For a while I thought it would be possible to do a clean run in Monte with the space star, but just a small touch in the start of SS6 cost me the lead. Punctured and had to change the tire since I hade the whole stage to run. Oh well, had a nice run with the mitsu as always 🙂

Whoops. Sweden went down the drain. First leg was mainly fine, but I had just winged a setup on two shakedowns so there were some moments... But then on SS4 it suddenly just cut loose on just at the end and threw me straight into the timing boxes. Lost the front wheel there, but no worries.... but then on SS5 it just suddenly threw the car around again on a compression that isually doesn't do much. Think I rolled 8 times, and lost the front right... and I had only taken one spare. So half of SS5 and the whole of SS6 on three tyres.... Went in hard with a half broken car on SS7, but it was really weird so no good time.

Cool! I've never managed to break the suspension so utterly without the whole car shutting down 😄

I upheld my tradition of driving and crashing in spectacular fashion with the space star for NE 😄

You should've gone for the space star, that car is made to be spectacular 😄

Ohhhhh, the space star ❤️ So much fun! So many small smashes and two offs in total, but what a joy it is to drive. Fiddled with the setup from germany a tiny bit and got it just right, and it was just so incredibly responsive to input 🙂

Space star continues to be fun. And also enticing me to push too much and crash over and over again 😁 Managed to repair the engine halfway at mid service, then decided I needed some air and ripped the driver side door off on ss4 😁 Very easy to see where the left wheel was after that.

Wow, space star on gravel is sooooo much fun! Made me play with it a bit too much, so just had one single clean stage, spun in all the others But the car.. It's so playful! The other r5s are dull and feel slow, the mitsu is so lively 😁

I went for the Space Star. That car felt... weird. Lively and fun to drive, but unpredictable. Had a decent run in germany, but managed to get a puncture on the haybales....

Difficult to decide the car. I got some decent experience with the old Fiesta, but I pretty much never drive the space star.... hmmm...

Exclude a rally... hmmm... let's not go to Argentina! And yeah, I'm with @YoMrWhite, three days per rally is a bit short for me.

Yeah this really is the best case scenario. More cash, a full spec next-gen engine to replace ego. But while the main dirt series and project cars are given brands that I think EA will want to milk/invest in, the less cash cow ones are always at risk when being bought. Will the WRC license be aimed to be an arcadey touch, or go the dirt rally route of realism? I can easily see WRC getting arcadey, and will Dirt Rally 3.0 see the light of day? DR really is one of those passion projects that EA really don't care about. Does it rake in enough cash for it to not be ripped to shreds by EA? F1 might get a bit more budget so VR can be added as a default feature (it's quite silly not to, to be honest)... or it can get more arcadey to sell more. While it might be a good move for Codies as a company in a financial sense, I still fear for the simulation style games of codies. As a big fan of DR that makes me at least a bit worried.

Well grats @somethingthing, completely destroyed the rest of us! 😄 Didn't even bother doing the last three events, still won 😮

Well I rebutted with a completely abysmal performance in Wales @UnderclassGDfan 😄 About the only good part was that the car actually held up to the end, which I thought it wasn't going to!

First leg of germany done. Managed to touch the inside of a corner on SS1 that made the car go up on two wheels, smashed slowly but firmly into a hinkelstein on the outside. Lucky go not get any serious damage. SS2-3 felt fine. Got to the end, but three mistakes that cost a lot of time. SS4 I managed to touch something on the inside and I spun, and on SS6 I was overoptimistic and overshot a fast corner and got stuck on a hinkelstein, SS7 I spun once again from touching something on the inside. But on a good note, all spins were due to me driving badly, so car felt really nice all the way 🙂
