DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Finally got mine! It's cool, but I've yet to master the Kudos stuff. Anyways, I've got all you on my friends list, so I'll send an invite if I see you online. Even though I suck.

BTW.. if you haven't seen me online and you WON'T see me online recently.. it's because I was "forced" to move to another apartment and they will not have DSL installed for about 2 weeks.
Sigh.

I think you have to beat the game on Platinum to get Nurburgring. Or come in 1st place online when racing at that track.
The hardest car for me so far to drive is the Classic Ferrari TB.

I just think the cone challenges are the most difficult, platnium cone challenges seem too hard.

If you go through the kudos world series and all the arcade challenges at least at the steel medal level you will have unlocked all of the tracks and can use them when you host a session online.
I don't have a lot of gripes about this game and most of them have to do with finding a good session with decent people to race with.
I wish the developers had made it easier to use more of the cars in a race. It seems like only about a third of the cars get used on a regular basis and in some of the classes there is only one really good car. If I set up a session with one of lesser used cars then those who don't have the car unlocked can still race but the car is a ghost. Its difficult for them to race with it and for others to see it. To make things worse, once I set up a session using only one car, I can't change the car and have to start a new session to use a different car.

I finally got Nurburgring by accident. I joined a game where they were racing on it. Some where along the race, the host dropped out. But instead of getting booted out, I was the only person left on the track. So naturally, I came in first and unlocked the track. Very strange! But I'll take it any way I can.
Where are you guys? I never see any of you online any more.

Gotta hook up with you one of these days, I really liked your idea about car selection for online races.

I realized how obsessed I am with PGR2 this morning when we had a delayed start due to an overnight snowstorm. Not only was I glad to get a few extra hours of playtime in, when I got to work I overheard two ladies talking about the drive in. One of them was saying how she took it easy and didn't slide around at all in her car. All I could think of was, "N00b! You can't get hardly any kudos driving around like that!" Good thing I didn't say it out loud or else I would have had to stand around and try to explain it.

I found this list of racing car classes over at xblRacing
It is similar to what I was using with some modifications that I wholeheartedly endorse. Thanks (and kudos!) go to Kingpin for the testing and the list.
Kingpin recommends combining the following classes:
2 & 3
4, 5 & 6
15 & 16
19 & 20

Anybody play "cat & mouse" online yet? It's all the rage!!
This works well with an even number of players. You divide into two teams by picking like colors, say a red team and blue team. Then one of the players on each team picks a Cooper Mini, and the rest of the team picks Enzos or whatever fast car is available in the Ultimate class.
So the goal is to get your Mini across first, by the fast cars either protecting their own team's Mini or blocking the other team's Mini. Too fun.
With 8 players you could either do 4 teams of 2 or 2 teams of 4.
