Mini daily went as good as it could with a Keyboard, happy with this one.

Escort on Germany - i impaled my Co-driver on the gate on the right side of a sweeping left. Co-driver's funeral at an unknown date.
my condolences, let me know when I can pay my last respects.

The Cooper daily went ok, no major mistakes, half decent time (3:51), not a big fan of FWD's though, they seem too unpredictable

Both dailies went pretty well for me, although I suspect there are quite a few seconds to be had with a little more bravery - ji1 will definitely deliver there!

Messed up two of the hairpins, but still managed 10th (for now).

The Mini Cooper is by far the car I do best in compared to others. It reminds me a lot of the car I drive on a daily basis (no power, no acceleration, but decent over bumps).

so basically, it moves and you can make changes to it's heading, it's like a boat, it's a boat isn't it?

Yay, screwed up both my dailies, when I do championship I have a fast clean stage almost all the time, now I do 2 dailies, I screw up, RS200 53rd place, fiesta 8th atm, wont be long before I'm somewhere around the 40's spots. Bleh.

God dammit, i shouldve practiced for the Fiesta, if i can do Frauenberg so well without practice. D: Didn't think i could do sub 6min with a missing upgrade.

Ford RS200 - Good enough, even after practice couldn't get braking points right. I don't do well on Greece with any of the Group B cars.

The RS200 daily went ok. Almost lost it in one bend, but somehow managed to set below 3 minutes anyway.

For the owners' club practice I managed a 5:50.0 by just driving through, so I figured if I pushed a little I can set a really nice time. Sadly I did the mistake of trying to take a 4th gear corner in 5th, and thus understeered into retirement.

Hmm too careful in this daily. I can't see anything in night stages. The time turned out to be acceptable though.

Wanted to do the RS200 daily today. Almost forgot about it, until I looked at the clock and it was 12:49 (The daily changes at 13:00 for me) :D Stopped what I was doing and quickly jumped in to DiRT to do the daily :D No training. Slid out at the first hairpin but was able to recover without resetting. Finished 199th :D but that still was enough to be in the top half of the top tier :)

LOL!!! 157th after 3 double JD's and coke in the sun here in the UK. "Dont drink and drive kids it doesn't help your times" But it is quite funny :# .  Sorry I haven't played for a week or two, been selling stuff on ebay like mad to afford a valve amp for my guitars.

Took plenty of risks in the RS200 daily, and it went pretty well.
Took no risks in the Mini daily, just driving through. I really cannot stand night stages!

Really unhappy with my PC now. Most of Hammerstein averages 65+ FPS, but then the middle braking point happens, surrounded by people. FPS dips down to 40 and just massive problems braking, especially with an RS200. There goes my run! Siiiiigh. It is a consistent problem too, Same for Mini daily, but thats uphill so it doesn't matter.

Try setting drt.exe priority to High next time. I have to do that every time I launch the game, or I get the same thing. It stabilizes my FPS at least - worth a shot.

My "RadeonPro" game profiler supposedly is set to auto-enforce that. I guess i should try a manual test of this now with this track, but i doubt it, i fear my GPU really hates that smoke above the crowd in the middle.


EDIT: Just checked, my auto "High" priority enforcer is working, its my PC just hating that spot on the track, There is a hairpin that also lags immensely on Monte too.

Just done both dailies, went pretty well, Manta drove pretty nicely on Wales, might consider doing some runs in that for kicks, the mini was terrible, mainly because I didn't really feel like driving it, so I didn't really take it slow, flipped it once, did finish top tier, but I didn't want to focus, fun drive the manta, but compared to the 037, very slow.

Yay for setups in owner's daily! Yay for Fulvia with max strength brakes! Except when i forget a braking point. D: i would have set a 2-3 seconds faster time if not for a single mistake.
Lancia S4? Erh, i dont drive this car with stock setup ever >_>

The S4 daily was the scariest thing I have ever done. That thing's suspension is so stiff! I went slightly off line in the final fast section and the car immediately started going bananas. I backed right off, so I don't think my stage time turned out all that great... but we will see.

Skipping the Fulvia daily as I STILL haven't upgraded it. Haha!

Had a good run in the S4, and took it steady. Currently 7 secs off 1st (in 2nd place) and @porkhammer says his time didn't turn out great LOL
