Rallycameraman 180 Posted July 22, 2015 Doing the Group B rwd now. Just bought the 037 so got no upgrades, doing it for the credits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallycameraman 180 Posted July 22, 2015 Well the 037 has now been added to the 'hateful cars' list. So that's all the lancias in the game that I hate driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same problem as last week.This is pissing me off now... it is annoying that the data which is very important is not being sorted. im not being dramatic but the whole point of racing/rallying is to get your positions and times.not getting it defeats any purpose in playing. rally is competitive. pls sort this out devs.its been long enough now.it should of been sorted.

DocStrangelove 155 Posted July 23, 2015 I love it, it's my favourite car in the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrangelove 155 Posted July 27, 2015 Finished #17 of 1400 or so in the Lancia event, maybe I and the S4 can become friends after all. But how the hell was ji1 three minutes faster? I know I made a few mistakes and didn't push all too hard, but... three minutes?? Must be a Borg or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallycameraman 180 Posted July 27, 2015 I didn't have the S4, so I reluctantly did it in the 037 and finished about 15th I think. Not bad really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrangelove 155 Posted July 27, 2015 Yes I think you were the best non-S4 driver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bongomaster 3 Posted August 8, 2015 What the heck? I just nailed pretty much every stage in Baumholder 2010s and I'm way down near the bottom of the bottom tier in every stage!?I know I don't suck that much. I was driving the Mini WITHOUT the engine upgrades. I'm thinking they must add a LOT of performance to the car.I like the idea of how your team learns more about the car to unlock its full potential, but maybe the performance gap needs to be a little closer. I think I'm running about 220bhp as opposed to the full 310bhp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foppaldo 0 Posted August 24, 2015 I hate River Severn Valley so much. It's just an endless succession of near invisible obstacles that makes the car go BOING.I normally don't use the "save & exit"-cheese, but I'll openly admit I needed more than a handful of attempts just to crawl speed through that stage without a major accident.

I sure know that feeling. I'm trying to resist the temptation to save & exit (oh please codies, remove that shit so we can compete on the same terms as the dailies), but on wales (and river severn in particular) I admit to rage-restarting stages.On a happier not, I almost managed to snatch a top 50 placement with the lancia, which is a big step up from my usual last 50 placements in weekly :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dytut 59 Posted August 25, 2015 I've decided to do weeklies and monthlies in "pure" mode from now on, no "save & quit" restarts for me. Anyone else doing it this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzoreXS 0 Posted August 27, 2015 Well... I have to say, the 037 weekly was a disaster...I just cant drive that car with default setups. I have a pretty good custom setup but I can use it only before service areas. If for some reason I have to save progress in hte middle of two stages, the just reloads custom setup for the car.The other event, 4x4 B´s is another story... there you can find more "logical" cars. I´m still deciding if complete the event with S4 or the 205.Ps.: I´m about to complete masters rally with the Sport Quattro; this car needs a lot of job... just feels weird.Ps2.: However, I never tried the RS200 until yesterday and it was instant love. I really like this car. I´m looking forward to get it to 5/5 upgraded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dytut 59 Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah I feel the same about the 037, default setup is almost undriveable. I rather drive the unupgraded opel manta than the fully upgraded 037 if I can't set it up before. (But then I drove horribly in the manta anyways ;-) ).Hadn't ran the S4 in a long time so I managed to spin it quite a few times and currently 4 minutes behind after four stages :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow118 18 Posted August 27, 2015 Im struggling with the 037 too. The wet roads wouldn't be that bad, but once you just tap the grass, it starts to slide. And my 200° wheel isn't making it easy keeping it going in a straight line :D I'm 36th after the 2nd event, but I feel, I could do a bit better.The Group B AWD, on the other hand, is a joy to drive :D I think the 205 is my favorite car in the game currently. It's like a combination of the RS200 and the S4 - easy to drive as the Ford (which is slower), but fast as the Lancia (which is harder to drive). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spokster 0 Posted August 28, 2015 I just finished the Peugeot 205 T16 evo 2, Wales rally, second place atm, but the system says I'm about 17 minutes behind o.O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WasabiWei 0 Posted August 31, 2015 I don't restart and drive cautiously. I am not going to spend more time on the weekly than a one-off run takes to be honest. I appreciate the up-front tone of this thread because I felt like times were off. Now I know why. Not that I was worried about placing high on the leaderboard.

On the 60s weekly took the Fulvia. I'm not very good with the 60s cars anyway, so this was a good opportunity to get upgrades for the Fulvia. In the standings I came in almost exactly in the middle (currently 47th out of 96) :D In the 80s weekly took the Sierra, which also didn't have any upgrades. Did kinda well for a stock car (21st out of 110 for now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foppaldo 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Love the 60s cars, but hate Monte Carlo. Going to be an interesting weekly.I'm going to use the other weekly to get my bimmer upgraded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkhammer 78 Posted September 3, 2015 80's weekly - Not too bad driving, but of course the cheater just pulled away.60's weekly - I need some serious practice on asphalt with the Mini. I lose heaps and heaps of time there. I'm the current leader thanks to some long sections of snow and ice, but a poor performance on the last stage saw the guy in second take a nice big bite of what little advantage I had... ...I might re-do this.

Don't throw rocks at me! too bad the online challenges are affected by cheaters. do we know their identity or how they basically cheat? ( is the cheat on more powerful cars or does the cheat generally change the stage time?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porkhammer 78 Posted September 8, 2015 No idea. I knew some people took massive shortcuts, but Codemasters sorted that by planting iron bushes here and there. How the cheaters got around that... I have no idea. But Codies are aware of it at least, and they're hopefully figuring out ways to stop that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgeesi0 260 Posted September 8, 2015 most of the cheats are turbo acceleration and instant brakes. they arnt too hard to find .Super Acceleration Super Brakes Car Vault Pause Timerjust checked that is still active. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
