God dammit, that means the the Finnish squirrels will have longer to procreate and make more squirrels. It'll be a craschfest.

Sorry for that. Being utter crap in Finland, I promise I will try my best to distract them, so all of you may have a clean run.

WELCOME TO LATVIA

:D That's one thing i did not miss about this place.

[RyuMakkuro 6]

Well... I'll just make it quick. Make sure not a single part drops below 30-40%, cause it may result in you being stuck with it at 0% to the very end. There's a bug that just keeps on setting those parts to 0% regardless of how much you fixed it and how well you've driven.

Also... my 2nd service station looked like this:



Yeah, I screwed up Monte Carlo a lot.

I knew it! That happened to me last monthly. My exhaust was down to 0% at every service, even when extremely careful.

Expected nothing less - severe amounts of damage on the penultimate stage, supposedly my "favourite" ... :/ Retired 5 corners into the final stage.

Dat time though :D

[Dytut 89]

Monte done without going off a cliff :-D

Went quite OK for being me, could almost but not quite keep up with @RyuMakkuro. SS2 was my blargh stage, managed to touch the mountain a bit with my left rear and got a puncture, so lost 30 seconds and a lof of confidence there :-/ @Snaky115 would've beaten me by a few seconds if not for your retirement

[RyuMakkuro 6]

I was dead certain that because I lost way over 1 minute due to spin on 3rd stage, puncture on 4th and broken car throughout the last stages, I would not win it by no means... yet I managed to reclaim the lead on the 7th stage already...

I sure would love to be so fast on the other locations xD

[YoMrWhite 11]

I'm not yet comfortable with the Focus, as I tend to overdrive it. Lots of contact with barriers and roughly 50% of my hairpins were less than perfect. Considering this, the event was not too bad, apart from one wtf-moment in SS5, when I got an instant reset. Still don't know why. The invisible man, maybe?

[Dytut 89]

Do you have spectators on low? When you reduce specatators they sometimes disappear, but the reset zone is still there.

[Snaky115 18]

I sometimes run Off, sometimes Med or High quality spectators. Sadly the reset spots stay there with spectators off. :D 
I'll see what the rest of the league drops on me, mostly Sweden. Not too worried about any others.

No, I have everything on high or ultra. It was on of those wooden barriers. I touched it lightly and broke it, but without going off or hitting a spectator. At least I didn't see one. And bang, there are your 15 seconds. Enjoy!

Well, I haven't been playing much lately so I had some rust to shake off going into this event. I started to get a feel for it towards the end, but I started off with some pretty much unrecoverable time losses, so I'm down at the bottom as usual. Also, I forgot we had career engineers on - due to recent accidental deletion of my career, my current crew consists of a guy with a hammer and some duct tape. Looks like I'll be playing it extra safe this season.  :D

I've broken my pc whilst replacing the graphics card. Should hopefully have it back up and running by mid week.

How's that even possible? You threw the GPU into the PC or changed it while it was still running? xD Or maybe Clarkson method?

[Evilsmurf 90]

I caught a capacitor while undoing the retaining clip and it popped off the motherboard .

Welp, that's unlucky.

I still need a new GPU. I can't wait to get back to DR; RBR kinda satisfied me for a little bit but it got repetitive and every time I tried to use my Fabia it crashed. Damn game is TOO hard to mod.

[Snaky115 18]

Well, that should be driven clean enough - i even put calm acoustic music in the background to convince myself to avoid time loss to crashing :D Probably lost all the time due to just being slow instead. =D

Still a little bit too fast for me. Although only 19 seconds behind you has to be something of a dream result for me. Could have been even better, because I had three spins in the last stage alone, while trying to mount one last attack. And I kept kissing the snowbanks regularly, because I couldn't cure the Focus' understeer.

[Dytut 89]

Soooo... I'm not sure what you were doing on SS1-4, but I had opened up a 52 second lead after them and I didn't feel like I was pushing.
After that you were getting even times on SS5-8, and I lost a few seconds on SS8 due to lost concentration.

Well, given that me and Snaky don't have a nice steering wheel to use... this is what we did xD



Also snowbanks. Many, many, many snowbanks.

[Snaky115 18]

Yeeeaaah thats one way to separate the Wheel vs Rest crowd - Sweden and GODDAMNVQ)(#%$^HTNOQEVUH SNOWBAAAAANKS
