Subaru is weird always seems to shift into a really high gear on auto.
Have done i think four stages so far, so far only one other person has posted times but i dont think its going too well for them! 30 minute stage, what went wrong?

Was that me? I got to around stage 4 I think and had an amazing session before going off the cliff and the car becoming unrecoverable. So I'm assuming it gives me max time for the final stages?

I guess so i think only me and you had done times when i was on earlier, looks like you had a mare of a first stage as well about two minutes slower than me, but you were steadily creeping back up.

Joined the PS4 League tonight and finished the Greece event with a lead of a few minutes overall, few mistakes here and there but was fairly consistent.

Who are the owners/managers of the Xbox/PSN dirt Rally leagues? I have an interesting idea: You cannot have cross platform leagues. So why not set up the leagues exactly the same, and then we can post times. Might be worth having a new thread, if you're all up for it.

I have the Xbox league. I really do like that idea, makes it more interesting competing with more players.

Ok, the PC one has 3 weeks to go as it's just started. It might take that length of time to get everyone's names sorted and a list of stages and what not. PM'd.

I'll start a wiki article, see if we can get this off the ground!

There is always one untouchable driver and, it appears to be you on this occasion. I only came close to you on stage 3, by under a second (I was so pleased with myself, I even saved the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTs90-PFOks ) but, you were mostly WAY ahead!

Can we kick someone for being too fast?

Things didn't start well when on the second corner of the first stage, it became evident that the button I usually use for the handbrake had become the 'switch camera view' button - so, I just casually drove off the track

After that, things were going well, I was comfortably in 2nd by a good 25 seconds or so.....until the penultimate stage. I had a nightmare!! Had to recover the car early on and, the red mist descended - from then on, I was driving 100% balls to the wall (ie. like a tw@t) trying to make up the time and, as a result, lost it on two further occasions and finished in somewhere north of 8 minutes.

Strangely, racenet says that I am using assists and, I was certain I'd turned them all off. I'll have a look tonight, maybe I left ABS set to 1 or something. TC is definitely off, first thing I do on any driving game.

It was a cruel end to what was looking like a good session, which is why love this game, it is infuriatingly hard at times!

Nice driving there, I think I just capitalised on others mistakes by not getting any penalties at all but that shows our pace was fairly similar on that stage anyway!

I'll drive slower in the next event don't worry....

Yeah I went off the track on the first stage about 10times I'm an average driver, still getting used to a wheel and just setup my clutch pedal as the handbrake! So that's my excuses out the way. I'm now loving the clutch pedal as my handbrake so much easier than trying to find a button.

How does one take screenshots in the PC version?

Lost a rear wheel early on Stage 1, and never really recovered from that despite some reasonable later stages. Think I may end up last this week.

Default steam key, I think it's F11 or F12.

To take a good one, do it in the replay and remove the control buttons and play timer.

If anyone is interested in joining, you will probably need to add me on PSN to find the league via the game. My PSN username is 'Speckle', just sent me an invite with 'dirt rally' or similar in the message.

If enough people are interested, perhaps we could have regular weekend events or something.

I've joined the league, PSN name is badgerface1989

xRIEx, I've seen your time on stage 2, and must confess that I got a spark of excitement seeing a time that was up there to go up against.

I think I could enjoy this.

[xRIEx]

I'm half-wishing I'd gone for the Alpine after the first stage

[Speckle]

It looks as though I can apply penalties to anyone who is faster than me breaks the rules.

I'm starting to wonder if I should be allowed to wield all this power

It's a twitch bd, and no mistake. I had to have a few goes of that first stage before I could even keep it on the course.

[SturdyHSV]

Requested to join the PC league, goodness knows what my ID is, that whole thing is a mess

It probably has 'Sturdy' in it somewhere, as that's my name...
