Yeah, let's do it.

teh lulz? What does that mean?

It's internet for 'for a laugh/for fun". 

Early internet speak made common spelling mistakes such as 'teh' which should have been 'the' as the new alternative word. 
e.g. "for teh win!" 

Now 'lulz' is an expanded variation of 'lol', and there's not much story behind that one.

Let's take what you've learned and put it into a sentence: 

"Internet speak has truly bastardised the English language, for teh lulz".

Thank you for the explanation. My internet speech knowledge is obviously rudimentary.

Don't worry. The fact you had to ask about it is actually a good thing xD

Well, I configured the season. Made it last 3 events (that is 9 days) and it will start in 1 hour 53 minutes from the moment I post this.

I should have checked what was the actual default setup on this ... a little 'welp', but that doesn't matter as Ryu chose my least favourite half of Monte to be the dominant one, so i didn't care, just red-lined everything and crashed last stage due to very catchy front...

Haha, i was about to question if you were recording my session, same skin etc, but i haven't gone off there for a long time (because i went off their a lot early on :) )
Anyway, i retired on the 4th? i think, stupid similar issue, dropped off the edge :(

Great, managed to retire on the last stage because I had a puncture and almost fell off the edge - my mojo was gone after that and I quit.

That's some heavy retirement rate. I think I'm gonna go really slow - meaning even slower than usual - to finish and maybe even score some points.

Actually, next week is the earliest. They mentioned the fix will be applied early next month.

That's a false statement. Each part of Monte Carlo has 4 stages, therefore none is the dominant one.

Anyway, finished my runs. My service screen at the last stage looked like this:



Basically speaking, a lot of bumping into things. Lost most of the time on the 6th stage, where rear went a bit wild on a tight right corner before the hairpin and gave me quite a spin that ended facing the mountain... so reversing and what not, cost me more than 10s, while I still had a loss of only 7s... and that's basically the main thing for me with this event. When I had good runs, I lost small amount of times. When I had generally speaking crappy runs, I had the fastest time o.O

Well, in theoretical nitpick (just because i like Pra d'Alart so much) you didn't do a full reverse of Pra d'Alart, just halves, but did a full normal and full reverse of the other part of Monte, but, eh.

Wanted to give a shorter stage as a first one to allow some getting used to the car. Shorter stage should provide less time loss due to getting hang of the car. If I would give full reverse at the very start... well, that would've probably increased the retirement rate quite a lot xD

Okay, I did it. The first 4 stages were quite good, although I always have problems on the snowy parts. I have to use the handbrake quite regularly there, as I have way too much understeer and can't get the car into a proper drift.

Stage 5 was a little sloppy, stage 6 better, then in stage 7, I crashed into a wall. The car looked done, but to my surprise there was no puncture. Lost about 10 seconds there and a few more on the final stage, as the car was quite battered. All in all, not too bad.

Got off to a good start, was happy to be leading the WRC 2 category after the first few, but got beached on the 3rd stage and lost about 10 seconds. Procver passed me at that point and we were having a good race, but I jumped the start on SS5 so suicided off a cliff for a laugh :)

Yeah, it was a nice battle. Well just check in my previous post what happened to me right in the last stage, too close for comfort lol

Did all but the last stage last night. SS1 went quite OK, 10 seconds behind.
SS2 started good, but somewhere around the second checkpoint I suddenly heard the sound of metal on tarmac and paul saying "we lost the rear right". Which kind of came as a surprise for me since I didn't think I had hit anything. Limped the rest of the stage, 1:45 lost :-/
SS3-SS7 went OK, 5-15 seconds lost on each stage but that's where I'm usually at.
