    Question: what would YOU do with that bumper?  Have it signed?  Ebay it?  
    I'd Ebay it, then use the money to pay for the repair of the f**ked rear end of my car! 

    I have rewatched the clip multiple times now and Meeke was so lucky, that could so easily have been a retirement there. Fair play to Citroen, the C3 may have some handling issues on other surfaces, but it seems to be a tough car. 

    Three different winners, from three different manufacturers in the first three rounds. Tarmac next, I wonder who will perform best? 
    Well it's time for Neuville, isn't it? :-)

  2. Bouncing Finland done. SS1-3 went OK, could've pushed a bit more but I felt I couldn't control the quattro suspension. Car looked quite fine at mid-day service.
    Tried pushing a bit more on SS4, and won that stage at least. But I really shouldn't have done that... On SS5 the rear suspension started acting a bit weird, and suddenly threw me off track which damaged the suspension even more. Had to limp through SS5-6, since pretty much every little crest and undulation in the road became a death trap. And on the closing corners of SS6 the car just didn't turn and I went very slowly straight into a suicidal spectator on the outside of the corner  :s Lost about a minute or so on SS5-6 in total. Meeeeh.

    I don't think I'm gonna do very well the rest of this season.  Relearning driving and muscle memory on a different wheel and pedals is seeming like it might be a bit harder than I expected. Especially when the wheel fights back way more.
    I know that feeling, took a while to get comfortable when I upgraded from an old logitecg momo to a T300. It'll feel real good in a little while though.

    Wow, went to bed yesterday thinking, the Hyundai look good in 3rd, 4th and 5th place. Not so good now. Any idea what happened to their engines? They won't have overheated on street courses. Something fuel-related? Strange.

    Official word is some form of misfiring for all their cars. Maybe engine set up to handle the heat of the day stages, but struggling in the colder and shorter evening?

  5. Apparently a crash on the main highway left it closed for 6 hours, which as I said I know is out of their control, but the cars should never have been that far away from the rally. According to google maps, Leon is 5 1/2 hours from Mexico City, which is probably going to be nearly 7 in a lorry
    They should've at least driven the Mexico city stage earlier to have a greater margin. This was just stupid.

  6. Straight into it from game start, did some small adjustments to the gear ratios in shakedown. Once on stage I felt decently at home, but after a while the quattro suspension reared it's ugly head and sent me into space (or rather, off track). Reset and lost concentration, so did a small stop in a hairpin aswell.
    The rest went OK, had 2-3 small spins in hairpins, but nothing major. Did manage to keep my hands off the handbrake (the real quattro didn't have one), so quite pleased with the tempo considering I had to flick the car. The feeling of nailing the flicks is to die for in the quattro though, soooo nice :-)

    I suspect I'll end up in P4-5 in the end, too many small mistakes overall + the shitty SS1.

    Sorry for not rallying lately, stuff to work...

    but I got an idea: I will create a successor of our DRC once D4 releases (probably the D4C) and got an idea for the setup:
    With the might of  YourStage (If it is as flexible as I hope) I would propose 10 events per Season. Every location in the game run twice, pretending to be some other place. If possible I imagine 50 % of stages of an event stay always the same and only 50 % of it will be generated for every season. The 50% that stay the same will be hand-picked to set an unique character for each event, which could work out to make one Wales Rally very different from the second Wales Rally (also setting character with weather options)
    One example: There will be an Australia-Rally, very dry, sandy, fast stages (the 50% that aren't generated new every season)
    And then there will be a kind of Rally-Kenia (also set in ingame Australia), more focus on rainforest sections, very technical and with a very high chance of rain and muddy conditions. 

    Imagine that for every Location-(is like) :
    Australia (Kenia)
    Sweden (Norway)
    Spain (China)
    Wales (New Zealand)
    Michigan (Finland)

    What'ya think?
    Cheers

    EDIT: Or 100% are generated every season and just picked by how they look on the preview screen to get the character right, but also keep the not-learning-the-road part of rallying working
    It's like you've read my mind @SkyRex :-D
    I'd like it to be 50% stays the same, 50% random generated each season. After each event in the first season we can voice our opinions for which stages were the absolute best, so that in the end we get to have one or two "iconic" stages for each event.
    So in the end we'd have 2 iconic stages that return every time, and half or the rest will be switched out. So some stages might stick for a long time even though they're not iconic if they just don't get switched out, but we'll keep it decently fresh each season.

    Perhaps we let the winner each season switch out an old iconic stage for a new each season, if he/she wishes?

    So many tasty options for leagues with your stage :-D

  8. Weeeell, suffice to say I wasn't fast. Got in the shakedown and thought I'd try to make a setup that didn't bottom out as much, so very soft. Thought it felt fine at the time, but then I went into the stage, and it was horrible. Bounceyball deluxe, no control at all. Went back to default setup for stage 3-6, which felt better... but for the horrible gearbox ratios of default setup. Meeeeeeeh. 

    But @Headquake, that's damn impressive for a Manta I must say. Hats off to you :-)
