First post updated

Greece is up for a challenge!

Happy new year!
Xpander Jan 2, 2018
Ok, had lots of problems with my frontpanel USB connector, wheel got disconnected 3 times, had to do the third and fourth stage 2 times because it disconnected in the middle of the 4th stage
2 times it disconnected on the first stage... i canceled video recording after the disconnection after 4th stage so theres no footage, i didnt feel like having 2 videos and then edit them later

Greece summary time:

S1: Crash into the ditch, spin
S2: Spin with reverse
S3: Spin with reverse (this was my fav stage, i was flying like crazy)
S4: Clean
S5: Clean
S6: Went into ditch, tried to get out, got +11s penalty, lost around 20 sec at least there.

@Xpander, Wow all that and you still beat me. I had all clean runs with no problems. Damn you must of been flying! Nice job.

And a challenge Greece was! I managed to fly off into oblivion twice in the first stage! Passable driving in the rest of the stages though, the game even claiming I got best time in the last stage, something I have trouble believing. Overall satisfying event.

you were faster than me about 5 sec on the last one, but skully was 12 sec faster than me, so that is odd indeed. maybe it shows the difference to the leading driver

I checked the totals between run 5 and 6 on the web page, and it seems you must be right, I closed the gap to you by 5 seconds, but skully closed a bigger gap. I don't remember if the difference it showed me after the race was 5 seconds, but it was about that kind of number.

Really not a fan of Group A now that I was driving the Peugeot 205 for a while. Had to use the Lancia Integrale in career mode a little bit to unlock the upgrades. Still only got 2/3. But I like Greece, so here we are now…

Crashed on stage 3 doing a barrel roll. Fortunately I didn't fall off a cliff or puncture a tire. Other stages went fine with small mistakes like always. Got in a few seconds after Xpander all the time and went into the last stage with +12s and was surprised when I got the lead with -7s. So the estimate of 20s lost with that crash seems accurate.

Next up is Wales which I also like so I'll try to be there. Might even try to get the damn 3rd upgrade.

wait wait, you need upgrades for the car? ohh god :D i don't have any. i thought that if we dont use career vehicles those don't matter anyway.

but yeah, my last stage was my doom :)

The way we are playing has us driving fully upgraded version of all cars. Because we aren't using career vehicles.

Huh, interesting. Well, at least I got some experience with a group a vehicle now ;)
