jl1 has the talent to be able to push hard while staying out of trouble at the same time. Most of us mortals can only do one of those things at a time. ;)

I noticed that Rallycameraman reset his monthly event, so I followed his example and improved my overall time with 17 seconds. He still eats me at the night stages though! Damn cat.

[Cortextual 146]

Yea ji1 is awesome, my comment was more regarding the fact that it was him that knocked me off the front page lol

Sucks for you too :x

[Cortextual 146]

Oh you reset a 1st place monthly? crazy.

[Porkhammer 78]

Well some of my driving was a bit too gentle. :)

sry guise :C 

Drove the daily in a safer way then I usually do, lost all my confidence in yesterdays daily after tumbling off the road.

Also at stage 4 or 5 of the weekly I lost 40 seconds to someone.
HMM

[Cortextual 146]

Stages 3 and 4 of the weekly had some BS times, but it was showing overall times that were way ahead of what was on the website too, think it was just glitched or something. When I look at my times there's nothing in the tier bar at all for those stages.

I think it's bugged in-game, the events page shows the correct times.

EDIT: Oh wow, you weren't kidding. This sylwesterp guy took 22 seconds off you at stage 4, and 19 at stage 5! He must have found enormous shortcuts. I was cruising through steadily and did no mistakes, and lost 50 and 54 seconds respectively. Ok, I know I'm terrible at driving front wheel drive, but come on! Something is not right.

Yes, I could have sworn it was two stages! I went from being 10 second ahead to 1.15.-- (or sumfin) behind the 'delta'.

Another thing. Shouldn't we, in the weekly, be able to do setup/shakedowns before the first stage? Twice now it's been straight to the stage. At least here. I think I saw someone else mention it?

yesterdays daily resulted in my first flat tyre  :/ took 11 minutes  :s
I actually had no idea what the problem was (although I new something was really broke) until the slow mo after crossing the finish line. I was like oooooooohhhhhhh there's just a rim there, damn I shoulda known

[Cortextual 146]

Yea should be able to do setup before stage 1 but it def goes straight to stage. I saw one of the devs mention something about it in a thread on steam so I guess they are aware of it.

Yes, I noticed that too. We aren't "allowed" to setup for the first two stages. A bug, I believe, doesn't make sense.

65th overall... I suck hairy balls with the 60's fwd toys... was not even the best Brazilian!  :(

Just checked the stats again, my 6th place is no more, now 21st, still within Top 30 of the 17xx players, I could have made a better run, got to keep working on my hairpins, not my strongest point, but the Fiesta truly handles awesome, and the response is heavenly thanks to the anti-lag system, my lancia from group a still needs Turbo upgrade 2 and weight reduction upgrade, had to start over since I lost my savegame, almost done with elite championship, got to do master again, dreadfully hard.

I found a better set up for the Mk2 and thought I'd have another crack, thought I did some good times, but see you're still beating me by 6 seconde after 5 stages. Had to quit before the 6th one today as was going out for the day. Hopefully have a good run over it tomorrow.

Still haven't found a stable setup for stages, apparently one of my weaknesses, I adjust some things but always end up screwing something else up, so I tend to go with the crew recommended, with minor adjustments to gearing depending on the stages.

[Porkhammer 78]

I haven't bothered setting up the Escort at all. All my previous attempts made it understeer, so I left it be. :D

[Spokster 0]

If you got understeer, maybe adjust brake bias?

[Porkhammer 78]

No, it's fine during braking.

I was doing so well on the weekly (for me at least, within 20 seconds on one stage) only to crash on the final stage, dnf  :'(
The daily was my first time in the fancy cars and it was awesome, handled much better than the crappy cars which is exactly what you would expect, really happy with the game even if I did terribly in the stage

That sucks man. At least you were happy with the times though eh. You can reset the weekly and have another crack at it I think.

It's one of those days again

[Porkhammer 78]

Daily went well. Staying out of trouble.

[Spokster 0]

Yeah, mine was okey, still managed to be within top 30 for now, but I made a few mistakes, didn't practice the car, just went for it, figured I just need the daily cash, did manage to win myself the Masters Championship a second time (even though my savegame was gone, so actually done it twice now).

[Cortextual 146]

Porkhammer 1st by .2 nice one. I'd certainly be shocked if any norwegians come along and beat that :x
