The Dirt Daily Thread

Recommended Posts

Daily went pretty nice, a handful of sloppy corners but overall I think it was very fast, only 2 seconds off my personal target time.

I managed a 6:10 in practice which thanks to the game just being released got me a (very very temporary) world record, then went to the daily and binned it twice and finished with a 6:53 :( shame really as at the time id have been 25 seconds clear but oh well

Was delighted to discover what the Wager event was today, but I went into it with an over-confident attitude and clipped a few things; nothing major, but enough to put me in like 50th.

The 205 daily in Sweden went well, but it was not a pleasant experience. I held my breath for most of the stage. Incredibly difficult to keep it on the road while driving at a reasonable pace.

I Agree with that. Had a few spin-outs, but still ended up high on the leaderboard. It seems that a lot of people struggled with this combination. Not a fun thing to drive for sure.

The wager, on the other hand, was pure joy to drive, especially after the 205 on snow :D

@Hatward I guess that's kind of symbolic.

Whaa?  How did that even get posted?  Pretty sure that is auto denied by the system these days.

Had to drive the daily 100% blind there.  No pacenotes at all, & very little engine audio.  Just a weird helicopter-like wind buffeting sound through the headphones.  Spun over a blind crest, got unlucky 13th...  
Thats rallying I suppose!!

Sorry, make that - No audio on either Daily.  Staked full whack too....

No audio on any stage now... Fine in replays though, that's handy!!

EDIT: Ok, fixed it, by switching the console HDMI audio output to Stereo instead of 7.1

and then took 12 seconds out of the Daily leader....  :(

Lancia 037 Daily... that went really fucking well. O_o Not a sub 6, but the fact it was actually manageable is freaky.

Those damn stone things lining German stages... Lancia ended in Alt+F4 rage
Subaru was actually enjoyable but I did some figureskating with bunch of 360s

I ragequit my 037 daily as well (OH YOU GOT ME AGAIN RINUS LEL) after managing to spin it in the slowest corner of the entire stage. Such is life. The tarmac physics are well dodgy in RWD cars though.

037 daily went great, went really fast and didn't make any mistakes. Subaru daily didn't go so well - I lost a lot of time on the snow section and had small mistakes here and there.

I guess @Hatward needs to visit dr.nibras. How do hackers even get to dailies (first time seeing those bastards)?

The Subaru 2001 owners' club went a lot better than expected, got a new personal best even... in slippery conditions. All I had to do was keep it smooth and tidy.

Both dailys went pretty nice. Started with the Impreza, started with some cool ice drifting and ended bumping some rails, but it was a good run.

The 037 in Germany felt kinda weird. Had lately driven a lot of 4WDs on that track and so I took the first corner in a similar matter.. that was a mistake :D Went off the track with a long slide on the grass. Also had a spin-out a bit later, but after that it was a clean run. Ended up high on the leaderboard. Still, the 037 on asphalt felt kinda off, definaltely not as good as in the weekly in Wales

Practised for the daily. I was pretty much convinced I'd be able to set the fastest time for once. When it mattered, stress kicked in and I made a few tiny errors. Enough to waste almost 2 seconds. Shame about that stupid dr.nibras whatever it is. Wanted to enjoy my ride in CREST, but I can't even find a way to get rid of dr.nibras in there.

Delta daily, Polo at Kontinjärvi... I actually managed a 5:58 in my first practice run. With default setup, that has a low topspeed of 203 kph. I figured if I pushed just a tiny bit harder in the daily event itself, I'd be good for a 5:56. Didn't happen. Just a handful of corners in, I tried using one side of the car slightly in the ditch to get a better line. Then all of a sudden the nose took to the skies and I was a passenger until I hit the trees at a decent speed. Such ragequit. wow

kontinjärvi and polo is my fave, was pretty confident going in. warmup run with the default setup yielded me 5:50,8 time, so I went straight in to the daily. Apparently I was being a big ol granny and finished 3 seconds slower on the daily. Think its good enough nonetheless.
