Dirt Rally.. looks promising!

[Pwig]

Basically yes. You can chose which event to drop but I expect everyone will drop their worst score. So might as well just be best 4 out of 5 rounds.

Sounds similar to the current event running on the piston-heads2 league, I think 4 of the stages are at night with one of them being Monaco in the snow!

Cheers Speckle...

It wasn't me, I promise!! I think Piston-Heads2 is random but, I didn't set it up - maybe whoever did is just a sadist?!

Whatever you set up tonight Tonsko, I'll replicate it on PS4 tomorrow at work

ETA - I see that you've already done it. Will try to find time to set it up this afternoon...

Ah I see, so the best 4/5 results, for example. Presume it would be the person's own choosing as to which event? Everyone would choose a different one to drop I imagine.

I guess we could do that - what does everyone think? Would that be a welcome addition? It could benefit nearly everyone, except for perhaps turbojay555 and JamesRF

Good plan, i'll miss the final event as i'm in Le Mans

[molineux1980]

Really enjoyed the Germany rally, especially knowing I was competing against fellow P'Headers!

Seemed to make much more mistakes than when I am playing AI drivers. Pressure!

I am Oh Gi 8 on Xbox, using a TX wheel and no assists.

PS4 season set up (I think!) It didn't save the first time so, had to do it twice!!

[Jon_Bmw]

I suspect I will need to drop all of my rounds...

I think the community would be better off if James and Jay turned off their assists... although god forbid they go quicker without them!

[WhiteBaron]

Rolled it in the 1st section on todays daily! Ruined my run of top tier finishes!

Also doing the monthly..... i hate greece!!

Joint 1st with turbojay!? Clearly a race off is needed to decide a proper winner

oooh, could be interesting, although i'm happy with joint first although this new season is going to be more interesting, seem to struggle with rwd, hate the sweden stages and easy to bin it on pikes peak. Think greece will be my best rally.

Has it been set up for xbox yet ?

Also cheers Tonsko for setting it all up, much appreciated

Binned it..... Gutted

I don't know if anyone uses Discord, but it's a chat program like Slack, but designed for gamers. Runs in browsers, desktop client, mobile, voice (if you want) parses images and video inline etc. It's pretty good.

Have set up a Pistonheads one if anyone is interested.

Is it just me or is there no PS4 league loaded?

[anonymous-user]

Well I just totally messed up the latest league event. Did the first two stages and was leading by 4 seconds at the end of those. I was first to do stage 3 and think I laid down a decent time - no mistakes, it felt fast.

On to stage 4... 4th or 5th corner I go slightly too fast in and manage to mount the bank and roll down it. Car totalled! I think 20 minutes was added to my total time. Balls!

Guess that means I don't get to compete in stages 5-8 then? Brutal.

Nope, not just you. I just tried adding the first couple of events again so we could get started but, once again, it didn't save!! That's 3 attempts now

No idea why - clunky racenet perhaps?

Anyway, I've promoted a few of you to 'manager' status which means you can add seasons.

Pwig, JamesRF and ifindoubt620 - you've can all add seasons on the piston-heads league now. (probably best if only one of you tries at a time!)

Hopefully one of you will have more luck than I did!!

[JamesRF]

Okay looks like I succeeded so the PS4 league should be live as of 9:15.

Hopefully I've set it up correctly, right pig of a system which glitches and freezes all the time...

Top man!

Totally agree, the system is awful! I did nothing different to last week but, it just wouldn't register any of the events for some reason - very frustrating!

As for the rest of my Dirt Rally experience this morning, not good at all!! I seem to be fine on the daily stuff but, managed to crash out of the monthly again, this time on stage 16!! Also crashed out of piston-heads2, I think it may even have been on the first stage!!

With this week being Monte Carlo on piston-heads, I can't see that going much different!!

[V8 Animal]

I was out on the second stage lol

[Tonsko]

Have yet to try it. Maybe will get some time this weekend? I like to think that Monte Carlo is my best event, as it was one of the first locations released last year.

Sadly, I suspect it won't be. Racing you guys makes you push too hard.

Can't imagine how annoyed you were trying to do it, it was only my first attempt but the computer nearly went out the window with rage!

I only need to complete the monthly event for the platinum so I'm treating it like a Sunday drive to get to the finish as I wrecked on stage 11 in April.

This game drives you mad but it's simply addictive

Regarding the mention of dropping your worst event, can't see why that couldn't work to be honest. Let's see how we all get on over the next month and if enough people agree to it then we can let Tonsko know within 24 hours after the final event which one we want to ditch.

Edit: I'm guessing that will be pretty obvious as everyone will clearly want to drop their worst finish....must wake up this morning

I started out doing the same, literally just pootling along, never going higher than 3rd. But, as the stages went on, the confidence grew and the right foot grew heavier , right up until my idiot co-driver called a 4 left which was more like a 2......and then straight off a cliff!!

Stupid game!!
