Just run Wales.

WOW that was intense!!!

The first two stages in the wet and the last two in the night really keep you on your toes. Gettin the hang of the pace notes now and managed the whole rally with out a excursion off the road and only one mega two wheelin moment that almost wrote my car off.

Glad I got this one, top fun and it really makes you think on your toes.

I have been loving this.

I had run the daily events and a couple of FWD 60' rallies to get money to get an 80's BMW. Did ok

I then headed into the weekly rally for the 80's car and promptly put it over a bridge on the first stage. That was me done for the week in that event.

I then ran the BMW in the rally season. Had a win in one of the rallies and came home 2nd in the championship. Still doing the daily rallies where I am getting good $$$ for my finishing, I have today bought a Group B car to do the monthly challenge

In between all that I did the ARSE series as well :up:

Where do I find these daily events?

Im doing the career mode at the moment. I somehow forfeited the 1st rally and finished 3rd overall for the 1960's stuff but fell a few grand short on affording a car for the next tier so im redoing the 1960's event again to be able to move up.

Took the whole of Wales to get the hang of the car so next time around I might be able to win a stage lol.



Got my Wales ARSE league time in. Its just Woody and myself at present. Wonder how long itll take for someone to knock me off.

When you click passed the screen where Leagues are, online events are on the next page. This is where daily weekly and monthly events are. Daily allows you to drive whatever car is up. Weekly and monthly need you to own the car in question.

Excellent, now you mention it I do recall seeing Online Events altho I never clicked on it.
Sweet, another bunch of stuff to do.

Really enjoying this one. Had a run last night where I had to remember to breath. There is something sweet about hearing 6 left into jump into immediate 6 right that makes me have an evil smile. Get it wrong and there is a lot of trees to finish you off.

I was playing thru my career last night, well binning another 1960's Lancia whilst leading the 1st rally... Again.

Then before quitting out altogether I ran the daily challenge in the BMW M3 and had a freakin ball, that car is VERY fun to drive. Then it dawned on me, I had not driven a 2010 WRC car yet.

HOREYSHEET, those things boogie!!! Killer pulling out of the hairpins and super fast in a straight line. Had a ball destroying WRC cars for the rest of the night whilst refusing to go any slower than 11/10ths.

Too hard lol. Stage 2 I blew a tyre and went spearing off. Guess I should have slowed as a minute before I hit a rail and heard the dreaded hiss.

Thats a mighty good effort Knappo! I was right on par with you for 2 of the stages but completely ballsed it in the other 4 lol.
I foind the peugeot to be a bouncy POS. It wouldnt steer when I wanted it to and would career off the track over any decent bumps. It also seemed to flip whenever the back end hit a mound or something, just felt like a pinball! Frustrating as hell but still fun when I could keep it straight :) Ill go back to the RS for the next one.

This next rally is tough. I keep over driving then driving off a cliff, had my first 'car can not be recovered' message in some prac I was running.

Flew off the road in a 6 left and the first thing that broke my fall was the top of a pine tree around 10 meters down the hill. So much fun!

Well after EJ mentioned the pug bounced a lot I wanted to test out the difference. I tend to run custom events since there are only 3 environments in the sim instead of career mode or the online events.

I only ran 1-2 stages today before the Mrs cracked the shits at me for not helping with the kids...

I thought round 3 was at Greece so I was surprised when I rolled up to the start at Wales!

Binned it 3-4 kms in and retired. Bump Bowwww.

Steam just started a 5 gig update

I would suggest you kick this off before you plan to play as you cant do online stuff without it

And it has Pikes Peak in it apparently :D
