Practice? What`s practice? I just take to the stage and go for it.

Then again, with all my DNFs maybe I should start to practice.

Done. Went off right at the end of stage 2 down the hill didn't get recovered, then overcooked it at a hairpin later on in the loop and hit one of those invisible spectators furious

Time to get some actual miles on Pikes Peak haha

Had a peek at the times.

It's close, much closer than Wales!

I'm guessing the other Xbox participants had an interesting last stage...I was about 1m30 behind the two leaders going in to the last stage and somehow came out on top according to Racenet?!

Have not driven Pikes Peak once since getting the game so this could be challenging...

Arm full's of opposite lock everywhere. Almost a clean run until the last stage, had a couple of spins. Enjoy Greece and lots of fun in the R5.

Unlucky. This is precisely why I try not to look too closely at the times! biggrin
Don't worry, by my calculations we're tied on 12 points apiece overall. How're you at Pikes Peak? hehe

Gentlemen, (and ladies)

With Tonsko being away until tomorrow I somewhat stupidly volunteered myself to update the league table, which I have now done. Tonsko, you have the patience of a saint dealing with both Racenet and the PH Wiki markup!

There's a few position changes - most notably jimbobthebear is shooting up the rankings with a 3rd place finish last time out.

Speckle - Two events left. I have somewhat unintentionally, and for no good reason other than we're closely matched (now that you're VR-hampered anyway hehe ) made you my target to beat. This may mean I now bin it on Pikes Peak. If that happens it's also your fault. laugh

Pikes Peak, an event I`ve maybe started six times. And finished only twice, so it`s not looking god for me.

Although given how you just beat me in Greece on the final stage, I preferred you having a DNF in Wales...

st, I've just remembered. Quikcurl told me about a mistake. I need to demote myself. Again.
Tut, naughty Tonsko didn't fix it. biggrin

In his defence, the system on both Racenet, and PH Wiki is st.

Should be fixed now I think. If anyone else spots something amiss; do shout about it!

So, this event will run as normal, then after the last event we all get to drop a result, which may shuffle things 'round a bit in the leaderboard.

After that, the season is done until some kind (mad) soul volunteers to run another one!

Dirt 4 is on the horizon though, which should have a much better system, with cross platform support, and hopefully a website that actually works. All the time. Maybe.

Well, I have some rather excellent news for you. My Vive, my wheel and my PC are now safely boxed and packed away in anticipation of my new floor being fitted next week! So, as long as you can manage to finish either this week or next week's stages in one piece, victory will be yours! thumbup

ps. Only time I ever drove Pikes Peak was for this league last year. Never before and never since so, I would definitely have sucked!! hehe

I had a decent lead over you at one point which is annoying - think I took it too easy in the final stages to make sure I didn't go off the road which was my downfall.

Don't expect much of a close battle on this one - Pikes Peak is far from my favourite, especially with a stage in the wet...

Well, on the one hand that is excellent news. On the other I was looking forward to the challenge!
Ah well, I'll have to go after Sheetmaself then. He's only 5 points ahead of me. How hard can it be? hehe

Pikes Peak done.

That wet tarmac is a nightmare!

There`s no need for anyone to worry about hitting spectators as they`re all dead. I killed them.

I slid into the tress more times than I can remember.

There`s plenty of grip on the loose though so there`s opportunity to make some time up there.
