Hey GOL friends!

Tuubi contacted me and had an idea to run a Dirt Rally League just for FUN! RWD madness, 4wd n00binezz, everyone's welcome!

For those who are interested, request entry for the league on RaceNet: GOL_4FUN

The events shall be made for Next week and the week after that, all depending on how many people and how fast we get together. :P

Everyone in the community who owns Dirt Rally is obligated to join. Have fun dammit!

Also everyone who hasn't tried Dirt Rally yet should be doing it right now. It's the best rally sim ever, hands down.

Quoting: GuestThis is a great idea!
Just need to learn how to drive better in games... and maybe own it!

Hope to see some Videos of this
I'll probably Stream my attempts at the League of Fun. :P

As is apparent from the warmup event, I do suck balls. Still fun to drive along and be dead last.

You could say that "sucking" is the main event here. :D

You have no right to talk about suckage you damn racing nerd. :><: Yeah I just watched the recording of your run. Spinning that Stratos like you actually knew what you're doing. Scandinavian flicks and all. Did I already remember to call you a racing nerd? :P

You even fiddled with the car setup! That's almost cheating! What's the fun in driving a rear wheel drive rally car if it's not trying to murder you in every corner.

I'll do my run after work, and I'm confident in my ability to suck spectacularly. Especially the Swedish stages are my bane. I'll spend at least half a minute stuck on a snow bank, I promise.
Kallestofeles 13 May 2017
Mwbahahahaha!
It was not me, it was all the old Logitech G27's fault!!!

The last Swedish stage is a killer... what's worse than having a Stratos? Having a Stratos in a narrow snow-filled track during the night with a spectacular snowstorm. :D

Completed also.

2 rolls down the hills with reset needed and +15 sek penalty added for each, 3 spins also overall.
pretty much first time to try RWD cars in dirt rally :) well i have tried before also for 1 stage or 2, but mostly driving with 4WD :)

it was quite fun. waiting for the real events!

I sent a request to join the league :) my RaceNet id is same as here (Frank Drebin).
Kallestofeles 13 May 2017
Approved Frank and manero666.
Looks like the interest for a League is definitely there. Currently we have a pre-season event going on just to have something to do. The real season with multiple events will start late Monday evening. :)

Thanks for the add!

This game is amazing! Hopefully I'll buy it soon so that I'll be enjoying more of these events :)

I... I have an embarrassing confession to make. I actually failed to fail. Yes I know I promised to, but for some reason I drove better than ever and finished third, less than two seconds behind Kallestofeles. And this is with my thrice fixed and duct-tape-enhanced cheap Logitech gamepad.

Okay done gloating, sorry about that. I solemnly promise to feel appropriately penitent very soon.
Kallestofeles 13 May 2017
Yeah, no so much suckage as was expected. Shame on you Tuubi!!!

Ehhh, with the real event, I'll just go and have fun and not try to go for the time. :P
Xpander 13 May 2017
for me the fun is when i can constantly improve and not to crash. find the best ways to go through the corners..thats the fun for me :)

so, i'd say even my time was suckage. 1 minute less would of been fine :)
i made lots of mistakes and was too cautious in places.

can't wait for the real event!

Thanks for the add, not so bad as expected, especially at the snow stage that I usually fight the car instead of driving it.
Xpander 14 May 2017
it seems the snowy stage was the place where i gained the most over you guys.
i like to use those snowbanks with the rear of the car.. but its risky.. a bit too much and it will suck your front into it :)
