    WHEN THE CAUTION APPEARS BEFORE THE RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO THE BRIDGE BRAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    (It's downhill too)
    The only thing stopping you from DNF is a piece of striped tape if you miss that corner

    Man, I've been looking forward to this - jumped on tonight - nailed stage 1 - and then the Codemasters servers shat themselves. Couldn't save, resume or anything so had to quit. Hopefully my stage time is saved or I can at least start again another day. :(

    Turned out my stage 1 time saved okay and there's now 9 stage times done to chase down. Other than a spin in stage 6 that took a while to recover from, pretty happy with that rally as a whole. Got to the end with minimal "oh :):):):)" moments! Need a shower now, Argentina is intense! Good luck all.

    PS - @Hatfield I don't think the stage with the taped-off termnial damage drop-off is in this event, or at least I didn't notice it

    Yeah, s6 was the killer for me, but kept it pretty consistent for the rest so happy to sit at the top for now (until @KoAStR comes along....... :rolleyes: )

    I used the Lancia Delta but not sure if I should've. Handbrake turn pitching into certain corners almost resulted in rolling the car lol

    And things were going so well... I was about one minute ahead after stage 6, (despite discovering a retaining wall behind some shrubberies at the end of stage 4) but after stage 7 the Codies servers wouldn't connect on the results screen.
    I can't remember the exact order of of things I tried to get the servers to reconnect, but I've managed to register stage 7 as a DNF despite finishing it on the first attempt, and not being able to start it on another couple of attempts haha o_O
    Ahhhh well, onto Australia I guess!

    Yeah, that sucks and happened to me on Friday on a different club event: DNF recorded because the Code master servers shat themselves. Of course two stages later I flipped it, became disoriented and started driving the wrong way and realised too late before I could turn around and got a DSQ.... :oops:

    Man, :):):):) Argentina.
    I really don't under the dynamics of how to drive on rally surfaces properly and ALWAYS get tones on understeer, I just can't get the car rotated enough. I would probably help if I had handbrake of some kind but man just :):):):) Argentina. I missed a bridge in the 8th stage fell of course and was forced to DNF. So much time spent, so much pain and frustration.

    Yeah, handbrake is kinda mandatory, especially in the tight and twisty stages of Argentina. I've got the handbrake mapped to my clutch pedal (and of course auto-clutch assist on), works for me.

    I thought about doing this exact thing and I may need to do so going forward.

    I have the button on the wheel but most of the time it isn't not where I need it when because of the steering angle haha

    I also suck at rally but that's my excuse
