DiRTy Forumers League

Personally I would really prefer the suite of standard engineers.
1) it's not the crew chief only like we had (bug)
2) we don't get money for these races and I don't want to pay for them.

I'm sorry that so many people have too much money and all the cars, but not everyone is that well to do.
I have two good engineers and two ok ish engineers, mainly due to how much per stage they cost Vs the amount you win per stage.

Just checked the season, I'm quite liking it :) (you configured it quite similar to the first DRC-Season, the location lineup and duration of events is exactly the same) I will participate in this one. Will be interesting to race in two different legues with two different cars, but on the same locations during the same timeframes.  

Well, this means i got to setup a Grp B car now.... hmmm... quattro or RS200.....difficult

I'd say you configured yours similarly to this league ;) This is configured exactly the same as the 2nd season, with the exception of Sweden which was put back due to "learning" process. But all other events were setup according to the WRC calendar. Naturally, the theme of the previous season made it so I couldn't play with realistic condition changes, due to the fact it was all to make it as hard as possible to drive those easy cars ;) But no such thing here, so I made sure the weather and time of the day was changing in a realistic way, to make it as immersive and enjoyable as possible.

This league was made according to feedback from you guys. Check the first page of this thread, all the rules are there for a long time now.

You don't pay for engineers in League races. Or rather, their contracts don't degrade. It's really simple to earn IGC, just do RX or Hillclimb championship at Master level. It's easy and takes almost no stages from your contracts.  Do few of those runs and you'll be running at millions.


And I would've forgot. @SkiddyMcCrash could you check the season and tell me if I should hide in my anti-nuclear bunker again? xD

Nice choice of cars, but oh so hard to choose. That five cylinder sounds is rather alluring though.

Well, first 3 stages were great, then came the night one and I got a spin which took about 15s to get out of it. No biggie, I just kept on going with most of the stages being pretty darn clean. Then the last one came... needles to say, I spun few times and got the 15s penalty... twice... on the same hairpin... don't ask me how, I don't want to remember that.

Regardless, I still managed to get below 40 minutes for the whole thing, so that's nice :D

Got to the end - had a puncture on the first stage and almost fell off on the 3rd stage - lost about 40 seconds because of those two. The last stage was the most difficult (slippery as hell), but the Audi served me well and we managed to get to the finish line.

Yeah, last stage was so slippery I was like "WTH is going on? o.O". If only I had been more careful... would've been about 5 seconds ahead of you xD

Oh well, next tim... !#$%. Sweden. Welp, I'm dead xD

Welcome to the club. Right long before left hairpin near wall.

Generally terrible event for me. First stage, first left hairpin - stopped and touched the magic yellow tape that gives you penalties at 2km/h. Few kms later a rear left puncture due to scratching a wall. Just before the finish - a roll due to cutting a snow bank too much, no fans to help - 15s again.

The rest was just trying to drive clean, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.

Last stage when I wanted to push a little bit at the ice sections which I've really felt good with MG - unfortunately out cause of unrecoverable car.

Went for the fast and clean approach - I chose the Quattro because... well, noise. My only mistakes were misshifts and a couple of boops into snowbanks. Final stage was surprisingly slippery, so happy to finish & happy with my driving, keeping my concentration up for 8 stages in a row was a relief. :P I didn't have any Monaco setup so I was like "oh..." and went with my Germany setup. Worked very well, even on the slippery bits.

Okay, it's going to be ugly, but I will try the Ford RS 200. Too many Quattros out there and the 6R4 and 037 scare me to death. I really hope I can at least beat Snaky in the Manta. Anything more... Won't happen.

If you don't beat my Manta, you will make the old Opel jokes obsolete and i don't want that.

like "How to make an Opel faster than an Audi? - Push it off a cliff."

Please read the rules on the first page ;)

And wow. Even after Porky did his runs, I still have the fastest 3rd and 5th stages times. Now that's what I call an achievement :D

That joke reminds me the beetle jokes, like "How to improve a beetle? - Drop it off a cliff." xD
