Oops, forgot to mention it. The runs must be done in Single Player, as the weather/time options can't be changed in Time Trial.
 
Ah. Good point. I forgot about that - Time Trial is always run in the best conditions. I should have remembered.

Of course, Time Trials also prevent you from using Flashbacks ...
 
Okay, times submitted.

That was very intense. I found a really good way of doing multiple runs over the stages to get my times down. At one point, I was beating my original times by three seconds - and my original times were some of the fastest I've ever set.

Dare I say it, but I think some of these times are going to be very hard to beat.
 
Is there any way we can see your times for a ruff guess ?
 
It's no fun if we all know everyone's times.

If you know the time they will be someone who posts a slightly faster time than they can get like in some of the time trial comps for GT
 
Sounds good, Stig. I think the idea of sticking to one class makes it a little easier.
 
So..... We don't have to post our car in the thread just on the form with the tines.
 
Is it too late to enter?

Only if your time is severely slower... but if we see it now, we know what's possible and have the rest of the week to keep trying.

As for the competition, it looks like it's going to run very similar to the TT I run, so I suppose I won't need to host one now.
 
What happens if you hit something? Is it just like the WRS stuff or do we just keep on going?
 
I did a boo-boo, I already submitted my times. I must of misread the schedule? So we have all week starting today or the times have to be submitted by 4 AUS time?
 
At 4, AUS time, exactly like you read and typed 👍...

Yes, we do have all week for this. The times must be in by next Friday (the 17th).

Yeah, I had one of those - I was approaching the mine and found two Escorts had stopped on the stage (I think one of them went off and was collected by the other as he tried to get back on the road). I got past the first one okay, but the second had started up again and we collected each other as we went past the sign on the inside of the left-hander before the mine proper. It was a shame, because I was onto a really good time for that run.
 
Hey everyone. I just joined the forums, and had a couple questions.
1. Do we still have to pick liveries?
2. Is it only 90's? If not do we have enough people for a pro class?
Thanks

I fear I'm too far off of the world records for a competitive time.

Well post em and compete with me, LOL...........I am in the same boat.
 
I submitted my form :). My times may not be as competitive as they could, I went straight to do the runs after not playing for a week or two. Still pulled off some good times, hopefully they will give somebody some competition ;).

Alright, now that there are more entries do you want to either keep the current 90's class only format or change back to the original multi class format?
 
I'd gladly change back, if only I can swap out the Integrale for the S4.
 
I'm happy to swap back but I will also probably change car since the new car pack is out tomorrow.
 
I think it would more sensible to perhaps open another class or 2, rather then fully open it up. Otherwise you're likely to get some classes with very few participants or ones which are clearly dominated by one person due to a lack of competition. I know I haven't and won't be entering, so perhaps my opinion isn't wanted, but just my 2 cents.
 
Perhaps if everyone stayed in the one class, but the class changes for each rally?

We're doing 90's for Michigan, so how about we do something like 70's for Finland, Open for Finland and S2000 for Norway? And when Monte Carlo is released on the 28th, we can do Group B there.

That sounds good, it will give a nice variety while keeping things in order.
