I've decided to extend the deadline to Thursday due to a lack of entries at this point in time and also so the cars from the Mud and Guts pack can be used at the next round.
 
I had a lot of time tonight, so I decided to finish and submit my entry but I still had trouble with the power stage.
 
Results for Kenya

Round 4 - Norway
For the final points paying (unless the majority of players have the Monte Carlo pack) round it's time for the toughest rally yet - the very snowy Norwegian rally. The cars are even more feared than the stages though, with premier league using Group B cars and minor league using 70's cars.

Stage 1 - Aasstuevegen - Snow
Stage 2 - Litlikaupanger - Morning, sun
Stage 3 - Rustadvegen - Afternoon, sun
Stage 4 - Kantvegen - Afternoon, sun
Stage 5 - Paalsrudvegen - Night
Power Stage - Buttermilk Climb (Aspen Head to Head - use the Mini Cooper S for this) - Snow

Premier League (Group B) - grimmi3nl, faqoldschool, interludes, TheStig13
Minor League (70's) - Adzian, SmittMan

great result. Hope that the results will be as good in the snow..will extensively try the peugeot 205.

Good luck all.

@interludes, congrats on the powerstage! Very competive time. Will try to beat your ghost if i have some spare time.
 
I don't think you'll find that ghost. I've had a bad internet connection for some time now - I haven't been online in over a week, and I haven't been able to connect to DirtNet for longer. And I'm pretty sure "Freshwood" holds the record time for that stage. He's a known cheater who uses a "grip hack", a hack that allows him to go twice as fast as he normally would. I've had the misfortune to race him online before; he was in a 1960s race around the Dredger Duel at the Michigan Smelter and he beat us all by more than half a lap. In a Mini Cooper S.

Yeah, but you have to run in the minor league class in your first week.

Since I don't know that much about the differences in the game between the types of cars I don't quite know how to get started. In the WRS we follow a game plan so what car do I use? I see the different tracks but it's the car that I need to know about.
 
This series is divded into two categories: the Premier League, and the Minor League. Premier League drivers are entitled to use faster cars; Minor League drivers will race slower cars. When all the results are submitted, the fastest drivers in the Minor League will be promoted to the Premier League at the expense of the slowest drivers in the Premier League. Because you're a newcomer, you have to run in the Minor League to begin with, since the Premier League drivers for this week have already been decided.

For this week, the rally in question is Norway, with the Premier League driving Group B cars and the Minor League driving 1970s cars. Since you're a Minor League driver, you're entitled to use any car that you like in the 1970s class - the Stratos, the Escort Mk. II, the 131 Abarth or the Kadett. The choice is up to you; it largely comes down to personal preference. Even if there are difference in performance between those four cars, it doesn't really matter; rallying is a very different discipline to circuit racing, so it's entirely possible to set competitive times in slower cars. Take the Monte Carlo stages, for example - the current World Record time on Sospel for Group B cars is held my a Metro 6R4, even though it's the least-powerful car in the class.
 
After about an hour on Aasstuevegen I made it on to the first page :) what a hoot. Thats my highest placing yet. I'm using the Opel Kadett GT/E :)

On Litlikaupanger I hit 319 so far

On Rustadvegen i'm at 12th :lol:

Last one for tonight, on Kantvegen I'm 42nd when it feels like updating :(

----------------------------- QUESTION -------------------------------

How do you set the time of day like the specs for the race call out? I hope I'm running the correct event/events because I don't see any time of the day mod area.

This whole event will probably be some kind of learning experience for me anyway since I don't really know what I'm doing..... :lol:

Uh, you need to do your runs in single race, not time trial. Time trials are always run in optimal conditions - in the case of Norway, morning and sunny - but you need to do Rustadvegen and Kantvegen in the afternoon, Aasstuevegen and Buttermilk Climb (it's not in Norway, but it is a snow stage) in the snow and Paalsudvegen at night. You're also not allowed to use flashbacks.

You also have to use a 1960s car for the power stage, Buttermilk Climb.
 
Thanks....... I'll give it another go 👍

----------------------------- UPDATE ---------------------------------------

While practicing for this ( the correct ) combo I was able to amass 2 front pages and another top 10 for a total of 3 out of 6 and the other 3 making up a top 20, 30, and 40 placing. I’m thinking that my submitted times will reflect my level of interest I have in the game.

---------------- QUESTION ----------------------

Concerning the
Rules:
Some shortcuts are allowed (ie, where the co-driver's call includes the word cut), but exploits of the track boundaries, cutting corners behind objects such as trees, etc, is not allowed.

What if we hit objects or take out ribbons or snow fence or cut corners or get creative by droping two tires off the track inside to burm shot a corner?

How do you know when you are at an unacceptal level of straightening out a turn?

For the power stage, I just picked the head to head track Buttermilk Climb, set the laps to 1, grab the mini cooper s and have at it.
 
There are 3 races for the "Power Run" competition and I was wondering if we add all three times together or if we pick the fastest lap of the three?

There is only 1 race. You have 3 runs but you submit the fastest time around the track. You don't have to accumulate the times.
See it as een timetrial in single race mode, check the fastest laptime and submit that.
 
Is this thred dead ???? Both competitions are MIA. I don't get it, at least there is some life still in the WRS but those guys only like tarmac. I thought there would be some real energy over here but I guess it's my excessive ingestion of real dirt over the years. I'm tired of waiting and I am going to start my own competition done the Lefty way and if your event wakes up I'll be back.

This game is too trick to think that I'm the only one who is pumped on it. Good luck to everyone and it's off to the races.
 
I apologise for letting this series die out.

There were only two entries submitted for the final round, LeftyWright and faqoldschool. I'm not going to total up the results as there was only one entry for each class.
 
Is this series still going? I'd like to be apart of it if possible and would also like to know what classes are there to compete in.
