The Dirt Daily Thread

Recommended Posts

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

I got some epic air on that jump with the banner overhead, pretty sure before the patch that would have popped all my tyres...

Delta daily's broken, no delta time, everyone shows as bronze
The daily itself went fine, had a spinout at the beginnging, but other than that it was ok.
RX daily also went ok.Yesterday started RX Masters championship and got through 3 events, so was still in rallycross mode :D

Hillclimb went great yesterday, the 405 was easy to drive, very neutral.


Unfortunately the Achievement didn't unlock however, it appears to be bugged on Xbox.

Not a particularly good day to do the dailies. 
Delta went like I suspected it go...I've never done much Sweden, and I don't really like it either. But the Kadett actually felt way better than expected. Still spun a couple of times on the banks and came to rest on them twice and reset.
But then again it didn't register....so why bother.  :/
RX probably went alright, somewhere in the upper tier, even though FFB is still fucked up, cutting in and out constantly and randomly. Almost threw me off completely on one of the straights.

I'm really starting to dislike the game we've had since v1.1 a little bit. FFB on RX is completely broken (at least on Logitech wheels it seems), Deltas are dead as can be, and replay is pretty much unusable with all the blur issues on the camera. Even the best new content can't really make up for the way they, somehow, managed to fuck up not one, but several completely unrelated parts of the game.  :(

Delta daily: 2:19 on first run, 2:16 second. Reckoned I could own this daily. Nope. Spin.

Don't race on an empty belly, gentlemen.

Really not happy with my driving on the 2007 Focus daily. Very sloppy. The time turned out to be ok though, so whatever.

Owners' club was a bit sloppy as well, especially in the snowy bits - where I lost all my advantage according to the CREST telemetry. Oh well.

Owner's daily I screwed up, I pushed the throttle too much on a piece of ice and slid around stuck between 2 railings, managed to finish the stage but lost about 10 seconds there.

Daily went a bit better, but I hit the sides too much lost about 1 second in the daily, did 1 practice round in custom, but that went better, so, improvement is still required, also noticing that the less I play, the worse I get, need to stick to it, community is getting faster! :D

Started off with owners' club seeing as it's way more fun than the thing the R4 category insists on calling a Subaru. 2:47.1 in practice with very clean driving, but as expected I couldn't repeat this drive in the daily since my concentration levels has taken a vacation. Went too fast into a corner putting the car on its side briefly, trying to make up lost time I went off again, so I saw no point in proceeding.

Couldn't go fast in the R4 daily because the setup felt sheeeeeeite. 
Could go fast in the RS200, but ultimately suffered for it.

R4 is my bae, daily 1 was fun. RS200 on the otherhand is not my favourite, but it was going alright until right after first split i slid out of track and lost some 5 seconds to get back onto the track and keep going again. I was hoping i would get first regardless but someone was faster :D

R4 daily went ok. 50-60ish currently.

RS200: bought it for the heck of it. Suddenly that car is drivable! Currently 14th with an unupgraded car. I'm fine with that. :)

Daily: All was well until I rolled it just before the finish :D Still, was a fun drive, just don't like that car very much

Owners: Again, a clean run with a crash at the end :D Well, not exactly a crash, just went off the track and down into the trees (to the right side on the last foresty bit), but luckily didn't hit any trees head-on and recovered quite quickly. Even with the off had a good result

Pretty bad driving in today's daily. The default Hyundai setup is way too soft for my liking, it sort of leans in every single corner, so I felt I couldn't push it at all. Need a level car to do that. Some small mistakes were also made as a result of this, and one of them nearly threw the car into the woods. How I saved it I do not know. 2:39.9 is what I got. Hoping that it'll be enough to keep me in the top 10 come reset, at least.

Found the gearing funny on the Hyundai & only after pints & food, happy to be third!

Wager - great fun, took a tyre off & spun before the 90.  Finished on 3 wheels, happy to be third & dying to watch my Crest - lol

Hyundai: Currently 12th, which I think is my best ever rank in a modern car. I'll take that.

Wager: Drove caustiously the whole way. Still managed to completely botch up my line through the final turn-over-jump and smashed into a group of birch trees. Had to wiggle and twist my way out, but still good enough for top tier.

Daily: Car was horrible for the jumps with default setup. Adapted to it best I could, we'll see if its any good.

Wager: Okay-ish, few times a bit too sideways to be fast and smooth but alright.

The Quattro is unpleasant as hell to drive over the limit in Finland. The nose spent more time airborne than on the ground, and I only managed a 2:58.1 in practice. On the daily my driving was incredibly poor, which angered me to the extent that I didn't let it upload. I cannot stand bad driving from myself.

The way you have to drive the Quattro to get a 2:57 like gheed is ridiculous though. No slowing down on jumps at all. It's more or less pedal to the metal from start to finish, and a strange combination of skill and luck combined inbetween. At least I felt that it was more down to luck than my actual driving skills to drive that quickly.

I really thought I broke my record for longest jump in this daily. I didn't, but needless to say I stood no chance to stay on the road after landing. Another crash later on and 45 seconds down on 1st place is what I got. That was the good part of the dailies. The wager - let's just be quiet about it.

I went into today's Wager event "blind", didn't know what stage or car I'd be on, turns out it was the ______ _______ at ______ :worried: 

As a no-assist controller user I was dreading the worst, but I managed to nail a strong (if a little conservative) run :smiley:



Onboard footage is currently being uploaded to YouTube, I'll post a link tomorrow.

[Edit: Didn't realise stage info should be kept private, my bad.]
