bogani 586 Posted May 28, 2015 I really do not like the last part of the stage in todays daily. It's trying to kill me all the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkhammer 78 Posted May 28, 2015 Great initiative!I was driving well, but I couldn't go very quickly. The car felt powerless. No mistakes, but I backed off a little in the final sector. I wasn't confident enough in the car to push through there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I don't think the cars ever been upgraded in the daily and it really shows now that all are upgraded in custom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did a couple of practice runs in custom event as i've not used the Escort at all before, and when switching to the Daily it felt slower and less powerful for me.I also backed off in the final section, those bumps can be real killers, and I f*ed up the last hairpin too, would've had 3rd fastest (so far) otherwise.

You still did a great time there. I just crashed out in the last section. God I hate the rough edges that catches yor rear wheels and sucks you out in the vegetation.

MastaVonBlasta 1 Posted May 29, 2015 I struggled with the yesterday's Daily. I've finished a long Career event and just wanted to jump in Custom mode, do three practice runs and record a time.But the fully upgraded Escort was a beast! I could barely keep up with it!I went in to the Daily focused on having an average clean run and abviously it ended up with me slipping off the track and being able to drive back onto it... I lost plenty of time + 15 seconds for an automatic reset... Oh well ;]Good news is that today I'll get a chance to do a bit of real life rally - I'm doing a driving experience at Knockhill Circuit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lapaljak 0 Posted May 29, 2015 Yesterdays daily stage is one of my favorites, could probably drive it without notes. Escort also felt great after a few practice runs, I was really confident I could get into top5. But in the actual daily it was not upgraded cuz I dont own it so my time wasnt what I expected, even though I did a pretty fast and clean run. Pos15 at the moment, still a personal best, im very happy :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkhammer 78 Posted May 29, 2015 Well I'm glad todays daily is done and dusted! I can't say I care much for the 2010 cars. They've got way too much grip, plus I always have to use my paddles with them as H-box would be wrong.Just cruising through the stage, nothing special. Group B cars tomorrow please, Codies? :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lapaljak 0 Posted May 29, 2015 Very decent time you got by cruising through @Porkhammer I tried my best with an un-upgarded fiesta and got 5th place, like 20+sec behind you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruben Correa Alves 28 Posted May 29, 2015 Noooo I was on the road for a 4th time but I crashed in the last righthander. Practised the stage 3 times and that one caught me out every time. :blush: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lapaljak 0 Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, I too have crashed in that exact turn many times. For once I remembered and took it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 250 Posted May 29, 2015 Despite never driving the escort before, no practice runs and losing 15 seconds in a ditch I was well in the top tier as of last night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkhammer 78 Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks Lapaljak!I know just the bend you people speak of. I don't like it much either! But so far I've been lucky to avoid accidents in it.My Fiesta has 0 upgrades because I can't be bothered doing championships with it, so my time will be beaten soon enough. I suspect by jl1 or Mr. Camera man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallycameraman 157 Posted May 29, 2015 Glad to hear you didn't have any upgrades haha I'm just about to have a go now, I don't have any upgrades either as haven't got enough cash to even buy the car in game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogani 586 Posted May 29, 2015 I know the first half pretty well but not the last so I idnät dare to push at all. I find the Fiesta extremely nervous with steering input. The Mini is more stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 250 Posted May 29, 2015 I should really try and practice at these first :(I was pretty quick through the fast sections, but was braking too early and left the road in three occasions, including the last turn, which seems to catch me out a lotalso the fact that I forgot to plug my laptop in and it alsmost died halfway through didn't help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
