The karting challenge: 1:10.666, to the thousandth
This time it is not about being the fastest. It is about being exact.
Drive one lap in exactly 1:10.666. Not a thousandth under, not a thousandth over. It sounds easy until you are on the new layout, trying to brake a fraction later on your last lap.
Hit it to the thousandth and the night shift has something for you. The challenge is open in every session, all day, for the whole of The Night Shift.
Axe throwing, arcades and pool: same game, different mood

At 20:00 the lights go down. Will you be there?
