    So glad that's over
    really getting sick of losing the rear and then in the next corner skidding straight off a cliff

    I'd like to enjoy the game more again so my proposal of class for next season is:
    H1
    RWD H2
    F2 Kit

    Jumped on last night and did the first two stages. Of course I had to try out the BMW and indeed it does sound awesome! I'm struggling a bit I think as I'm used to playing this game in VR now, but my headset is currently broken and in the process of getting replaced so I really missed the better perspective and depth of field that VR gives you. Anyway, rally on!

    Wel, that was intense and a great way to finish off the series! Greece is brutal in any car, but in a Group B RWD? :eek: Would have been interesting to have a heart rate monitor on during that! :laugh: Cheers @KoAStR for setting up the series!

    I did this and it was a game changer, feels like a totally different game now. Thank you

    Just finish the full rally in one stint. Really hard work keeping the car on the road and still travel fast, I had a few off's, but generally just drove not to crash, exercising pure caution whenever a tricky corner presented itself. pretty happy with my times though although I cannot drive down hill on gravel it seems, I was having a nightmare on those downhill hairpins ending up just rolling around them in first gear.
    I went with super soft and high suspension, open diffs on accel and locked on braking which helped keep it together.

    Very hard work mate, just completing it without smashing the car to bits is a triumph in itself.

    Will there be a vote for car class for the next championship once everyone has finished?

    Doing Greece back-to-back was gruelling!
    Was going well until a rock biffed me over and down a bank to the recovery crew on stage 4. The surface degradation sure made judging the hairpins very tricky. I felt like I was struggling to stay in control on worn tyres. Had to be so patient in spots, especially on the throttle. Well done to all that stayed on track (mostly :p) and made it to the end!
    As for setup I tweaked what I had from Finland. For Greece diff was full lock on decel, and a couple of clicks off full on accel, with one click of preload. Can't say whether it was optimal but it worked.

    Bad luck mate, so easily done. Greece is treacherous, like Argentina. Great pace the rest of the season. Cheers.
