I did read the full rules but it isn't really clear about whether it was just first to 42 points on a track wins the whole thing or how many tracks would be raced or if it was just 1 round on a track until someone hits 42 total (lol).

Thanks for the clarification.

Looking good . Nice to see something in North America for once

One question though, could you go into a bit more detail on how the prelims work?

Somehow I doubt that anyone misses the engine cutoff block.

Problem with that would be a lot of people simply restart an attempt if they make a slight mistake even though they could've finished the track. The rate wouldn't prove much at all.

Gold medals are too easy? :-? I think you're forgetting about all of us non-nolifers that think Gold medals are fine and challenging just where they are, thank you :P I have yet to get my first--granted, I've only raced like a dozen times in solo mode, but I can usually blaze through and get golds ...

I think they made the gold a lot easier. Can't remember what track it was (somewhere in the B group I think), there is one map where the gold ghost slows down at the start for no reason whatsoever, putting me ahead when the track up to that point was just a straight line.

With the new mania scripting, it's probably possible to create the mode yourself

At least you aren't complaining about Author Medals, which are much harder to get Also, the first few tracks are always easier to do.

Just curious, where are the servers hosted?

Hope this helps

^ This. It's stupidly more simple to drift in TM2 than it was in TMNF and it's 6 different ways to drift :>
