Funny you mention that.  I actually did have a much harder time with the Road Rage events.  But I've always hated those and haven't played in a while.  I was also using the Island cars to do it.  I think I finally ended up switching to the Calvary (1st car) to do them just to get them done.

I used to enjoy Road Rage, loads of animated crashes and frantic gameplay. But as I said, it's the short roads on the island that make it difficult. Going over the bridge solves that problem... I used the Inferno Van for maximum armor.

I also had a problem with Stunt Runs.  But I think that had more to do with being unfamiliar with the Island.  In the other part of the city, I already have some routes worked out and just always headed there.  So I was in unfamiliar territory.

If you had problems then what should I say...? But yes, it's clearly being unfamiliar, which improved while trying though. Took me multiple attempts as well but the last one was my best one ever, 50x and 5,000,000points

I also had to do a few of the races multiple times.

Those are fun though and made me the leqast trouble. I raced with the Dune Buggy, which is fun to see as all opponents are Dune Buggies as well.

What is the best car to use, one that is easy to control. I tried one that would spin out everytime I hit gas.

It's a tip from Mark, but ever since I am actually able to complete Stunt Runs: Use the Cavalry. It can take some damage and is slow(!), so less likely to crash or spin out of control. Then I even drive slow and only hit the gas when approaching bigger jumps.

Have any of you done or known about the 12 day/night bike timed challenges on the island?

It was in one of the podcasts, so I knew and did them.

While not eactly about Burnout I thought it's easier to just revive this thread:

Seems like Criterion were not laying back since the release of the Island (see what I did there...?). They have been working on a new title in the Need for Speed series, which certainly needed fresh blood since the critical failure of last year's Need for Speed: Undercover (I understand this year's need for Speed: Shift was already a highlight again).

Actually, I expect that the next Need for Speed will equal the next Burnout. I mean, the latest NfS went the simulator route, which is not original style for the series, so why not do something of the Burnout style...? I would think they hired the team for a reason... Think: Need for Speed: Burnout
