When you're doing these multiple stage events, please enter the car setup as each stage changes location, hit f2 for the recommended setup and see if it's different to the *actual* setup of the car.  I'm finding them different a lot of the time.

Yeah, I believe (havent exactly checked) its if you change location during a rally to another place, it will remember the old locations default setup.. Going from monte to greece is quite drastically different if you forget that :X

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

Yup, and it's a bug, not supposed to happen and CM aren't finding it with what I submitted already.

Whohooo!! I'm third atm!! (not counting the glitched 1st time)
Please @Hatward, fix that one, I make this kind of feats once in a lifetime! lol

So I've just done the first two stages of the weekly. This is the repair window after said two stages:





Seriously, look at the exhaust? Haha...

Who needs an exhaust anyway? 


that's after the second 2 stages in Germany in the monthly, the car was still pretty beat up after Finland :D

i lost front right wheel (completely) in 3/4 of last finland stage and pilot just said something like "car feels off", i didn't know what happened until i crossed finish line

frankly, i'm glad there wasn't a message that damages are too serious to continue...

edit: 2 stages of germany left and i'm on 9th place :D (not for long i bet...)

edit2: argh, im writing about monthly... sorry

Group A  - Finland
That Impreza standard setup couldnt be further wrong if it tried, but really fun when set properly, feels like it should now.
Drove dash-cam (the rain/wiper combo is a nightmare lol). Spun on both the 2nd and 3rd, but drove on... 17th at the min, I'm sure I lost 20 secs with my 2 excusions! :)

Finally we get to see Porkhammer IRL. 123

Ended the current weekly 22nd overall, without a fully upgraded Focus 2001 :D 
This included some minor mistakes here and there, and a huge moment which could have been described as "100 over jump into massive logs". If the hardcore damage model was in the game, then my day would have been wrecked.

I simply can't get a good flow in Finland. I either have to go slow and careful and end up 30 secs after the lead, or when I go faster and get a good rhythm I always end up bouncing 1 cm too far on a landing and clip a stone/wall/tree and spin/crash.

Started the Finland Group B weekly. Tried the Delta S4 (no upgrades) - crashed, on next attempt took a fully upgraded 205 - crashed, the S4 again - crashed, then the RS200 (no upgrades) - finished (the first stage :D)... so Ford RS200 it is then :D

Only 2 6R4's at the tail end of the top 100!!

Thanks - I'm on it.

[Porkhammer 78]

Group B weekly... done and done.

I don't think I've been so careful in any weekly before. Let's just say my lead won't last.

I don't know what it is with me and the final two stages on weeklies/monthlies?
Every single time I think "Don't push. Just drive it safely home." Then I become so defensive in my driving that I end up off track because I'm not on the throttle when I should be. Reset / drive most of the stage with a puncture.

An update on the top time in the 2000s Weekly - it was a bug with our cheat detection code. Irony levels at maximum. :#

Yes, I experience this, too. I back off and suddenly normal reactions don't work any more, leading to unusual lines, false braking Points etcetera. Annoying and proof that the mind controls the body...

You're probably experiencing the exhaust bug, unless you're looking for it (believe it or not) you won't notice the extra 100+HP you get once the exhaust has gone :(

Best car ever for keyboard controls.
Even hasn't need to change default setup!

Oldschool! CMR! Go-go-go!

IMHO, the game/career should start from such cars.

In my experience this can happen when your car bellies out over jumps, you may need to stiffen suspension / dampers to save your exhaust.

So on 70s weekly. After stage 4 leading with 20.49 time.  On stage 5 got the best time with +1 sec. but the time didnt show up on the leaderboards. On stage 6 got a time 2.46 and its the fastest at this time.  So my total time should be something like 27+ min. Instead got 44.35.905.... wat :D

hohoho... oh boy!

Maybe @Hatward can put some light here

[shadow118 18]

Just did the Sweden weekly, everything was fine for me. In the 4th or 5th race busted some headlights (when you can see only the bottom part, low beams or something), it was distracting, so I turned them off and tried driving in the dark, which turned out not that bad. The last stage was night and snowing. Here I just turned off the headlights near the beginning of the stage (nothing was wrong with them), and now I could actually see the track instead of the snowflakes flying into my face
