Blarghh ! Had a comfortable lead after SS3, then I somehow managed to puncture a rear tire halfway on SS4 because of some stupid mistake, and I had no spare. It was impossible to drive the car any longer so I had no choice but retire 😞

Finally racenet up and running, I at least managed to finish the rally. Came out on top, and this I really had to work hard to accomplish. RWD up and down those mountains on ice/snow is a nightmare !

Problem is now Racenet. If the servers isn't up within an hour I can probably not finish the rally. Too bad because I think I was onto something here.

Assists is a no go for me also. Much better to drive without. About the Lancia, it's way easier to drive (in Monte anyway) than the BMW. Tried the stage a couple of times with the BMW, did 8.14 at best and it was scary as hell to drive. Then I tried the Lancia for just half the stage and noticed immediately that it was better to drive. Managed 8.02 on the actual run.

Racenet is a joke !!

****. After first stage I'm 6 seconds ahead of Snoopy43, but now racenet is down and I'm not able to continue. If I leave or quit to menu now the progress will be lost !! Gawd damn !

Well, conditions should be optimal for speed, no track degradation and full daylight. (I'm exerfit (racenet name))

Well, Poland, what can I say? I think that and New Zealand has to be the stages I've driven the least. I had to drive safe, can't really push hard when I don't really know the stages that well.

Puncture early on SS2, no spare tires. Had to retire.

Ah, unfortunately I forgot the whole thing 😞

The only assist I use is "Automatic Windscreen Vipers". Everything else makes you slower.. Btw; I did not qualify in world series, I'm attending a different competition.

First run in a looong time driving without VR !! That was very unaccustomed to say the least. Reason for doing so; I'm attending finals in a competition where I'm probably not allowed to use VR. So I have only a few days to get used to driving on a pancake screen 😞 That's tough !

Hehe, yes. But I was not expecting to make it because I was so far behind. And I really hate Monte, specially in DR2. In DR1 there was at least some grip in the snow/ice parts. Personally I don't care if the level of grip in DR2 is supposed to be like this IRL, it's no fun at all. The dry parts is kind of ok.

Got off with a terrible start, puncture early on SS1. Somehow I managed to climb my way to the top in the end..

You can relax @SkyRex, I’m pretty sure I’m NOT going to win them all 😄 There are some countries I just can’t get the hang of at all.. yet..
