"WRC Challenge Weekend 2"

How are we doing guys? I got to admit that I hate gravel, I prefer tarmac or ice. But so far so good. I`m currently on 7.35.02.

Great work! I think we all could use more knowledge about how the top drivers (maybe) are getting the fast speeds...

... Am I the only one going fully airborne over the crests? Is the other way (to break before the crest) faster?

There are some WRC cornering "tips" at

(not suggesting you need any)

Hmmm... strange indeed. Just when I'm fed up with this stage... on my last run for the evening... I TOTALLY CRUSHED MY OLD RECORD!!!

Maybe there was some kind of divine intervention or something :)

Oh well... enough talk ... now to the times: 1.56.76 + 3.08.00 + 2.11.78 = 7.16.54 landing me position number 11 in sweden and 412 internationally with an hour and 40 minutes left.

Thanks to Diplomat for letting me know the secret to the last "right 4" on stage 2 :)

See you all on the next stage.

I managed a time of 1.55.80 on the 1st stage then it all went belly up!!:(

Thanks for helping again Ginger:)

Last "right four"... don't you dare mention it when I'm around:))), I could be well under 7.15 without that damn corner.

Basically, what I've done is that I go full throttle and I try to assume when exactly the corner turns sharp and jerk the car to the right a little bit before that. Lately it hasn't been very successful though, cause I constantly end up crashing out and therefore blowing everything I earned in the previous corners.

Anyway, I think I'm done for this weekend, its not fun anymore.

It has been good fun, if fustrating, we should set something up for when this finishes, your right.

3.07 on the second stage!!! How do you do it!?!?? :)

Is it possible to take the last "right 4" on the second stage with full throttle? I have to let go of the throttle and jerk the car sideways to stay on the road.

darn, the last stagetime would of course be 2.11.--, otherwise my grandma would beat me:)))

I hate this game. Or actually I hate the fact that I'm not as good as I want to be. I'm getting somewhere, too, but that doesn't make me like it;) I'm currently on 7.17.32, the best times of the stages are 1.56.86, 3.07.82 and 3.11.--. So I might as well try some more to get into 7.16.--...

Now I'm starting to get somewhere... 1.56.64+3.10.04+2.12.10 = 7.18.78 Maybe I should try driving with manual gears (what else could the top guys be doing... except using Action replay chats of course:))
