I worked up the courage to complete the GT6 Nascar Championship today. It was easy when I finally realized that I only need to keep myself in second so I could draft with the pack the entire race and slingshot out front on the final turn. Now on to that bastarding 125 Kart Championship.

Have you gotten gold on any of the coffee brake cone challenges yet? I give up on them quickly.

That was my same strategy when I was running track in HS and college. Hide behind the second place guy, because drafting works even on foot at low speeds, even more so on outdoor tracks with wind.

I tried the first and never set foot in another Coffee Break challenge again.

I mean, I've gold-ed all the License Tests, Mission Races and One Make Races but I can't manage any of the Coffee Breaks. The kind of challenge they offer just isn't any fun to me.

Wait, so you never tranq-ed the other runners or tied their shoes together?

Coach always said you didn't have what it took to win.

Nope. The worst you can on a track do is box someone in against the infield if they're dumb enough to try to pass on the inside. Cross country is a different beast. You're own your own out there in the woods. Spikes and elbows abound.
