Daily: Felt extremely slow but was apparently very fast. Fulvia logic for yous.

How the hell are you so quick in the Lancia? I had it revving its head off and was still much slower than you on a stage I know well.

I think it's a bit more to it than just revving... ;)

I don't know. Left foot brake to turn in better, good throttle control, handbrake in those extremely tight corners - and never use 1st gear. I don't really know how it happens, but I hope this helps.

I had no practice in the Sierra, and did quite well, still in top 10, the fiesta was okay, until I was close to the finish and for some odd reason decided that it was a better idea to go inspect some plants from up close, so after my car was done sniffing some plants I made it across the finish line, but unfortunately did not place anywhere near the top 10, still a lot of fun none the less :smile:

Is there a possibilty to have the co driver calls a little earlier then normal? I just had a call on monaco in the fog, for a left 3, so I brake for that corner, BAM into a wall, because the call was too late, the co-driver call earlier is TOO earlier, I need something in between, because I can't remember the earliest call of the co-driver, I had to retire my daily because of it.

Daily: Not too fantastic. I can't get any speed out of the Integrale on asphalt. Some two seconds down on my PB in the Subaru. Why I'm currently at the top spot is a mystery to me, but I should be happy for that.

Owners' club: 3:51 in practice, crash boom bang on the daily itself even though I wasn't even trying. I'm guessing this is due to me thinking about 10 million things simultaneously 24/7.

I comforted myself by setting a new PB - 3.49.7.

Yeah, right! 
Sorry, I forgot people don't like it when I'm unhappy with my driving. People are generally like "you're on top, shut up and be happy". It's not that simple to me. I want to drive well, and when I make mistakes of course I am going to be annoyed at myself for doing so. I don't do this to be arrogant, but rather pushing myself to perform better. So - I apologise if I come off as a bit of a donkey's behind...

I actually know how you feel. Like I do a clean training run for the daily and then in the actual run make some stupid mistake, and even if the result is relatively good, I'm not happy with that, because I know, that without that mistake it could have been better

Regarding the daily, the Lancia one was ok, the Subaru one I just fucked up (sorry for the language :D)

No criticism intended. I just meant it's no mystery to me why you're in the top spot.

Today´s Daily went great - I finished at the top of the leaderbord! ...though that was probably only because I was one of the first to finish the dailies. Felt nice to be world best for 5 minutes though xD

I think it is all in good fun - we just like to tease you. Your sig says it all. Good advice right there. I try to do the same - it just isn't working out quite as high on the 'boards, is all, hehe. I keep improving though, so I'm happy.

Daily: First lap I was driving pretty poorly despite practice. Understeering everywhere. I started to pick up the pace by lap 2 though, and by lap 4, reaching the final bend... a whole train of AI drivers were in my sights. I managed to sneak past one of them cleanly, but the rest of the dudes driving in slowmotion I had to use the grass to get by. Not my preferred technique but hey... it means my time is second quickest so far. But Codies please... speed up the AI or remove them all together as nobody likes them.

Owners' club: Went a bit better than expected, but I couldn't touch Backalley.

looks like some kind of typhoon.. or amazonian rain has arrived to Pikes.
Despite the 205 PP car is 50% spoiler you´ll get no traction at all xD

that rain + full power/ no power engine = penalties & time above 10:00... shame on me.

PP daily: Did a 9:22 in the first run. Crash boom bang hrhr. Soo.. I decided to make the second run a clean one without any major risks, and the timer stopped at 8:58. So I'm happy with that.

Owners' club: Felt like I was a bit too careful in places, but the stage time said otherwise. So I'm happy with that as well.

The Delta Daily today seemed extra-slippy to me. I know that Wales in the mist is supposed to be, but I was really all over the place. It has been awhile since I drove the 2010 Mini. I must be really 'off' in that thing. I hit a pole and a wall before it was all over. Ouch!

The best part was that the hairpins were like drifting in slow motion. That was really cool, nailing some slow drifts. I was going soo slow, and yet drifting all the way and having to power into the turn - like point the car inside and power on, carrying a long drift nonetheless. Usually it grabs on me earlier, even in snow or Wales. I may play with this car more on Wales. *correction*  Yep, going back in custom. That was fun.

Daily: 3:15.4 in practice. Didn't dare pushing that hard on the daily itself as night stages are my weakness - so it'd have to be a 3:17.2. I'll take that, thank you. Stupid night stage.

Owners' club: Went pretty nice and smooth until I reached the final snowy section and turned in too early in those silly bends, and bounced into a wall on the other side. I'm lucky to have set below 8 minutes.

Is it just me that gets spun around at the start of EVERY rallycross race? Literally a second after the lights go out I get rammed straight around, nothing I can do about it.

Delta daily went OK, though it hasn't brought up a split time despite registering my time on the leaderboard so I have a feeling it hasn't logged properly.

question about the cheaters affecting the leaderboards in online events:

Are they also affecting our Credit earning situation as the Delta Time to the fastest competitor is of course grown much larger cause of the cheaters ?  (so we finish in a lower Tier stage time? )

Yes, I think we are getting less credits... how much?, I dont know. it depends directly in the number of cheaters above you.

After a little Hiatus and a freshly installed donation thats the size of a "R9 280X" I did the Lancia daily damn well without practice! .. I couldve done so much more, but i am still riding the upgrade hype train.
