Everything went well, except of the 5th stage with the race overnight. I've lost my lights after the first 500 metres, luckily for me it was full moon, so I could navigate a little bit with the reflection on the road and between the trees. :D

I did well on about half of the Greece stages, and made a mess of the rest. I guess I got overconfident with the (so far) fastest time on the night stage, as the sixth one I barely survived. The poor Hyundai looked like a smoking raisin when I started the last stage.

Welcome back to the league Ki! I see the new PC really helped. :)

Greece done by me
Pretty bad one for me again, lots of mistakes. some tracks felt really good and got me into the rythm, but as soon as i made small mistake it was out of the rythm and lots of small errors.

S1: small crash into the rocks
S2: roll on the fast straight with the trip into the field
S3: clean but really careful driving
S4: clean
S5: spin in a narrow place, but overall that stage was super fast from me
S6: clean (really loved the flow of the corners on this one, super fast)
S7: another crash roll on the fast straight

But now you can hug as many trees as you (don't) want! Haha.

Btw, I really wanted to get over Finland since I am currently doing championship in a 60s car, and the monthly and weekly in 80s. Totally different beasts and I really dislike the modern cars. When I was younger the Group A cars were the kings and the WRC cars just introduced in my country's national championship, I loved them even though the less powerful cars provided the entertainment.
I enjoy modern cars also because of the corner speed is insane.. acceleration is not that good though. i wish there were 2017 spec wrc cars in this game :D

but group B and Group A are fun as well as super old ones like 1970s. i think after this season we will return to group B again

Did Finland the other day, have definitely had worse before :)

First stage felt really good, no crashes at all, but somehow I still had enough trouble to not be able to fix up my car completely. This became a problem in the next stages when I started crashing into things now and then.

End result:
3 resets, 2 of them for hitting people
2 lost wheels

edit: I also have my new monster PC build completed at last! No gaming for a few days now, but sometime next week I look forward to trying Dirt Rally in 21:9 :D

Happy with the result, not so much with my driving. One or two crashes on every stage, lost a wheel on two of them. Luckily both were quite close to the finish line. I also did a beautiful flying crash into a pole on the second stage that would have destroyed a real car, but I drove away with a leaking radiator and a slightly damaged engine.

Quoting: chancho_zombieDriving without tires must be the most annoying thing in the game.
Well it's pretty annoying in real life as well. Guess we need to stop blowing them out. :P

Today was the day for highlighting some funky collision physics. Three times I went into a pole with front left corner. And every time it stopped dead in its tracks without rotating and destroying the radiator. Which is annoying because that takes ages to repair, leaving everything else broken. What I drove across the finish was not exactly car shaped any more. :S:

Same thing for me even the engine was almost giving up in the last stage.

I almost wasn't able to participate this time because of some annoying issues with steam cloud synchronization and race net connection, I have no idea of why but lately all my games are having difficulties to synchronize with steam and connect with theirs servers.

Website was down yesterday as well. I did manage to do the league, but I had to wade through a number of errors first.
Redface 10 Oct 2017
Still down, and I tried several times. The daily worked though, and yesterday too.
Xpander 11 Oct 2017
Yeah, website is back finally.

First post updated.

Event is ongoing. Germany until sunday evening UTC

Germany done by me also. I'm really bad on tarmac, first 4 stages i tried to drive on the limit, lots of mistakes. last 3 i took more carefully, without insane pushing.

here's the summary:

S1: spin
S2: 3 spins, 1 with reverse needed
S3: small half-spin
S4: crash into stones, spin, adventures on grassfields;
S5: clean
S6: clean
S7: clean

So, Skully beat me by 1 and half seconds :D
