Going to attempt mine this evening, I'm not sure the venerable Escort is going to be up to it looking at the Opel times but I'll give it a go!

jeeezez!! I survived!! 
All in all i am satisfied with the end result, made a couple of small errors on the later stages and one HUGE one where i was 150% sure i had to call an helicopter to retrieve my car!
But thanks to sweet mother of Seth MacFarlane i somehow ended in a tree that stopped my car from going further down the hill..
Managed to get back on track and only lost 15-20 seconds and maybe a couple years of my life

Through day 2 with a relatively undamaged car, Had a spin on stage ss4 and lost maybe 15 seconds getting it pointed in the right direction. At Service C, I found that I was driving all 4 stages in stock setup. I know I had put in my setup before starting those 4. Damn you Dirt Rally High Geared understeery crap wagon for 4 stages. I just can't seem to find the pace of the leaders even with the setup turned on, but I wasn't losing tons of time in stage 1, 2, 7 and 8. Guess I'll keep plugging along and try to keep the car intact at this point.
Seems like you can save and continue there. But if the game crashes you are back to the last checkpoint
Dang left 4 slippy on SS12... And it was all going so well
everyone's dream i guess, fresh weather/surface each time you hit the road (even better: car #01 influences the track for car #02 i.e. gravel thrown on street, ice melting after some passes etc.) i guess we'll have that in about five years.
omg I'm still 12th and it's "already" Tuesday
haha, laugh of the day.omg I'm still 12th and it's "already" Tuesday
I got a date with Monte tonight...in the Hyundia 20i...hope she doesn't leave me stranded in a ditch or barreling off the side of the mountain.
When you are awarded a two 10 seconds penalty because of jump starts
Make that a third!When you are awarded a two 10 seconds penalty because of jump starts
Nice one man - I tried to push on SS17 as well and flew off a cliff

A DNF-Cliff?
haha thankfully only a 15s cliff!
not today at least!So no sad parrots then!
hey, my Hyundai was pretty kind to me
Done the first 8 stages and so far so good.
Is about 20 sec slower than the fastest on each stage, slow but so far safe, only one spin in a hairpin.
56th total and 18th in class at present
A BIG thanks to the organizers!
