> So I cracked into level 30. It unlocks, as we know, the Vettel special race and it adds the colored X1’s to the new car dealership. You have to be at level 40 to buy one though. I noticed there is no color names with the X1, which leads me to believe it’s color can’t be changed just like my carbon.

> The Vettel challenge is fucking tough. Basically you have to run two laps flawlessly, flat out. I managed to roll the X1 on it’s side in the first turn of the Nurburgring GP track. That was awesome. I came within 4 seconds of a bronze time at Monza, Suzuka is a nightmare too…fuck. I think I spent an hour just trying to get a bronze on at least one track, nothing. If you go off the track; disqualified. I need to practice more and keep trying.

This is one challenge you really need to have a wheel to accomplish gold on. The car takes such minute steering input to be perfect it’s difficult to do w/o a wheel.

As far as the color stuff, I was able to paint the Zonda R and I don’t remember that having a a color name next to it either.

We need to start setting up more online races with criteria/restriction so we can start using these cars we have now.
