Had to do this event in two sittings. I did the first four stages yesterday night, barely awake, with a couple of penalties and lots of spins. And then the crappy mobile connection I'm using in my new apartment gave out. I just finished the last two and they went a bit better. Finished with a stylish penalty and a puncture in the last corner of the last stage of course.

EDIT: Please allow saving and quitting after every stage.

Can't edit current season, so I try to keep in mind for the next. However if your game crashes or you loose connection you will be able to resume from last checkpoint

Almost had a good-ish run through those, except for losing a tire (twice) on the third stage. Fixed the first one, losing me 1:30, but still almost made it in under 25 minutes. Seems I was the first one through, so no one to compare to yesterday, but still less than the lost wheel behind the leader after a few more drivers.

Summary: less disasters than a regular Finland run :D

Had a pretty good run in Monaco as well, until I (once again) lost a wheel on the last stage. Managed to just about finish in first after all, so come get me :D

Well done :)

Anyone know what the crown icon next to me and DeeVee's flags symbolise?

I'll have to plan my driving to manage to get in all the stages between my travelling the next week I see.

That means you bought the game when it was in Early Access. Before the Linux release as well as before Windows version official release

Aha! Yes, I've been found out, I have a Windows machine as well :)

In the Germany event, I once again (I'm seeing a pattern) lost a wheel. Don't think I lost more than 30 seconds on it though. But I seem to have something against my co-driver, as I slammed my car side into something hard a few times, every time in a left turn. He must have had a heart attack :p

Germany done. It was terrible.

1st stage: clean
2nd stage: Adventures on the grass with spin + 15 sec penalty for driving into people
3rd stage: Adventures on the grass with 2 spins
4th stage: clean
5th stage; Adventures on the grass with spin + crash into the stone blocks with reversing needed
6th stage: clean

i do not enjoy tarmac races :D

Germany went worse than usual for me. Might have something to do with a certain 10-year-old extra co-driver who did his best to "help". I actually had to take the fifth stage twice because he managed to quit the game somehow by fiddling with the keyboard. :D

haha that is weird.

Sigz didn't participate this time it seems :( he would have won, i'm quite sure, he is the tarmac expert.
Sterky and Kallestoffeles also failed to participate.

First post update.
