Unfortunately I smashed my car up a bit on SS11. Got too cocky thinking I could carry speed through a left 4 long corner and the rocky mountainside bit me. Lost about 30 seconds all up and drop down the timing screens a little way.
Thankfully the car is still running, but some hefty repairs are needed before SS12.

Wow thanks monte for not destroying my car completely, was a bit too close thou and my crew really had some problems fixing that rustbox. Destroyed my front right tire at early stages of rally, and lost about 15-20sec that stage so had to really push and try to gain some time to be able to get into podium. Well, looks like my pushing like a madman was worth it this time.
I was really scared at last stage coz the difference between me and the guy behind me was just about 1 second and I had a broken engine, gearbox that only had like 3 gears left, radiator that wasnt there and my #baru looked like hatchback, seems like I still magaged to keep him behind me at the end
Theres a clip where you can see some uniq driving style and a finnish swearing: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/117508934
Ill try to stream English next time. Cya at Sweden!

What happened to @Rallycameraman? I saw him on top of the first few stages but now he's gone.
Ouch.. I falled back to 20th place in the class so no points for me probably...
Was really enjoying myself in the old 131, nothing spectacular but keeping it steady and clean when bang the old controller disconnected error popped up then disappeared but managed to forget I had a brake pedal in that couple of seconds, straight over the edge into retirement.
Closed the game, loaded it back up and controller settings all fine - p155ed? You better believe it! Grrrr!

Three corners before retiring over a cliff on stage 10, I said to myself, "geez I'm driving well tonight!"... Inevitable that karma would attack swiftly with those levels of optimistic ignorance!! oh well, looking forward to Sweden!

Well I had a great few middle stages in 7-8-9 and managed to pull time back...somewhere around stage 10 thru the end made a bunch of minor mistakes and beat the car up pretty bad. Ended up around 1:00.00 back on ps4. Pretty gutted as I was within around 14 seconds off the lead going into that 10th stage...ah well, I survived Monaco, on to Sweden!
Man, there's a lot of guys that'd be more than happy to write just that

Wah wah.
Messed up real bad on Day 1 during SS8, at least car is still on track and still on the top 100. Day 2 and 3 tonight. Still will need to work out on the rally reports.
Followed my strategy, driving safe without major incidents. Finished 3 min off the pace, currently in 14th position. 20-30 sec slower than the best on some particular stages. Im not brave enough to keep the pedal to the floor, especially not in the foggy conditions. Thanks to the organizers to put this Championship together! Superb work!
I made my run today. My co-driver was sick so i couldn't start before today
Day 1 went awesome, keeping up, just seconds from my PB's
Day 2 I went into it full of confidence. I actually managed to set PB's at stage 5 and 6. (if i remember right)
But then the last stage of the day ended like this
I missed the call for 1 left... But i was in luck, finish line 3 corners away.
Day 3 Onto the long stages. Started off pretty good, but disaster struck on stage 11. I flipped the car pretty early, and a minute later i parked the car on top off the wall balancing it. So 2 time penalty's for getting the car back and confidence shot.
stage 12 and 13 i had a couple of spins, i just couldn't get back into the groove.
Day 4 Then the sun began shining once more. I had a blast. Got my confidence back. And i rocked it! Maybe even setting an other PB somewhere!
Massive thanks to my main sponsor Ferodo brakes for stopping me!

That's the one thing I've learned about this game, don't think how well you're doing because it will be your undoing.
Dude, when I finished the rally on Monday I was first in 4WD+ and 3rd in overall so it's a bit disappointingMan, there's a lot of guys that'd be more than happy to write just that
but at least I finished, not like many others 
Thank you Andrei
Great effortNow I know why Dirt stops developing! So far only two cuts. We're waiting for the next announcements!
I just finished the rally. Its crazy to think that 12 days ago: I was pondering if I wanted to do ANOTHER Live For Speed 24H race in GT cars, rally was no where on the radar. Then some friends talked me into buying Dirt and giving this a kick, my goal was just finish, don't fly off a cliff. Here I am running well in the mid-pack in class, I am ecstatic. I am already looking forward to Sweden ... but bring on the asphalt.!
This will be a fun few months

nice, brilliant teamwork, i did the exact same move it seems, just a couple days earlier, feels like our team manager told us to try it in unison.
Can I find out my stage times, on ps4, even if I crashed out?
