Game crashes whenever I enter a race. There's a sound glitch and then I'm back to desktop.

In the Bathurst track, you can corner cut for a quicker time.  Is it allowed?  I bloody hope not, because that will be a complete farce if it is. @loore @justbiglee

Just had the strangest bug.  I was driving around Brands and just in middle of Sheene curve when the session host left and my screen faded to black and I came back in the race crossing the start/finish line.  I clocked up a 57 second lap which I'm pretty much sure is unachievable and I lost complete drive from my wheel thereafter i.e. no control at all. Anyone else had this happen to them?

Anyone else having issues with their controllers disabling mid-race? Controllers: Mouse - Logitech G500s Keyboard - Logitech G110 Wheel - Logitech G25 Software: Logitech Profiler - wheel Logitech Gaming Software 8.53 - mouse/keyboard Happened a few times now but for whatever reason, either my keyboard or wheel decides to disable itself mid-race.  If the wheel does it, it ususally comes back again on its own, or I have to use the keyboard to get back to the controller options and enable my wheel again.  Sometimes the wheel stays active and my keyboard disables itself, which means I have to plug out/in to get it working again.  I've tried different USB ports to no avail so bit lost on what to do.  Fortunately it's not happening every race but I've been kicked from a few sessions for just appaeraing to stop mid corner and cause collisions.

Having an issue where my game just freezes for around 2 seconds mid-race, and I also lose the time in terms of track position i.e. if I'm 2 seconds in front, when I unfreeze I'll be dead level.  I rememeber having stuttering issues in Grid 1 but this is something completely differnet.  The game just hangs and then 2 secs later I'm back on it.  Admittedly, I like many others have probably been spending too much time on the game in one sitting and these freezes probably happen after a couple of hours or so.  Any thoughts? Will observe cooling temperatures over the coming days and see if I notice anything that's relative..

Looks like my mum works at Gamespot judging by the driving.

That for me wouold be a complete waste of time and resource, and I think so for many others.  There's likely to be less than 1% of the community who'll use this.  Last think I want to hear my mate saying is "sorry lad, I meant 1 left tightens, not 6 left opens.

It could be absolutely anything! Text chat for online (PVP), any car any track, ability to edit name tags into windows, manual choice of playlists session.  I hope all is revealed soon!

Go and play grid autosport, seems the norm over there. 

I think Asysnc is similar to how the daily's run now, meaning you play the same stage but at different times.  Maybe the other ones are for actaul real-time rallying as per recent dirt series?

Everything that gor said. Grid 1 was the best because it was purely skill based.  No vehicle setups, no tuning or upgrades. 

It's a party mode, they are designed to crash you.

That'll explain Monstro's ban then haha :) Good to see anti-cheat finally up and running!

That's because Grid 2 was garbage.  No place for drifting your Bug in Autosport I'm afraid.

Yeah I dunno what the deal is with the camera.  I'm recording on default shadowplay settings and rendering 720p in Win Movie Maker. 

Ah bloody Bathurst, I'm sick of that track!  Posted a 2.08.140 - but will let my fellow racers judge the final left hander as you come off the hill onto the long straight :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acXd_CyvNrA&feature=youtu.be

Yep, always happens on the 3rd event of a race or time attack for me.  ...custom cup obviously...

The problem you have with that is nobody will post until the last daywhich is kind of boring.  As far as I'm concerned, if you have the time to invest in the game, record and post as many as you like

I think we had the winner decide on next combo but don't quote me on that.  Perhaps if we go the thread voting option, we get the top 3 places from previous round to post their combo's and we vote on those? Just choose whatever for week 1 and go from there - perhaps ending next Friday for lap entries, put up a vote for the weekend on next 3 combos and begin round on the Monday through to Friday.  Rinse and repeat etc

Would it be an idea to create a seperate thread for each week for the car/track combo we choose?  Just be a bit easier to find for everyone.  Maybe even put up a voting option within the thread for a bit of democracy on combo selection.  Just a thought but don't want to make it complicated.

I'm not sure how this assists things work in terms of impact on upgrades - never even heard about this before..?  If that's the case, if everyone just uses ABS as a general rule and whatever else they choose as their preference, would that mean its fair for everyone then in terms of non-working upgrades?  Just thinking of those who do use assists will have a learning curve to overcome just to be competitive, or be put off from this altogether. Loved this comeptition in Grid 1 and Dirt 3 - we had clear and specific rules!

They won't put another sierra in there, they're not that stupid!

I hope all the wall riders and corner cutters are banned from it, myself included.  If not, mines going to the charity shop. 

But where does that stop?  What if someone touches a wall and slides along it, but aren't intentionally wall riding?  They may raise an issue with CM/Intel if they are in contention for a prize and their times disallowed, as will many others.  It just can't be policed properly, it's not in the current T&C's and that's why they cannot retrospectively say it is not allowed.

They did answer, justbiglee posted the T&C's.  The whole competition is governed by what is in there.  They do not mention wall riding, probably because it is impossible to police.  Anyhow, fact remains, they won't say yes because they don't want to advertise the fact that they will allow glitching.  They won't say no because it is not in the T&C's, therefore, they cannot change it. What they should of done is tested the track and see if there was anyway to exploit it but I guess that's leesons learnt on their part.  As you mentioned the other day @dirt3joe‌ - the only people to suffer now is likely to be us, as future competitions will probably scrapped altogether.
