I found one of the coupe cone challenges and the Grand Touring ones to be the most difficult.

I thought the way I do it was the only way, but apparently others do it other ways.
I just go through and make sure I get every single gate in the 1 or 2 laps in a combo.

If that doesn't work then you probably just need an extra slide or two around a corner because of the massive effect the combo has when it gets really high.

Right, I have just bought an X-Box and have been playing PGR2. It's hot. Complete the KWS a couple of days ago on silver, gotta do PLat to get the CLK though.

Is anyone gonna formulate a list of the top times per car on here? If I get chance I don't mind going through the posts and making such a list. I.e best time per car and best overal time. What do you think?

They are different games Scuby. GT4 is a sim wanna be. While PGR2 is somewhere between sim and arcade.

I played GT3 and in comparsion to PGR2 its doesnt come close to the fun factor of PGR2. Plus you get some sick cars in PGR2. Shit load of exotics, all big names were GT series features a shit load of Civics. And the graphics on it are just spectacular.

I know a few friends who were Gran Tursimo followers and now converted to PGR2.

I guess we will just have to wait for GT4.

You get the CLK buy finisihing the game with GOLDS. The platinums will get you the TVR Speed 12, the fastest (straight line) and most over-used car in Live! Time-Trials. Action Replay spoilt the game a little in my view.

I'm reserving judgement on GT4 until I actually get my hands on it. Granted, it looks good and the addition of Online play is attractive. Somehow though, I think PGR2 will win overall as an all round online racer. I'm completely un-impressed with Sony's online system. To give them credit, Microsoft have done a great job with the Live! design. The Friends list system is fantastic. I also think that the XBox and it's Hard drive abilities (downloadable content, fast load times etc) may make GT4 seem a little "behind" when it comes out.

Still, like I said - I'll wait until it actually comes out.
