A platinum medal in Need for Speed: The Run for the Winter Blast challenge, "Just Drive".

This challenge is incredible. The best one yet, in fact! But no challenge is without its flaws. At 0:27, the fastest way to turn the corner is to smash into the wall due to the ice being there and forcing you to take it very slowly if you don't. But after that, the challenge leaves you to the open road and lets your skill and experience take control.

I make an error at 0:52 and don't cut the corner as sharply as I should due to hitting a patch of ice. The rest mostly goes pretty well. A few light errors here and there that may add up to a total of a couple seconds to my time, but it was not a bad run at all and with no resets, at that. Take the big turn at 2:09 more aggressively than I did, if you can. It's at a great angle to do so. I hit the brakes a bit early at 3:22. An ice patch at 3:53 made me tap a ledge, but with minimal slowdown.

This is the closest thing we have to an endurance challenge, so expect to make a few errors. Only some practice can truly allow a person to get through this one, although it's not as difficult as some other challenges.
