yeah, i did a testrun before i chose manta. i drove älgsjon stage with lancia s4 and with opel manta. with lancia i got something like 3:39 and with manta 3:48. And i think i did more small mistakes with Lancia.

Should have done some test runs myself, just picked the car I remembered having somewhat control with from before. Forgot that I'm never in control in Sweden :D

Had 2 good stages, and 1 ok, the rest were lessons in frustration. Which puts me overall around where I usually end up, hehe.

I think I just drove the cleanest Sweden I've ever done, but that's not saying much. I drove slowly and did a lot of smaller mistakes, had to reverse twice on the night stage and lost a wheel punctured a tyre near the end of the sixth. But still, I actually had some fun in Sweden. That's rare.

I'm just glad that I was able to finish Sweden, the result was already expected considering that I'm no good with Group B cars and Sweden.

I fell off a cliff :(

I nearly fell off the cliff three times :D .. 2 times i was on the snowbank, really close, one time i made a spin from huge speed, it was miracle that i was back on the road after that spin :D


anyway, summary:

S1: spin
S2: spin at high speed, super lucky to not get DNF
S3: clean
S4: 2 spins, crash into cars, 2 times close to DNF on snowbanks
S5: clean
S6: spin with reverse needed
S7: small crash into the fences, crash right before the finish, reverse needed

I realized I might not have time to play this weekend and decided to get this done with. Driving while tired is always a bad idea and it showed (had to reverse over the finish line with a puncture at some point... again), but all those mistakes didn't hurt my times as much as I expected.

Skully and Arnvidr: The Delta S4 is a fun car, but just a bit too "fun" on these narrow roads. I've driven it off the edge so many times in Monaco... Although I guess it's so fast you might get a good time even if you drove extra carefully.

I went whizzing off a cliff. Strange, I normally do well at monaco. Actually think I might of suffered from being over confident. Also I now bought a wheel. Not so good with it yet, but with enough practice I hope to at least match my controller times.

Quoting: GuestMonaco shows how much bullshit the devs can do. In Greece you can go down to road and you can still recover. In Monaco you go over a little snowbank, and you are done.

Punishing but realistic, I'd say. Just try falling down a mountainside in a rally car and then push it back to the road... if you're still alive. It does sometimes kick in a bit too early, when you haven't still quite gone over. And some spots don't look quite that steep. This doesn't spoil the experience for me though.

Quoting: GuestI am also done with the game after 120 hours, there are bugs that bug me even as a very amateur racer.

I guess you got 120 hours of entertainment for the price so it's not too bad. Just out of curiosity, what were the bugs that most bugged you? (Pardon the pun.) I mean, I haven't run into many problems I'd call bugs in this game.

Quoting: GuestIt was fun though, have fun guys.

Thanks, I certainly will.

So Monaco claimed many souls. 6 Made it through. UK is starting now, will be fun with the Manta :D


I havent noticed any anoying bugs with the game, few minor issues only. ~110hours played for me and still enjoying it.
