Fairly quiet event. Kept it between the scenery for the most part. Stuck on a wall on SS7 costing me 15 seconds. Big push on the last stage to recover some time and still no idea how I got to the end. Some big moments!
Time to buy a lotto ticket me thinks!

Hmm... can't update the first post with the current rankings due to website being down. And would love to check how the competition went on there, sounds like a lot of close fights :D

I've not been able to take part yet. I've had far too much work to do, and haven't had time to do a proper event :( 
IRL before everything :)

And well... Greece, here I come/crash.

Meh, smooth sailing up til a VERY unusual mishap on Stage 6.. the car was just too heavy for my usual line in the final split, lost a little time. Annoyed.

Another mishap on 7 - got stuck on the 2 bump guard rail? How? Didnt have to use "Recover" option at least. X_X
At least i fixed it with stage 8 - 1 minute ahead of Ryu, wooo!

I should've done a small shakedown run on the Custom before attempting this. Evo brakes were like "ehh... nope". Completely useless. Crashed so much on the first 3 stages... like holy crap. On the last stage though... I spun at the LAST corner, which costed me about 20 seconds, as I got stuck on that rockthingieyamajicallit.

Oh well, there's still Sweden. This will be a close fight for the 1st place, shame it won't really count xD

So after I have not played seriously since release I really was out of rythm, horrible rally, so I decided to check if alt+f4 still works, in case anyone is wondering, yes it does.

SS1 and SS2 went well, was in 2nd place after snaky.

SS3-6 were nervewracking, trying to keep the car in shape and not crash but still going fast enough to keep Ryu behind. He was slowly but steadily gaining seconds on me... On SS6 he finally passed me by being 0.8 seconds faster on the stage.

On SS7 I felt a bit disheartened and gave away some more time, and on SS8 I had an off early on which cost me 15-17 seconds and put me off tempo. Just brought the car home.

Now it's time for the wait and see what my arch enemies bear and smurf will do ;-)

I need to sit this one out, testing the fix for Rally cross and the engineer bug. I got engineers!! :) so have an unfair advantage.

It's not so much a time thing, he's basically running the new client, so whilst he could take part, it would technically be cheating because he has fixes in place that will affect his results.

Blown tire after half of the first stage, subsequent crash. Yes, there was a stone I hit shortly after the start, but still sort of strange that it exploded two minutes later just like this. At least I didn't hear any warning. Retired shortly after.

Yes, you might say so. By the way, should we begin voting on next seasons theme? Or do our latest votes still count?

Same thing happened to me on Monte. Had some really small nudge, no inidcation that the tire was bad. Then all of a sudden it's on the rim.

On the one hand, it's annoying, but maybe not unrealistic. WRC drivers quite often claim that they don't know what was responsible for a puncture. Or that they thought the impact was too light to damage the tire.

Nah, last one counts still. Should be quite interesting.

Well, the state of the tire has to be taken into the account. If they have shredded the tire through aggressive driving, then it doesn't take much to get a puncture. Issue in the game is as simple as the tires don't degrade, so light impacts should not puncture them, unless it was a very precise impact into a very sharp object that is easily capable of piercing through the tire... things that don't really have a place on or near the road.

After two very quick 360 spins and some connection shenanigans later - yay I'm done. I prefer Sweden in the night, but, ah well.

Awful SS1, the rest were decent. Caution over speed, so lost a few seconds per stage to snaky.

Quick question. Should we start the new Season immediately after this "experimental" ends, or wait few days? I personally think we waited long enough, but better ask ;)

On the subject of Sweden... well, suffice to say that a certain snowbank was dead set against letting me go through, which resulted in me performing a move similar to this one:



Naturally "alt+f4" (well, in this case it was hit retire) followed shortly after. I suck hard when it comes to gravel/snow it seems.
