OK lets get this started as a thread to discuss the Dirt: Rally daily, weekly and monthly challenges.

Feel free to post and discuss any tips, advice, set-ups, etc that you feel may help along with sharing the frustration of binning the car off the side of a Monte mountainside and crashing out of the monthly (as I did).

Link to the CM Events page (with times, telemetry, etc.) can be found here.

I did find this event disappointing, since it's just the same stages over and over.

Is Daily 2 always an "owners club" event or do we get a rental car like with Daily 1 sometimes?

Its a mix. I've just checked on the events section of the dirt website and the ones on the 9th (VW Polo) and 10th (Opel Kadett) were rentals.
 
Does anyone know if the upgrades from career carry through into the dailys and weeklys? Reason I ask is that in the weekly around Wales I have been shocking but I'm in same car/country combo for career and didn't really put a foot wrong the whole rally with much better times.
 
I'm pretty sure that if owning an eligible car is a pre-requisite, then upgrades carry over. You don't have to buy a car especially for the event if you already own it. On the car selection screen, press X/square/PC equivalent and it should list the available upgrades.

If you need it, buy as many perks for the car as you can get, then run a custom championship. Both the number of stages and the difficulty setting will increase the payment bonus, so three rounds with eight stages will net you about 150,000 credits.
 
I dont know. Logically, whenever not using a rental but an owned car it should come with all upgrades?!
 
Today's daily events are Pant Mawr Reverse in the Hyundai Rally, and a wager event in Finland using the MG Metro 6R4. Both are run in the morning in very greasy conditions.

I skunked Pant Mawr, but did okay in Finland.

My feeling is that logically, as the car is pre-tuned, we all get the same beast, though that's only a guess. I know that the car seems to handle differently on the stage than it does with the last shakedown...there again, I could be just me using a different or over confident approach at that point having just seen the same section six times in a row ;)

Today's daily was good. I like Wales a lot. I got into the top 10 (playing under a different username and flag - don't ask :P) but could've definitely shaved of a second or two if I ran some practice runs before. The rear felt very heavy on the Hyundai.

Off to blow 200K on the wager event.

Edit : Spun twice with the MG Metro on Finland. Was not expecting it to be that slippery. Still Top Tier I assume, with just a second shy off Top 50.

I blew a tyre early on in the Hyundai, was lucky to finish.

As for the Metro, it's a very squirmy car on a controller (I use the Delta in Career), tough to make it settle down. I didn't push hard in it but managed to have a clean run, should still be Top Tier.

I do, too, but I can't stand Pant Mawr (or Pant Mawr Reverse). I go as fast as I can without crossing over the limits of adhesion and I still feel like I'm about 30km/h slower than I need to be. Even when it's used as part of Sweet Lamb or Geufron Forest, I make up all of my time in the Bidno Moorland section.
 
I went into today's Wager event "blind", didn't know what stage or car I'd be on, turns out it was the Lancia Stratos at Greece :nervous:

As a no-assist controller user I was dreading the worst, but I managed to nail a strong (if a little conservative) run :sly:

Today's challenges are a stage in Greece with the Mini WRC and one in Germany for owners of the 131 Abarth.

I don't own the 131 Abarth, but I had a go with the Mini and it felt like I was trying to steer a pig that has just escaped the abattoir from about ten feet higher than was ideal.
 
I know that it's only a video game and that certain liberties were taken, but if this is in any way representative of the John Cooper Works WRC, then it's no wonder Mini got out when they did.

And now you have the image of steering a terrified pig with marionette strings stuck in your head.
 
Just did the daily and while I was getting the hang of the Mini WRC, it's so far definitely among my least liked cars in this game - with the default setup anyway. Would've easily made Top 20 today if it wasn't for a small bump on the inside of a corner sending my car flying over the rail for no good reason as I was driving fairly cautiously and slowly in that sector. +13 seconds. Pig. Oink oink.

That's me driving off a cliff and loosing money today then.

Hey, I made an utter Jari-Matti Latvala of myself - took the first corner too quickly, hit the start gantry and ripped the rear wing off, and spun out into the crowd. Fifteen second penalty in fifteen metres of racing. I was still the fastest driver on the XOne when I finished my second run ... but I have since dropped to fifth.
 
Well, I just wasted 100,000 credits - I crashed out on the wager stage, a BMW M3 on Perasma Platani, one of the big Greek stages.
 
I ruined both 205 runs within 30 seconds of crossing the line. Cannot drive that thing. Did fairly well in the E30 but had a few half spins.

Today's events: the full Pike's Peak in a 205 T16 or a wager event that I haven't checked out.

Daily:
The 205's easier to drive than I remember; maybe it's because the Daily version has all of the upgrades installed. It's still quite loose but I reckon it would be faster than the 405 if I could tame it as the initial turn-in is much more responsive. Both of my runs were in the 9:40 range with 30 seconds of penalties from overshooting some corners. Top times on Xbox were in the 9:10s when I checked so my pace was good.

Wager:
Having adjusted my steering settings recently I've been having more fun with the few RWD cars I've driven. The E30's a pleasant thing to drive, I quite enjoyed that stage. The run was pretty solid except for one point where I landed awkwardly and hit a rock on the following "Don't Cut".
 
Ranked 19th at the moment after 18 stages in the monthly event. Had a pretty big crash in the 2nd stage, but managed to bring the car home without to many damage. I'm only 8 minutes away from first place :D
