Edit March 2016: Still works, but somewhere along the way the physics changed, and it slides around a lot more than it used to.

The challenge is to drive this rover from the South Runway starting location to the start of the trench (see videos for clarification) as quickly as possible. Best experience is with high terrain settings.

Controls:
0. Requires Medium/High physics setting (and again, high terrain setting)
1. Throttle to 100% and leave it there
2. Yaw = Steering
3. Pitch down = Forward gas
4. Pitch up = Reverse gas
5. Roll left = Airbrakes

Notes:
The most fun experience will probably be on mobile, using cockpit view; it reminds me of an arcade-style driving game. I'm also fond of the camo paint job; if you zoom out, it actually works better than you would expect on both grassy and mountainous areas. Hope you have fun with this, I know I have!
