    And that's why I use the clutch, I always know where to find it!

    If your budget can stretch $200, I highly recommend the Fanatec Handbrake 1.5. I also used to use a mapped button, but having something there you can just reef completes the experience.

    Yeah I keep asking people on facebook who want to sell their $5000 over priced rig if they want to separate their handbrake but they never do!

    Great, didn't realise after using all 10 shakedowns that you can't repair the car before the start of the event now got to start with a busted car :cautious:

    don't do shakedowns. just enter a time trial at the same country to get your eye in to the car and road surface

    I used a logitech flight stick for ages. Cheap alternative that works great.

    Just checked the results so far, @UrsineSaturn9 you're still leading!
    @Mike--ekiM had over a minute lead at the end of stage 6 but something weird happened and his S7 result doesn't exist. But the rest of his results do

    So @KoAStR didn't show up this round to annihilate us? Happy to take the top step, though I know @Mike--ekiM was really the fastest. Well done to @Hatfield and @Kieran_B33 for rounding out the (official) podium. On to Oz!

    Not sure how I finished so far up the ladder when I think I hit every rock on every stage.

    Those rocks help rotate the car so you can get on the power earlier! ;)

    @UrsineSaturn9 we are so close 3 stages in
    S1 I flew into the trees off a fast jump on tarmac but luckily no major damage
    .7 behind you with 2 green and 2 red sectors

    S2 .1 green with the same 2 red/green sectors to be .6 behind

    S3 4 red/green sectors .4 down
    So 1.1 down at first service

    Well that's the end of that I reckon... find out why in S6


    S4 .6 down with 2 red/green sectors
    1.7 behind

    S5 .3 green with only 1 red sector where I caught a rock wall and had to reverse and doing so almost fell down an enbankment
    1.4 down

    S6... 43 red
    Massive crash off a jump into a pole and fence
    front left puncture and had to restart the engine
    finished the stage with many spins as it didn't turn properly
    44.4 behind

    At service unable to repair everything so went with quick fix on the exhaust and wheel geometry, leaving body work and lights damaged

    S7 tree
    57 behind

    S8 looks like I am trying to hit every object on the stage
    1:25 behind

    S9 lost another 11s
    1:37 behind at rally end
    Thank God that's over.

    What felt really good at the beginning just became depressing at the end
    @UrsineSaturn9 I feel like you've really improved and I feel like my time on this game is running out

    Sounds very close a lot of the way, though doesn't take much to come unstuck in this game. I think I had the same run in with the fence after the big jump, but didn't fare too badly out of it. A couple of little spins and a small penalty for going off track, but no major time losses. I am certain that the VR headset is helping me out with this game as the additional depth perception is invaluable

    I've got the co-driver calls set one increment from 'earliest' and you still get the occasional 'into 2 right' as I'm flying off the edge of the 2 right into the forest. Damn it Phil... haha. Those downhill fast sections are hilarious too, the car spends about 20% of the time in contact with the ground.
    A few spins, some trees (Phillip, please mate), a couple of fences and 1 flat tyre, but I came away from all of it mostly unscathed :)
