Not really. Was logged out. Had to log in. Still works. Checked the twitter feed, up-to-date. Hit ctrl+f5, still there. It's problem on your side I'm afraid.
Well, its Error 500 on my PC, & on 4G on my phone, which would suggest that the problem is not on my side. :)
And this suggests it is (at least partly):

Which suggests that CM have servers in more than one location and at least one of them is down. 500-error code IS a server problem. (400 means it's your own problem)

Not working for me either btw. Been down for just about a day, give or take.

Yeah it's definitely a server thing, as I had no less than two Steam friends complaining to me about the dirtgame site being supposedly down yesterday, but when I had a look it worked fine. To my knowledge they still can't access the site.

That is what i feel on most V2 cars, they do not want to be even remotely stiff on tarmac. The Escort wasnt so bad, but man i forgot how to control it when it mattered X__X

The 2001 Focus can be tweaked to feel quite stiff/responsive. However, the 2001 Impreza, my god that this is a boat. Feels like driving a wet sponge.

It does, but my goodness, I do love the challenge of driving it!!

On topic of daily itself - in the Wager, i managed to stall my car quite a bit mid-air, the fact all engine sound stops throws my sense of speed off  D: The sound goes back all right if i press gas after landing, but still unwelcome to my senses. I do tap my brake a lot mid-air due to whatever habit. Hard to tell myself to stop it.

@Porkhammer any changes for a video with telemetry tool recorded? I'd love to see how you operate with a throttle.
How often do you have pedal to the metal on MC?

I don't have any telemetry tools as they all seem unusable on replays... and what's MC? Monte Carlo? I honestly wouldn't know how often I have the pedal to the metal there, haha. As often as possible? :blush:

I'm doing something wrong or my setup for monte carlo is completely screwed up. I need to do a big research this weekend...for first my car doesn't seem to have so much power to keep the revs in same level in corners, for second it's drifting when I'll 3/4 speed that you go ^^

Lancer Evo daily: went kinda awful, yet I still somehow managed to slot in the top tier :D Had like 4 resets, lost a tire :D 
Wager daily: One of the most stressfull runs I've had recently. Did some practice runs (you can see the combo in the dirtgame events page), the furthest I got was about midway of track. That was from maybe about 10 practices or so. So gave up on that and went for it :D That car with the new physics is a completely different beast. Drove kinda carefully, but still managed to pop a tire one whole split till the end. If losing a tire on the Lancer is no big deal (it's still quite stable), then on the Pug it's a whole different ball game :D Dirving it with three tires is like trying to balance on a rope...on one leg... while juggling angry ferrets...   .... :D Even with the slower last bit, still did ok, to my surprise :)

Daily: Spun out and still managed first somehow. I guess gheeD must have had an accident along the way as well.

FYI codies: There's a serious bug with the R4 cars and possibly others but it's most noticeable on R4. The body seems to be clipping the ground every time you compress the suspension past a certain threshold. The car locks up and kind of jolts itself. Almost wrecked a few times. Take the new subaru on Fferm wynt and you will notice it in the first 20 seconds.

Edit: It affects the Peugeot 205 heavily as well. There's definitely something going on there. Literally feels like I'm draggin the body of the car on the ground every turn/compression.

Heavy production cars could well bottom out. Bear it in mind when setting up suspension

It's definitely not about suspension Kev. Like I said, take the new subaru on fferm wynt and you will see how blatant it is.

Does it with the 07 Focus as well. I tweeted paul about it and he said he'd check it out so hopefully it will be fixed in 1.0

Yep. Spun early on and decided to keep going with balls to the walls nothing to lose -mentality. Only error due to that was one too loose slide that cost bit more time, but managed to catch up to my pb split times.. I think the pace would've gotten me like 5:52 or so.

And totally agree about the ground clipping thing, really annoying but with some setup changes you can lessen the impact and make it a bit easier to control


Wager event: Well, did a really good pace run, no puncture or radiator damage all stage, decided my setup cured the punctures and before first split on a small jump landed too rough and got left rear puncture ._.

I have no excuse for my poor time in the daily, I just don't know how to go fast in cars after 2000.

Not sure I'll attempt the wager daily with a car that gets a puncture if you just look at it funny, in a stage consisting mostly of jumps... somehow the 50k gain for a top tier wouldn't seem worth the hassle.

I'm not sure what went on with the punctures generally, everyone was popping tyres like corn when Finland first came out.  I, for one reason or another, didn't really play it outside the dailies, and having played it much more this last week or two, it seems far less likely to lose a tyre from landing than when i first played.  I haven't changed my crappy ass driving either.

I'm rubbish in the Evo, I can't manage its weight very well.  Went for a clean drive-through and still managed to clip one of those small ridges of stones which pitched me off the road... :(

205, in the wet, on my favourite stage...  Tip-towed through slowly after hearing of all the punctures & betting all-in, fairly clean and unadventurous, 9th at the minute.

Well my wager daily was... interesting... I forgot to shift down for a 3rd gear corner, entered in 4th. Understeered into a tree. Passenger door came off. Car stopped with its nose facing the forest. I reversed, put it in 1st... engine cuts out. Get going again, tip-toeing through to avoid punctures... still quickest time so far.

k

I'll see if I can set a decent time offline now. :D
