    looks like i'm going to have to push a little harder, although I think I should of chosen another car. the opel is a little low on go compared to some of the others

    Is there nothing we can do about how we score DSCs? give them the slowest recorded time perhaps?

    The game has already done that by giving the same time as if retired. If you have a time screen shot I could technically work it in manually but to be honest it's a massive pain, because I have to manually edit the standings of other drivers as well for every round thereafter, it doubles the effort of producing the results - then it also means I have to overide the championship points and standings for every event thereafter.

    I didn't get a time but in all likely hood would have finished as well, on a flyer in fact, if not for the DSC mid-stage. It's virtually impossible to account for both these situations with fairness and equality to both the affected drivers and the rest of the field.

    Best to accept it as is and chalk it up to bad luck.

    So I finished Monte Carlo, and I SURVIVED!!

    Actually it wasn't that bad in the Opel with the diff changes to stop most of the oversteer. I was slow, but I actually got the trophy for finishing a Monte Carlo stage without incident lol

    Much more enjoyable on the tarmac obviously but just happy to finish on the road, and not off the cliff.

    Only 2 spins the whole rally. 1 was just too much rotation at a hairpin and had to grab reverse, and the other was a 360 spin that was collected quite nicely (if I do say so myself)

    It really is an achievement to get through without stacking it, no spins for me yet, but I have nearly rolled the car a few times..

    Well mixed bag for me got stuck on a snow bank at hairpin on stage one lost about 30seconds, put wrong tyres on stage 3 and 4 forgot to look at track and conditions should have used slicks, rest of rally really good no spins.

    Yes i can continue. Wish i didn't though, I had a nightmare last few stages. forgot to change tires on my second service stage and had to limp through stage 5 and 6 then on fresh tires I absolutely stacked it on stage 7 leaving me to nurse the car through the last 2 stages.. not great, but happy to have got though it with out terminal damage

    Group B RWD and the snowy icy roads of Monte Carlo is a MAD combo! Had a blast. Tried out the Opel Mantra this time. Yes, it is a nice balanced car with progressive throttle control, but think it is lacking the oomph and rear traction that the Lancia and Porshe have on the tight twisty stuff.

    So good eh :inlove: I had a blast.
    H3 is also awesome at MC. Spot on with the Manta. It almost keeps up, but is definitely more forgiving.

    I can not control these cars. I felt I didn't do toooooooooo bad a Finland but at Monaco on ice it was hilarious, I totalled the car by very slowing going over a snow mound in the ice section and getting the terminal damage pop up.

    I can imagine. Everything happens in slow motion on those icy stages while sawing backwards and forwards on the wheel trying to maintain control. I suspect would be quite amusing to watch someone else doing it!
