"None of the drivers I've asked to play the game can complete the Nurburgring challenges at either difficulty."

lol, that makes me feel a hell of a lot better! I have only completed a few at hardcore difficulty. Some hardcore, and hard settings are very very close to impossible. Like the cone challenges. Those really piss me off. Novice might be 300 Kudos, easy 750, and medium 1,300. But hard jumps that number up to an insane number, something like 6,000! And HOLY SH*T!! Hardcore?, about 40,000 f**king kudos!!!!! I don't care what anyone says, THAT is impossible. But even if it wasn't impossible, the scale from novice to hardcore is VERY f**ked up on the cone challenge!

oh yeah, and mine only crashed once, but I was done playing anyway lol.
