Quoting: drhoodHello,

I just want to thank the organizer of this tournament and fellow drivers who participate. It is a blast racing with you all.

Race Summary (Germany)
Was my best performance at Germany, and probably my best series of stages in Dirt Rally ever. All six (6) were clean (i.e., the car and four wheels stayed on the road ~98% of the time). I am slowly improving at Dirt Rally, takes practice and patience.

Looking forward to the final two locations!

thanks, will try to keep this game alive cause its really something different than most racing games :) too bad codemasters seem to have abandoned this game, i was hoping for DLC's of new tracks and 2017 spec cars etc, but seems it doesnt happen. Though this game is more successful than Dirt4, so theres hope for Dirt Rally 2.

Quoting: tuubiDid my run early for once. I kept pushing a bit too hard and that did lead to some small and slightly bigger mistakes, including a penalty. I expect I won't be anywhere close to winning in Wales, but I'll pat myself on the back if I end up less than a minute from the top. ;)

bit under 26 min overall seems like yeah maybe a minute more than some might drive when no mistakes happen :)

Oh, a few new stages would be nice. I'd pay a few euros for those. New cars would be great too, but I don't really care if they're modern or classic. Although I don't know how they'd fit either new cars or locations into anything but custom events and leagues.

An actual sequel would be even better of course.

UK done. Tried to drive carefully with no mistakes and i achieved that, but couldn't match the speed of muell like that. Second stage was the worst i think, no mistakes but i took it too cautiously i guess, lost 17 sec there or muell just made a incredible time there. after that i tried to push just tiny bit more and matched muell within few sec, but yeah if i had driven any faster i would have had lots of mistakes.

S1-S6:Clean

I was way over a minute slower than Muell. No back-pats for me.

But hey, seems like I was a couple of seconds faster than either of you on the fifth stage? :O For once I'm sad I didn't record my run.

yeah about 2 seconds faster than muell and i was about 0.3 sec slower than muell there.

amazing how good muell was driving there :D if i pushed any harder i would have crashed a lot probably.

I was just a few seconds faster on stage 2 which was the first stage in reverse. Overall it went pretty well. No major crashes and apparently the speed was good, too.

Forgot to write here about the two previous events.

Sweden was pretty good this time around. I found a configuration which actually makes Sweden enjoyable but on the 2nd stage I parked the car on a snowbank for at least 15s and lost the flow. Could have been pretty close if it wasn't for that fuck up.

Germany on the other hand was fine but not that great. Setting the gears all the way to far probably wasn't the best idea and might have cost me the few seconds to the first place.

Anyway, I'm preparing for the next group b season with the Peugeot 205. Found a setup that works pretty well but I'm sill having problems being consistent on tarmac and ice/snow but it's getting better.

iirc your first stage was 6.12 and second one was 6.04, i did both 6.18 pretty much :D

that was some amazing drive from you! Looking forward to Greece :)

I made some strides in my driving ability at Wales; however, I struggle in achieving consistency. Nevertheless, I find Wales fun because it is a challenge for me.

Stage 1: one crash
Stage 2: clean
Stage 3: clean
Stage 4: two crashes
Stage 5: clean
Stage 6: one crash

First post updated, Last race of the season started!

Obligatory: Greece went okay. A rather harsh crash into a tree but fortunately I could simply reverse out of it. Otherwise smaller mistakes and one or two close ones.

Congrats Xpander for winning this season!

This was fun. Thanks everyone for taking part in it!

Argh! Had an awesome first stage. Then on the second, I did a huge flying crash into a tree with a wheel literally flying off, and the game decided it was too ridiculous and crashed as well. I mean the game has been totally stable for ages, I have no idea what happened...

I think I can still restart but I'll have to redo the first stage as well. No way am I going to manage another "perfect" run. :(

Was feeling pretty good about myself before starting the final stage of the season, despite 2 flat tires, and 3 or 4 instances of having to use my reverse.

So naturally my subconscious decided to move too far out of the "safe driving" range, and on the last stage I was on the rim before I was halfway through. I refuse to fix a broken wheel though, I lost less than a minute to the missing wheel I think.

Despite some horrible driving on a couple of events a few weeks back, overall a good season for me :D

The second stage never happened and this was my best Greece performance ever. :'(

Congrats Xpander. Greece didn't go well for me. Seem to be going backwards with this game lately.

Haven,t found time to do my Greece yet, too much DXVK/wine stuff lately and general lack of time. Will try to do later today or on sunday.

What people think about the Full/longer season so far? Lets do another one but with different class?
I was thinking maybe Group A or Group B, Thoughts?

I think I preferred the shorter seasons. Simply because then you're not stuck with a class you're not fond of for as long. I don't know if the long season added anything to the experience.

To mix things up a bit, how about a special season where we drive a different car class in all the events, going through them all one by one? :) Events should have a couple of stages from three different random countries to make it even less predictable.

Can probably try something like that, but you have to remember that the website for creating them is really crap, and if you stay more than 10 minute to configure the season it will log you out and once you hit apply it will fail and you have to start all over.. its really crappy :(

the reason i liked longer season, so i dont have to touch this crappy event configurator that often :)

What others think though

That does sound crappy. :(

I'm fine with anything you come up with.

Will you be running another season after this? If so I may pick this up on humbla as its going cheap.

yes, thats the plan. I still like the game and like to have some sort of season going on :)
