Practice for owner's daily - 3m 42s, Daily itself fixed an old mistake and improved to 3m 40s \o/ I probably should not have used my Monte Carlo gearing style for this. >_>

Daily: Stacked it against a rock halfway through and the right rear was on the rim. Luckily the 60s car don't particularly care about rear wheels, so I drove on without too much loss of pace.

Owner's: Spent some time in custom event and found a setup that included a nice long gearing to maximize top speed on that very fast stage. Then I started the Owner's club daily itself and my Fulvia was hardly able to get up the hill it started on. Too late I realized that my Fulvia wasn't upgraded. Not my brightest moment. I could hardly get it out of 3rd gear until the final straight sector for lack of power. Oh, well. Next time, and so on and so forth.

Daily: Crashed without even trying too hard. My two practice runs both ended up at 5:40 so I thought I had some kind of consistency going, but nope.

Owners' club: Massive frame drops in the final section making me lose heaps of time. Thanks, computer. Daft cunt.

Last few dailys didn't go so well.
Yesterday with the Fiesta had multiple little crashes and offs, managed just over 7 minutes. With the Stratos ran off the track and ragequit, because I already was frustrated enough from the Fiesta run.
Today I guess it went fairly well with the Sierra, but I feel it drives a lot worse in Germany with the new physics (atleast I don't like it). With the Escort all was fine until at the end I hit a tree and busted all of the headlights so I had to do the last 1-1,5 km's in darkness

Yeah V2 feels wrong on tarmac with Sierra as well. I managed to finish though - apparently I'm first so far. Logic!

For the owner's club I had a figure set in my head - 6:58 - but I was very lucky to set a 7:00 dead after an extremely close call near the end. Landing hard after a jump and the Mk2 made a sudden turn towards the woods. After some serious right-left-right-left-right wheeling I miraculously had the car under control again! The whole thing took maybe 2, 3 seconds - but it felt like an eternity. I had a stupid grin on my face after the finish line.

Had a baaad braking screw up on that sweeping downhill braking point early on, but then i fixed it by driving faster everywhere else, still beating my slow ass practice time with the Sierra. ;o If only. Not gonna bother Finland at the moment, maybe an hour before the daily reset.

Daily: Car went up on two wheels and threw itself into the forest. Much realism, such wow. Fuck you V2.

Owners' club: Not bad.

Yeah my car rolled a few times in practice Pork. Maybe my car drank a redbull? Crashed in the event but that was my fault.

I wasn't even sliding, that's the best part. The car went up on two wheels anyway. Because fuck logic, right?

EDIT: To make this day worse, I just found out Philippe Bugalski died -- three years ago! I had no idea. What the fuck. I loved that little crazy, fearless french dude. Fuck.

What a fuckarow day.

daily: Easy, smooth run, the rain made it a bit slippier but no biggie for the 4wd  ;)

owners daily: Had a run atleast 10 secs faster than 1st, but that last right jump-turn i slid bit too far and hit a tree.. Spinned few times and limped to the finish line.

Daily: rolled up the middle of the road at any place that sort of resembled a corner, I don't really understand why...  No real interest in continuing after that

Daily: A fairly smooth run with a handful of very hairy moments.
Owners' club: Driving safely for this one, as I kept getting punctures in practice when trying to push it. The time wasn't so bad in the end.

Daily: Goddamit messed up a landing and back bounced to the air and spun me. After spin wanted to see if i could still challenge porks time and finished the rally, 2 secs lost... oh well
Owners: The bmw is a blast to drive, no problems there just enjoying the drive. Video posted in the replays thread

Really happy with yesterdays, Wrx in the rain, ran 30 seconds off Porkhammer time, but still right at the top of the rewards, and I did it blind, practically first time with the car, haven't been playing finland (don't hate me) and in the rain too.

Owners: All was relatively fine but crashed near the end and had to reset, result - the very top of minddle tier :d  
Daily: Some hairy driving with a bit of bumping into stuff until about a third of the way in one nasty crash comletely broke off my rear left wheel and also punctured the front left one. Didn't retire, just carried on, sideways and doing 70km/h :D

owners; sierra rs550 on Fferm Wynt; time: 03:24.691

i'm happy with that time, mostly because i accidentally skipped that practise quick run option, and my setup sliders was all suspension and dampers (rear diff too) on max to the right, just to see what happen...

Daily: Decided to go with clutch along with my H-box for this one to gain a few tenths. Normally I only use H-box as is, but the clutch really seemed to help. My time was very quick even with a couple of sloppy corners. 3:09.975 - seems to be quickest so far.

Owners' club: Sierra! I love this car. I wanted to guarantee a finish - so basically went as fast as I could without taking any risky cuts etc. Love the way this car drives. 2:57.742 - also quickest so far.

@Porkhammer your daily time is 0.5 seconds or something behind @gheeD s  #1 overall time, I doubt anyone's gonna come close to that today.

Daily: Somehow punctured a tire over the 3rd or 4th jump then lost it over a crest and killed my car. 
Owners: 3:13 with 1/4 upgrades. not bad I guess.

Right..
Fiat Daily, can only describe my feeble attempt with this picture


The wheel-arch actually clipped through the rock, i should stop forgetting about this rock >_>
Sierra Daily - Eh, wasn't the fastest before my mistake, but then my mistake gave me a triple puncture not far from the finish!

Sierra: Did a super safe run of 03:23:141 (currently 36th) as I haven't had much practice with the car since the new update.

Fiat 131: "Front right puncture".
