Dirt Rally.. looks promising!

[wst]

I wish cross-platform leagues were possible. Took a lot of faffing about to figure out my position at the end there. I think I shall upload one of my good (non-crashy) runs for you to compare with how you drive Jay

This has instructions for recording up to 5 minutes... so no good for a long stage without some more practise

http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/apps/upload...

I just had to faff about briefly with Plays.tv to stitch the video together... no option for "upload between this bookmark and this bookmark", only "make a 30 second clip after this bookmark. Luckily it seamlessly joins the clips together, I just had to make a lot of bookmarks >_<

It's not finished uploading but hopefully this, my 2nd attempt at uploading a video of this run, actually works... when it's done processing

How do you record the stage ? i will do same stage in same car and record it but not sure how. Also on sweden in 4wd i put the power split 50/50 to try and help a bit.

Being honest you were only 9 seconds behind me on first stage this week and 14 after 2, so not that far off as long has you have no moments lol

There were a couple of moments on the stage for sure but, I finished it feeling like it was pretty clean and fast.

On PS4 it is dead easy as there it is always recording a buffer of 15 mins game footage so, you can choose to save the last 15 mins at any point. Then you trim it to cut out the superfluous menus etc. and upload to youtube direct from the console. No idea if Xbone has a similar setup though.

You'll destroy me in Greece - I fully expect to drive off a cliff

[JamesRF]

Haven't even had a chance to do this one yet as I've been working away in Bristol all week, best get cracking on it later!

Speckle, I never figured out how to record on PS4 is it really that simple?

Yup, once you've linked your PS4 to your youtube account, it really is that simple

[wst]

It's weird thinking back to Dirt 3's obnoxious "DUUUUDE upload that on youtuuuuube!" convenience with "well... that would be darn useful right about now".

[JamesRF]

And I thought my last rally went badly?

Monumental crash early on stage 1 did some major damage which I had to manage to the end. Must have had about 7/8 recoveries all together and only had 2 clean stages. Literally only playing the game for this league now and just jumping straight into it with no practice is causing some silly errors

Nearly 3 mins off the pace, it sure feels like a long time ago since I was up there battling for the lead

Wales is seriously fun though

Nice clean run that, i do find it tricky keeping a rwd in a straight line in wales, if i can work it out i will record a run on next weks league in greece, one of the short ones

Blimey, thought you'd have been challenging for first on this one, i only play once a week now for the league but i always have 1 practice stage first just to get me back into it. you must have had a mare on s1 to be 30 seconds down after 1 stage. oh well better luck on next 1, Although greece is my favorite

Yeah should really warm up first, feel like I'm getting rustier with every rally now. Pushing hard straight away wasn't a good idea, and then once you know you're already way down you push even harder to make up time. And with a half broken car that made things even worse!

First 6 stages completed of the monthly event.... praying I make it to the end this time

[Jon_Bmw]

Had a very good first 3 stages, with only 1 recovery and built a 20ish second lead, 2 recoveries on stage 4, 4 recoveries on a shocking stage 5. No headlights on last 2/3rds of the last stage dropping around 45 seconds after the wife popped in and said "can you just..." ARGG!

I have the speed in Wales with the RWD, just lacking (A LOT of) finesse!

[xRIEx]

fking shocking. That is all.

[Polarbert]

Just got this on Xbone. Whenever the on screen keyboard appears the game locks up. It still plays the music and anything in the background but I can't select any letters or anything. Has anyone had a similar issue?

[Tonsko]

Ok! I've *finally* got around to updating the spreadsheet. If I'm honest, besides not having an amazing amount of time, it was filling me with horror. Also, my spare gaming time has been sucked up by Overwatch...

Join the discord server if you can, it's better with more folk, plus a faster way of communicating. For those luddites, it's basically an online chat/voice program, private and moderated by me, although if Haymarket want it, they can have it, but I suspect they're not that bothered. Just click this link here and it will open in a browser, or you can install the client if you wish. https://discord.gg/0116wwb5fn9WiHhty

For this reason I have ditched the mid-season leaderboard, as that was the tedious bit, and have just got an overall one. This is much easier, coupled with the long term record of the times on the wiki to provide error/sanity checking. Please check the numbers, make sure they are correct, and that I haven't diddled anyone with points. wst is now on the board, and with some respectable points for a single event, although it's already fairly clear who will be in the top 3 :P. No prizes for guessing who...

Remember it will be the best 4 out of 5 events for the final standings.

Sorry for the wait everyone, bit slack I know

Edit: Sorry polarbert, not heard of that.

I don't have a "Total" points

Only had one reset so far in the first 4 stages. Trying to avoid the really high revs for now... I feel the front end gets wayward a bit too easily when in the power band. Staying at... maybe 9,000 rpm? I'm don't look... and using left foot braking to kill any understeer seems to be the trick.

Weirdly I can't see anyone else's times in the Xbox and PS4 leagues (even following the links from the wiki) so I'm guessing Racenet has been struggling.

Edit: turbojay, for comparison, here's my first stage: http://plays.tv/video/575815e8936b762b39/fourk-ta-...

Edit 2: Had a cracking 6th stage but for a couple of minor bumps and getting a bit too enthusiastic changing down gears (leaving me revving in neutral for a few seconds!) : http://plays.tv/video/57584de51749e846ae/perasma-p...

Really enjoying these cars for the first time ever.

I'll look into getting a Mic for voice comms...

Good run on first stage, very close, been trying to upload mine but youtube crashes at 50% upload.

Not sure if this will work but give it a go.

Not very good quality video for some reason.
