Accepted. Will be interesting to see if you can join the league that's currently running?
I'm in there like swimwear 
Bit rusty but have done the first 2 stages, had a bit of an Austin Powers moment after a half spin in a narrow section on the second stage (after the don't cut
)Good fun though!

I'm half-wishing I'd gone for the Alpine after the first stage
It's a twitch b
d, and no mistake. I had to have a few goes of that first stage before I could even keep it on the course.Good job with the league wiki
I can see I'm going to have to put in loads of practice in all areas, or be content with sitting at the bottom!
@JamesRF - did you do a custom race with the same courses on PS4? I know the PS4 is currently racing a different league until we sync up.
Mind you, that's an idea: I've put the courses in and the time of day/weather, so if anyone wants to do those ones as a custom race to join in, we will just have to trust you
Then again, you won't have to deal with damage. Hmm. How to do it...
If we do this again, it will have to be on a google spreadsheet.

No I did the PS4 league and I've just realised its different to the PC one currently running, I'll remove my times.Is it not possible to get the same events running across the platforms sooner rather than later?

Yeh, I guess. I don't really want to kill the PC one, as people have posted times - however, if you can get Speckle to start a new league on PS4 using the same tracks, weather conditions, cars and engineers etc. (I've just posted them in the wiki) then we can all be on the the level. I think I might set up a google spreadsheet, as the wiki interface is really , really clunky Is it not possible to get the same events running across the platforms sooner rather than later?
I've posted screenshots of the events. So Now, if other platforms want to take part, they jsut copy them and post times! Don't know why I didn't htink of that before
@Speckle & @lel, remember classes and tuning restrictions etc!

I started having a proper go of this earlier today. It's very impressive. Great fun!
One thing that puzzles me, is there any way to use any car on Pikes Peak? I can only select that course on a Hillclimb event. That limits me me to just four cars (Group B derived and Loeb's Peugeot). It's amazing thing to drive so it'd seem a shame to limit it so.

Somebody asked the same question to the Production lead on twitter and he answered that this is because of licensing restrictions.

I gave this some time yesterday and, as above, it's a great game. Really enjoyed throwing the slower cars around the easier events, got a little over confident with the harder stuff!
Not sure it's as unforgiving as Richard Burns Rally but it's up there. Not had that much fun with a video game in ages!

I'm doing the professional championship in the Peugeot at the moment (which I think may have been the wrong car shoice!)
In a nutshell, Finland can fk right off!!

I played that the other day, in a jetlagged state, and it was double-hard! I couldn't believe how hard it was.
It's so narrow in parts, and spits you all over the place.

I think you're thinking of Sweden, with big snow banks either side of the track. Yeah, that is hard but, great fun when you get it right I played that the other day, in a jetlagged state, and it was double-hard! I couldn't believe how hard it was.

Finland is generally sunny but the stages undulate to a ridiculous degree! You spend 30% of each stage airborne!!

Wait a second, you PC guys have got retries and event restarts enabled?! That just takes all the infuriating fun out of it. Mistakes should cost you dearly and have you swearing at the TV http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
If this cross platform idea is going to work, we all need to set things up the same, surely.
I will set up the Finland event for next week later today
No retries, no restarts obviously

Yeh, cos we've got a few ppl who've only just bought it, I figured ease it in slowly. Next one will be no restarts If this cross platform idea is going to work, we all need to set things up the same, surely.

When does your current one end? Could you set up the same season in parallel?
Don't worry I'll manage to smash my car up no matter how many restarts I have...
Started the career mode a couple nights ago, starting off with with the Autocross. Only using the keyboard at the moment but christ it was hard
nearly last the first race and somehow managed to get my Clio into 2nd place in the second race. Tempted to restart the career mode with the Corsa instead, so I don't feel bad thrashing the fk out of it
Pity you can't use an "autocross" car for rallies/hillclimbs and the like, can't see how licensing restrictions would prevent that...?

Doesn't look like it. I just tried to set up the current season and also Finland for next week. It told me that the dates overlap with the current season and didn't save them.When does your current one end? Could you set up the same season in parallel?
The current one runs until next Tuesday and, I can't see any way of changing the dates. So, Finland will have to run from next Tuesday for us

Ah yes, you can't run them concurrently, In fact, you need to leave at least 30 minutes between each one starting and ending.The current one runs until next Tuesday and, I can't see any way of changing the dates. So, Finland will have to run from next Tuesday for us
Well, I think that I set up Finland & Germany to run from next Tuesday and have then copied the dates from your existing ones.
BUT, when I clicked finish, it took me back to the Codemasters Dirt homepage and, unless I am being a total retard (which is perfectly possible), I cannot get back to the racneet leagues.
