Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to design a track before midnight. The internal hard drive on one of my PCs is in a very bad shape and I have to reinstall the OS on an external one, waiting for a replacement. Maybe I can search for old tracks in some folders, is there an alternative ready in case I will found nothing interesting? Sorry...

As you wish. I think we can postpone the start by one or two days.

[Cas]

Yes, it'd be nice to wait for Afullo!

[afullo]

Maybe I will be able to post the track in one hour. Stay tuned...

EDIT: here it is. I designed it back in 2001, hope it fits with the car. Name: Will Be One, because there is "todo en todos" (various track elements hastily alternating)... 

[CTG]

Thanks! Let's start.

[CTG]

Ouch, this one is quite long. A (k)nightmare!

[afullo]

First try, 2:38.15 

KITT seems not to like the track designer. 

[CTG]

2:27.25, probably my weakest published replay ever. KITT is not my friend.

[CTG]

2:07.65, still f*ckin' weak...

[dreadnaut]

Hahhahaha this is such a cruel track for the Pontiac    But now I understand why Knight Rider was filmed in dry and warm countries. Keep that car away from ice!

[Cas]

2:19.60 - I was very lucky in the first minute of the replay. That part was all in one run and I think it's optimum. But the rest, I can do better

[Duplode]

While I was also seriously spooked upon seeing the map, the track has a number of long straights, which make it less exhausting than its length might suggest. Below is a 1:55.35. Having gained a little familiarity at the R4K KITT race which ended a few days ago has certainly helped. In any case, figuring out what to do with the KITT outside of asphalt is quite an adventure!

[Daniel3D]

I have a hard time with this combo, haven't managed to finish the track or do a section well enough to save...
Kitt is not an easy car to learn manual shifting, and this track doesn't make it easier in my opinion.

For those higher up in the scoreboard this track/car combination might stir things up though.

[afullo]

2:19.80. Also dirt is not its favourite terrain.
