I forgot to post scores and set a new track this week, so I guess let’s just let it run until tomorrow and reset on our normal day.

To anyone that might be interested, you can get [the game](http://www.direct2drive.com/2/8769/product/Buy-DiRT-2-Download) on direct2drive for $10 this week. Is there any way to gift it to people on d2d? I need to start shoving it in some people’s faces 😛

That’s a really good deal. More people need to buy this game. It’s fun.

And yes, we know it’s a racing game. We didn’t like racing games either when we bought it. Try it out for $10, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

😃

Now that I have my wheel, I’ll never report a competition time within a minute of first place. ☹

I got that time with the wheel, but I don’t think anyone was trying too hard. It’s definitely easier to set a top time with the gamepad, although I’m gradually getting better with the wheel - one area of advantage is that it’s really fast and intuitive to use the paddle shifters for manual, moreso than using gamepad buttons.
