Finland is a tricky rally, it envites you to go flat out everywhere, which normally ends in disaster!

It seems that i'm the current leader of the cross platform too, wasn't expecting that!

It is a tricky bd, you seen to spend half the time in the air, if you don't line up your jumps correctly you'll end up going head first into a sign or tree, and you need to listen carefully for the occasional 'left','right' instructions from your co-driver in between the gazillion 'over crest, under crest, dip, big jump, over jump, tiggers bouncy bouncy bouncy!' commands he keeps barking out...

It's a miracle I finished in one piece tbh, so I'm happy smile

Very true, it's not my favourite rally tbh. But you have to listen to the co-driver notes carefully and line the car up accordingly. it's a good feeling when you get the car sideways off a crest at the perfect angle so that you land pretty much into the following corner!

Click on update and paste your time in. You get your time from the league page at dirtgame.com.
I've have a look but can't work out how you get the stage times? I can only see overall ?

Not at all! All fun and games biggrin

Good times there, I can live with 16 seconds, just means it's going to be a close league - excellent!

PH XKR .500 between us after stage 1 looking at the other timings I'd say we're similar if I can keep it on the track!

No doubt, did that a couple times but was more luck tbh, had a few heart stopping moments when I'd starting rotating (often on the straights or the wrong way into a corner) coming off the jumps eek

Can anybody help, i can't access racenet properly from in game. I've registered on racenet, logged in using steam account, launch game from racenet...

It either tells me I'm not registered on racenet, do i want to go to the website, or it says racenet is not available. Any ideas?

Have added my overall time - can't get my stage splits up at the mo.

Couple of stages were ok, couple were all over the shop - have found that the event organisers put signs in the stupidest places...

Well I thought I'd hit rock bottom before the 5th stage:



But I was clearly being optimistic. That was an appalling rally. Gutted that I didn't get 'Spirit of the rally' if I'm honest!

Well I've added my times now!

Had 2 big offs in both of the night stages which cost me around 8secs each I reckon but I'm pretty happy with 2nd overall!
