Top 25 On Monte without any practice, while running some stream testing so not bad, this car felt surprisingly okay. Mini in my current championship run was unbearable, so not sure whats with the big difference.

Owner's Daily, excited for this one. Did about 20 mins of practice and jumped in. Not yet confident enough on V2 to go max attack on this stage. First 3/4ths went decent, not incredible but I felt I was ahead of pace. Last quarter I lost some confidence due to an issue with my steering wheel but still managed to just barely bop Porky's time. Not sure if it's my wheel or the game, but I've been getting this issue where the center of my wheel gets offset to one side. By the end of the event my wheel's center was pointed at 10 o'clock. Seems to only happen on the '01 cars and 2010's.

My daily was ruined by a spectator standing in a junction too close to the road. I landed next to him but nope. Car was reset. Jesus fucking christ.

Oh well. 6:46 in practice though, with a handful of mistakes.

I had the same problem, hit a very badly placed spectator and then had a puncture from landing a jump at the end. Still, fastest at the minute, although should've been sub 7 minutes :(

Hmm the owners' club didn't go all that fantastic either. I did 5 practice runs... of which I finished two. The rest was punctures, but I was happy with a 6:07 eventually. In the daily I had to drive like the car was full of eggs. Brake hard before every jump, and I still had some extremely hard landings! My water temperature light came on about halfway through - but at least I was lucky enough not to get any punctures. This track is a real car killer. I also so nearly hit a tree in the very final corner, so I should thank Lady Luck for setting a 6:09.8.

First time EVER on this stage, with KB for controls and a BMW - what could possibly go wrong?
Apparently not much, 7m 41s. I am left a bit frightened after driving that. x__x

The owner's stage i did know a LITTLE bit, so there i went at a decent pace, if i may say.

I don't have much experience with the BMW and hadn't driven this stage backwards yet. I should have practiced more but got lazy and did the event with minor practice. Driving with all of these insane bumps makes me lose motivation because it's just not fun. Some late calls near the end lost me a couple seconds but at least I finished. Time was just under 7:09, in 1st currently but I don't expect to keep it.

Daily: Went smoother than expected. Nice, clean, and fast run.
Boat daily: Myeah, I'll get back to yous on that one. Still trying to adjust to the R.M.S Impreza. EDIT: There we go. That's as fast as I dare go with these physics. Could be better, of course... but it could also be a whole lot worse. I finished though. Weeeeeeee!

Mk2monday: Pretty great, few practice runs to nail the stage down, as I have driven the kakaristo stage less than köntinjärvi.

Germany daily: Well, I did few practice runs and felt confident, loaded up the daily and... I had praticed wrong stage! Well, tried to do as fast as i could and ofcourse it didnt end well. Felt like the braking points were much longer at verbundsring than  flugzeugsring O.o

edit: Wait what? The website definitely says flugzeugring reverse but when you launch the daily you drive verbundsring! :O wtf :D

Daily: Braking too much.
Owners' club: 3:12 in practice, 3:17 in daily. Why? A spin. Because of one of those little retarded arrow signs at the side of the road. How it can affect the trajectory of a 1250kilo rally car is beyond me.

Fuck.

Man I´m sick of that stuff too.

precisely, yesterday during a weekly run one of those small colored triangles got stucked on my bonnet braking my car like if pushing a dead cow... I had to perform a full stop and reverse a few meters to get that shit out of the car. Incredible.

Dark matter made I guess.

Just on the subject, has anyone found the small catastrophic yellow bush on the inside of the 3 right, don't cut?  Its a brick wall on first race-pace impact, but reverts to being a normal soft meaningless bush after it has wrecked your stage!!

Nah, I've learned not to trust any bushes... so if I see any that are close to the road, giving one the illusion of safely being able to take a snugger line - I take a five mile detour. One can't even bop the edge of the edge of the edge of those things without smashing the car.

I don't know, if it was that one (but it was a right 3 or 4), but in one Finnish stage I cut the corner a bit through what looked like some bushes, but the effect was like hitting a tree stump. And it was so sudden and unexepected I jumped in my seat :D

Did a nice practice round of 3:16 on the owner's daily, but when I ran it I crashed my car and got reset, resulting in a catastrophic 3:41, totally ruined my run, daily went better but even if I push hard, there is always a 6-7 sec gap between me and the first, I like a challenge, but that's just insane, I need the game to remain fun, and that level isn't fun anymore, so I'll be happy to stay 7-10th place if that is what it takes.

Daily: Almost understeered off the road in the first hairpin, braked too early for the second. The rest of the stage was nice. Lost one and a half, maybe two seconds.

Owners' club: As always I struggle with finding pace on tarmac, but a 3:48 isn't too shabby.

2010 Cooper isn't much fun to drive, IMO. It's okay at hairpins in 2nd gear so long as you keep the revs up going into it. You'd think for such a light car that it would have some more torque, but it's not horrible...not nearly as bad as the Group A Ford's low gears. I wasn't enjoying myself enough to practice hard for this daily. Did a few runs and got some 2:57s. Winged it and managed a run on par with Porky's.

I got 2 big stutters which kinda put me off. Ended up overshooting the junction left. Ah well...

I fucked it up lads; I fucked it right up! Went in there cold, and I was bent over for it. Serves me right for being a cocky little minx.

I'm trying to get better at proper left foot braking. Which went OK with the mini countryman, really felt like I had a good time for me (maybe 15 seconds behind the top dogs). I was so happy that I decided I could take one of the left 3 over crest flat out... Words of questionable nobility were definitely heard.

I find it hard to know if I'm going fast (relatively speaking) in the Mini Cooper. My run felt clean and quick, but the time at the end told a story of more clean than quick.

I have no love for the Countryman, so just drove it without practice, punctured my front wheel halfway through and crawled it the rest of the way as I need the credits. Somehow managed to stay within the top tier.

Had a nice 3:34 in practice with the Fulvia. Then on the daily I crashed for some reason. I still don't know how it happened. This car isn't even fast enough to crash.

Just another lucky day.

The owners' club went better. I was pretty happy with my driving - clean and smooth. 3:30 in practice, 3:31 on the daily. Default setup - however, in hindsight... I really should have upped the gear ratio for that final flatout section.
