The Giant Bomb DiRT Rally League

Fuck. Skidded off the edge.

Back to the bonfire.

Had a pretty good run this time. axeflex way too fast for me, though.

Back from school and able to race again! Started off alright (for my standards) but got overconfident on Finland and ruined my car. My objective became finish by any means and my times went right down the toilet...

Still glad to be racing, terrible as my driving is...

I just joined but it's a little late in the day to get in on it today. This is rad. I've been looking for an excuse to play this game lately.

So every time I try to load the league page it gives an error - multiple league members have confirmed that they are having the same issue. I'm investigating.

Not only that but look at the points:

@lobster_johnson: It seems that the positions are accurate despite the points, though.

So, it looks like something has just gone horribly wrong. There's no way for me to access the league page, but I could reset the season using the admin tools. Currently undecided if I should let this event run out to maybe save the results from Week 1-3 or reset it.

Well, the league page is back again but the points are still all out of whack.

Yup, something went horribly wrong. The support ticket I filed with Codemasters never got an answer. I'll set up some out of championship event from tomorrow until Wednesday and then on the 1st we'll start with the monthly championship again - hoping that nothing goes wrong this time.

EDIT:

The Dark Souls of Rallying is now live until early Wednesday. We'll then resume the regular monthly championship on the evening of the 1st.

Lovely. I will ask Mr. Coleman to put this into the Lancia's cassette player during every stage of the event:

"You will just have to speak over it, Paul."

Keen to rally again! May miss this weeks but will be good for the next if I do.

I'll be back to rallying soon. I've sort of been waiting for the Oculus Rift support. Also we have the iRacing Nurburgring 24 this weekend. Should be streamed if you want to tune in.

I could really feel the knackered suspension by the second Finland stage. The final German stage felt bizarre to drive, hence.

Man... only four of us finished and I still didn't make the bloody podium!

I barely made the finish line, the engine was losing power the last three stages, but it was great.

ugh stupid Wales...second worst rally.

worst is Greece. oh wait. we did both of those this week. stupid Greece.

Never Give up

I think I had...one good stage this week. Maybe.

Damn, 'lost about a minute on stage 3 of the current event.

I took a jump so high that I was heading into space, and the car was airborne long enough for it to pitch directly downwards and be pointing almost 90 degrees to the road.

I spiked the engine block and immediately lost the left front with that single impact.

I didn't know you could DNF via unrecoverable car at Greece, but I found a spot for it.

Racenet must've been down all weekend. It's back now, though.

Is this thing on? Hello? ANYONE STILL HERE?! Oh hey, hello lonely person in the back there. Have you been waiting for more rallying all this time? Well, have we got something in store for you...

2017 has just started and oh boy, we got a treat waiting for you. YES, YOU!

@mozzle: whoa! Thanks, duder! I can't wait to start putting some times in!!! Sorry I didn't reply immediately. At work =p

Since its Pikes Peak weekend I made a Pikes Peak event for our league. It's 3 stages. Sector 1, Sector 3 and then the full course. All the new asphalt version. Since the hill is the challenge it's open on car. What can you finish in?

did a practice run with the modern car, got a flat tire after the 4th crash into a tree. much faster to just drive the audi and stay at least somewhat on the road sometimes.

My best results on the climb probably ever.

This expired quicker than I thought it was going to. That's what I get for setting it up on my phone. I've redone it but this time it's just the sunset full asphalt course and should run through Thursday. It's also hillclimb cars only now.

WRC Wales rally GB is this weekend so I thought I'd make an event for it. It's a long one so get ready. You have through Monday to complete it with the 2010 cars.
