Top Gear Science matchup thread
« on: February 20, 2009, 07:34:38 PM »
I'm starting this thread to help people get "opponents" for this challenge. 

Edit:  I'm listing matchups below.  They exist only to facilitate the apparently predictable twist of a "stig," so don't worry if you're matching up with someone who's faster.

Lotus vs. Countach
Spiny vs. Fndr

I'm looking to the Lotus, but can switch to the Lambo if we get overloaded. I'm also crossing my fingers I don't get Snyder or Serial as my opponent :D

Don't worry about your "opponent."  I think the Exodus guys are largely switching over to RacePro, at least temporarily.  Anyway, it's all in good fun.  And there's always a twist.... ;D

I'll do a Lambo, but I may also do the Lotus if I have time.

Is race aero allowed?

For the guys that have xbox live, would it be worth swapping cars with your opponent so you end up with two times for each car.

I think we are all grown up enough on here to do it honestly and may make it into more of a tuning comp.

I was thinking we should pick someone as 'The Stig' and they drive both cars... Snyder? Some say he plays Forza wearing white racing overalls and a full face helmet...  :D

Shame Race Pro is grabbing all my time at the moment though, this sounds like a fun challange..
