Finland: Had a burp coming out of the left 5 after the long straight, brushed the ditch and spun. Thankfully no puncture. Apart from that it was ok, if not lightning fast. 27th so far.

Wales: Was very careful. almost too careful, as I got passive and hugged the fence in the first forest. Didn't counter quickly enough and ended up in the bank on the opposite side. The car slid down eventually (and fortuantely). 5:54 in the end. Currently 7th.

Racenet offline? cant get into online events atm.

edit: if i restart game i can load the online events ingame but when i go into custom event to do a practice run it wont save my time and then going to online events says "racenet service is not available. please try again later"

Seems like a lot of people are starting to get this lately, i'm afraid the fix is to delete the contents of your Dirt Rally folder and get steam to validate again.

Hmm, i wonder if the cause is the wrc2016 sponsor mod that I installed last time I played. Ill check it out later, thanks.

It's not, i run that.  Technically, the cause for this is the game finding a file it does not like.  When i had this problem, certain cars on certain tracks caused it.

It took a long time to determine the cause, and that a straight up cache validation does not work, nor does an uninstall/reinstall.

M3 daily was a bit meh. Way too many bad lines in some corners. I reckon gheed can grab at least 5 seconds off that time.

*providing he gets Racenet sorted.

Yup, that's how it happens, you will randomly be able to do some, all, or none of the online events.  


Actually, that's not strictly true, it's specific combinations of cars and stages that will determine whether you're able to compete.

After uninstalling, you need to manualy delete DiRT Rally folder from steamapps, because Steam doesn't delete the modified/corrupted files and if you just uninstall>install, the bad files will still be there

Cosworth daily went a lot better than expected. I had only two bad corners, but still managed to take the lead on the daily, and get a new personal best time.

Delta... eh. Got annoyed by how bad the first hairpin went, and tried to push the car a little harder than it could actually go. The result was understeering into a tree and a puncture. No point proceeding.

Any setup to publish for Germany?  I notice there aren't any and i like making a simplified versions of yours :)

I haven't made any tarmac setups for the Cosworth, seeing as I only ever use it in dailies... but to be honest the default one felt great to me.

EDIT: It just occured to me you could have meant the Evo X. Hard to guess. Anyway, it's the delta daily today, so no setups allowed there, either. I don't remember whether I made a setup for the Evo there anyway, but I can take a look later.

Well that was a complete cluster.

Was running well with the Cosworth until i got to that right left flick you take flat out.  The problem was that i cut the left hander a little too tight on the exit.

Wheel completely removed! :cry: 

I completed anyway ( @Porkhammer eat your heart out) if only because i wanted to record my epic fail.

Alt tabbed on the replay, loaded AMD Evolved to get the recording option, stupid thing opens up more windows than you need, closed it, closed the next window, not seeing that at the last second, it closed and i hit the X on Dirt Rally.........

 :angry:

Was on my way to a 3:05 in the daily. The entire run was perfect. Then I reach the final watersplash corner, was overconfident and tried to take it in third... understeered into the fence. Off the road. Yep. Fuck you, lady luck.

Second daily also gone to shit. I beat the leaders time on the first try in practice, figured I'd own it harder by pushing a little. Nope. Snowbank, spinnerinos, no point proceeding. I just can't stand myself driving poorly, it makes me angry... haha.

I've done 2 practice runs a 3:15 and a 3:08, really really really really disappointed LOL

RX daily: Skipped.
Owners': One very close call, and one very bad corner... a pretty sloppy first sector to add to that, I reckon I lost about 2 seconds in total.

Tried to do the RX daily but was taken out first corner, ended up facing the wrong way and got hit about 10 times by oncoming cars. Not a good start to my Dailys...
