So Dailies today;

Pikes Peak- meh!

Wager- So I'm not allowed to say what it is apparently but safe to say it is a much more friendly option than yesterday, finished with flying colours

Woooohooo, a replay worthy wager (obviously uploading after next dailies start)
Could've gone under 6 min, maybe? Still, i like this car way too much.

Seems to be the new rule: whenever you do a decent daily, I classify a split of a second behind =)

Looks weird to have Top 2 and Top 3 filled by KB players :D (at least for now)

I hate to say it, but i have inexplicably retired from the last two dailies, not done todays yet, but needless to say, i'm somewhat forlorn about the dramatic retirement screen recently :(

Todays wager was almost like an exact opposite of yesterdays one. Yesterday was maximum stress, today was a joyride.

Daily: Incredibly sloppy driving, especially towards the end. I suppose I should be happy to be leading, but... it never happens if I drive like that. So I'm going to sulk some more. ;)

Owners' club: Went so-so, a couple of really bad lines and a misshift caused me to lose some time.

Bäähh.. 7:00 in practice with the seat. In the daily, it went even better.. Well, until I faced a wall after 4mins or so. Could have been the lead.

Seat: Monte on ice, downhill with rear brake bias and strong brake strength? Not as funny as you might think.
If I so much as touched the brake pedal the rear end came flying past me. Got rather annoyed. Retired.

I really hope there's a fix for "not-the-default-setup-in-events-with-vehicle-tuning-disabled-bug" in the patch...

Yes, some of the default settings are just awful. So you have to tiptoe through the stages.

Seat: Went flying off the cliff about midway of the stage :(

Stratos: Actually had a blast. That has to be my favorite RWD car. 46th out of 1145 is not too shabby :D

Ford Fiesta: horrible, horrible driving! Two huge mistakes prevented a decent run. For example, in the error free sector 2, my pace happened to be 1.3secs faster than the current leader (excluding that cheater). A 2.56 would probably have been possible. Well well, dream on, if you drive like this haha! & crashed that fiat into the woods in the other daily..

Daily: Had a 2:55, maybe even a 2:54 going... wrecked it.
Delta: Felt pretty good, though I don't even know whether this was fast. We'll see.

Yes @Porkhammer, it was. Fast that is.

And the 131 Abarth is one of my favorite cars...though not particularly with a standard setup.

Daily 1 was going great until I clipped a rock in sector 4, ripping the back O/S tyre off in the process :(

What's the deal with the leader of the Fiesta daily? In Crest his telemetry stops halfway through the final sector and that's apparently where his time has been set from?

So Pikes Peak, 8:22 only a slight mistake(2-3secs), first for a minute then that RiCsEsZ|RS guy beats me by 9 secs, at least let me enjoy it for a bit. I would love to see crest just to check where I lost all that time. For what is more I really wish this guy is a hacker, but his time I think is possible.

Finished yesterday's daily in the Fiesta in 30th out of 3188 (Dice73AF - PS4). That said, I finished with a 3:04.181...just over four seconds off the pace. But damn G, those PC guys are fast. 2:54 - 2:55... 9 seconds off the pace...I know where I can be "more brave"... Next time.

Daily: Pikes Peak... in the dreadful 405. I refuse to drive this car with its crappy default setup, so... skipped.
Owners' club: Wales, Integrale... pretty good run. Only one or two bad corners, hopefully they didn't cost me too much time.

Yeah, the default setup on the 405 is pretty dreadful. Currently sitting at 9th place (PS4). 14 seconds off pace in comparison to my PB 8:39.xxx and custom setup in the sunny condition.

It's alright complaining about poor default setups, but then it becomes a driver skill test at adapting, rather than winning through superior setup.

Oh I can adapt to it - managed to win some dailies with it. I just don't like doing so. Because it's dreadful.
