Hyundai daily: Punctured a rear tire not far from the start. Was going fairly well for 3 tires but at the very end (like I could see the finish line) I crashed and flipped the car on it's roof. Instead of 15 seconds ahead of delta I got 0.5 seconds ahead of delta :( And it was going so (relatively) well

Apparently I won yesterday's delta daily... in a 2010's car. After clipping a tree. oooook

Today's daily, RS200 in Monaco... not as hysterically sensitive steering as it used to have, I wonder if Codies did something? Nevertheless... trying to pull all the tricks in the book to get a clean run in, but that is an extremely rare occurence when pushing hard, so mistakes were made. I reckon about 2 seconds lost in total. Doesn't really matter though as there'll always be players with massive amounts of grip on the snow sections, so I'll estimate that I'm going to lose 5-6 seconds to those.

Daily: 037 in Monaco - very interesting combo. I didn't suffer from hypersensitive steering today either, lucky me. Aimed for a clean run, and a clean run is what I got. The time was pretty fast as well, but it is by no means unbeatable.

Owners' club: Polo, Wales - beginning of the stage was pretty ok, but a multitude of tiny mistakes towards the end meant that I lost 2 seconds.

Eeeey i am back in the daily. Surprisingly okay result for Wales. Woo. Definitely lost some time due to a .. what mistake was it again, something about sliding forwards on my left door and then continuing as if nothing happened. Just Wales things.

Arrrrg! After a quick 2:41 practice in the polo/wales daily, i figured i could take 1st with a bit more push. Side swiped a tree half way through and came to a complete stop. I was still on the road, pointing the right direction and and not broken so i decided to push on.
Finished surprisingly still in 6th.
Yey. :)

Monaco/Escort RS: was going fine but about midway I clipped a wall or something and that left me perpendicular to the road in a very tight section of the track. Had to do like a 5-point turn to continue going and lost a lot of time there

Greece/Stratos: again, was going fine, but had a half spin in one corner, tried to continue going off track but got myself stuck and had to reset :(

Daily: Ransbysäter! Yay!
Car: Ford Sierra! Yay!
Setup: Default. Oh ...

I can live with the extremely poor gear ratio setup, but front bias brakes? That is extremely tricky to drive with in Sweden. I couldn't take a single corner the way I wanted to. Target time was 6:25. I got a 6:29.

I hate front bias brakes.

Ohhh, so mad again. I love the Ransbysater stage and i f'd up the first corner in a stupid way so i just retired.

Went into the Wager with determination and was pleased to see another favourite car and stage. 
Smooth and fast. Finishing just behind Rampage is fine with me.
Yay.

Daily: 2007 Focus, Sweden. I like this car - providing that I can use my own setup. Alas, this is a daily event. Default setup. A handful of small mistakes, but I don't think I lost more than 2 seconds.

Owners' club: Fiesta, Monaco. My own setup, woo. Did my best. Snow section went pretty well, tarmac section left a lot to be desired. Still, happy to have finished both daily events with mistakes kept to a minimum.

Today's daily was no good. Can definitely do 2:35 or thereabouts. Unfortunately, this is a daily event - and thus we're using default setup - which means the 205 thinks that I am using 20 degrees of rotation. I had to drive through extremely slowly to avoid crashing, and only managed a 2:39. The mistakes in sector 2 did not help. Ugh.

Have you had any response regarding this issue? Or is this not related to the G27 problem you've been having?

No response. Definitely related though - I had the same issue on my old G27. The 205 and RS200 are the absolute worst, especially in Finland. Close to undrivable.

Daily: Ibiza, Germany - messed up the downhill junction. Other than that it was a good run. Nice and clean.
Delta: M3, Sweden - I chickened out right at the end and lost a second or two, but happy to have finished.

Daily: RX, skipped.
Delta: Metro, Wales. Awkward default setup. Oversteer and understeer. 2:51 in practice while taking it easy. Pushing for a 2:49 in the daily. Car overreacted to that banked third gear right hander with the concrete (insert english word for those things here) on the inside, clipped it, car bounced to the left - trying to get the car back on the road, but it kept bouncing, because V2 physics are very legit. Lost at least 2 seconds so, Alt-f4.

Anyone else noticed replay cockpit blurring in the 306 daily 2?
No, I always record my dailies from cockpit cam, and noticed no blur.

Well, not in the cockpit driving cam, the onboard style cam that is shown now and then during the ordinary replays.

Oh. This I did not check. Perhaps it's related to the shader detail thing again? Mine is set to low, otherwise I suffer from motion blur. Motion blur is poopoo, as we all know.

Anyway - Manta daily, Hammerstein... nice and easy combo. Trying very hard. A little too hard sometimes, but the time set was pretty good, regardless. Leading at the moment.

Oh, Opel Manta, thee Terror of the Tarmac.

What a very FUN push towards P2! ... Probably will fall down to P5 or P6, but, hell - #KeyBro. Very satisfied.

Oh, Manta. I'll admit that I'm terrified of that car. That it locked up in the rear was no help. It didn't end well.

What did end well? The Wager. Currently 6th. :)
