I had similar luck: second stage (I think, first night one) I smacked my headlights within the first couple of bends and hard to carry on in the dark, stuck myself on rocks a couple of times on the third and ttted some spectators on the fifth.

Yep that first night stage was a bit nasty with the hay bales right at the start, I tip toed through them.

Thought i was going to have a clean 6 stages but think I got a bit complacent.

Just checked times and less than 2 seconds between us

It's a close one for sure!

[Tonsko]

I'm going to struggle to complete this one actually.

Let's start looking forward to the next season. I've chatted briefly with Speckle - maybe have 8 stages per event? Or can keep it to 6, as there's some difficult locations - namely Sweden! The other two are Monaco and GB. Could maybe have a 4th where we go back to Greece (with different sections from the warm up). I think it would be nice to have Rally GB as the last one.

Thoughts?

I'm happy with either 6 or 8 stages and really don't mind what order we do them in. Obviously, it would be great to leave Monte Carlo out completely if we can

Would be good to have another Greece event as the PS4 lot missed out on that.

I agree, either 6 or 8 is fine with me, and Monte Carlo wouldn't be missed

[Tonsko]

Tish-pershaw!

Monte is much easier than sweden. Sometimes...

What about classes? Whole range or just more modern ones.

Not too fussed. Personally, I prefer 00s and onwards although, I've had a lot of fun in the Sierra Cosworth too. We haven't included any of the properly powerful cars yet, they could be fun around Sweden

[Jon_Bmw]

70s and 80s RWD! Much more rewarding when it goes right.

6-8 Stages sounds fine. I wonder if anyone will finish the Monte without falling off a cliff and retiring.

X-Platform League Event 1 is over! Will put everything into a google docs sheet, as this wiki thing is too unwieldy. There are a number of folk on the PS/Xbox leagues whom I just have the racenet name for. Presume they're on PH? Anyone know who they are?

Hello, I'm Craste - Craig

ALLYRALLY85 is me.

I'm going to be murdering the Mrs or making her pay for a new telly soon.

She has a brilliant knack of walking in and asking me a question mid stage, which not only blocks out the pace notes but means I'm thinking of something else.

Cue massive fiery crash of death

When she isnt intervening I had quite a good session last night. Switched from using the Fulvia to the Alpine in the 70s rally and I'm now winning 4/6 rallies and on the podium in others.

Sweden can still go fk itself though. I'm fine with sections full of 1-3 corners but when I'm in 4th gear up and you just brush a snowbank and it sends you spinning down the road, aargh

Haha it's a nightmare when someone interrupts a stage, certain crash every time. I have to wait till everyone's in bed, lot easier.

Why not join the league see what sort of times you are getting compared to us all.

women dont seem to understand testosterone, competitive nature etc. Be it a real life race, game, whatever, if I am in it I want to do my best even if its not as good as others, its about that. Doing the best I can, or in BF4 team killing JoyDivision in as many humorous ways as possible

Yeh, you have to go into account management on the dirgame website and link your account to your platform.

[V8 Animal]

First time on the league tonight, race net hung on race 2, race 4 Sweden trovey? Something is wrong with end I couldn't finish the game kept on resetting increasing the time. I had to retire as recover just kept on looping.
Peed me right off TBH
Thought I was doing ok but couldn't compare as no one else on the table???

[JamesRF]

Well that's Germany all done!

Was fairly consistent and didn't have any major offs or penalties which has resulted in me taking the overall lead by nearly 27 seconds!

Was pushing hard to try and get ahead of turbojay, looks like you fell away on the last 2 stages as it was very close after stage 4!

Benchmark set

[Allyc85]

Nightmare on the first stage in Germany, got a o/s/r puncture smacking a hinckelstein on a "5 left, be brave" losing 1m 20 to the leader. Drove the 2nd stage like a complete wuss and lost another 10 or so!
