Walk, you, that would be a first!

Geezer

 

why did nobody tell me about this before???? lol

3:12.43 is the time on my high scores thing so far in a Focus... but I'll have a go at beating that later as I have no idea how good the run was through that stage.

Good idea chaps!

Ian - Does my contract allow me to take part in this championship???

Cheers

Simon

PS. I had a look at the times for italy and i was about 2 seconds off the pace!!!!!!! You're all nutters!!!

You're that SLOW Simon?

DAMN!!! *lmao* Not a big threat then...well then you're allowed to compete.



/J

 

DAMN!

Simon DB has found us

Is that time applicable to SS5 in the UK Simon?

The general rule is that we are allowed to use WRC cars and you have to use a Penny Farthing

Seriously though, welcome aboard!!
Don't forget, only WRC cars allowed. I have it on good authority that a sub 3:10 may be posted later today!!!

blubs

 

Ok, I've been nominated to name this weeks stage as I was the quickest on last weeks (just thought I'd get that one in), even though I was hounded all the way by J !!!

Ok, it's United Kingdom SS5 (I think it's called Dalton?).
It's the first proper forest stage and has some nastily placed log piles !!

I had a quick run througfh last night and I'll start with

3:15.52.

3.....2......1.......GO!!

 

Boo hoo !!

I hate this stage as well, a real bind.

Won't stop me trying though

Cheers

Ian

 

What car did you do that time in Blubs?

By the way, Secret Agent Man was accused of home advantage last week so what is your excuse for UK SS5 then?

Think I might have to give you and Geezer a lesson in committed on the edge over driving the stage tonight!!!!

 

Yeah, where's the referee? *lol*
Congratulations Blubs (bastid ).

That SS is a major pain in the nether regions....englishmen...

Cheers

Ha Ha ha

Stop whinging and get on with it

I just thought I'd put a real ball acher in to test everyones patience.

Max,

206. That time included a large spin into the trees, so I'm hoping to get it down a bit tonight!


J,

That could not have been closer! Great fun though!!

Don't count out Luchertola. He's a mate of mine and though he's a major fool he's a force to be reckoned with.

Blubs,

Luchertola raises a few question marks for a user name, surely Nosferatu would have been closer to the mark, either that or Buster Bloodvessel. , anyhow you have to question anyone that drives with the 'bonnet' view -IMHO

 

3:18:66 - my God, I'm within 3 secs of blubs! I fear his time will tumble rather more than mine though.

Geezer

 

Geezer,

I'm sorry you must have mis-understood.

3:15.52 was my time to walk through the stage before I drove it

 

To make it easier why don't we say you can only use the Impreza WRC? After all this is Scoobynet .


Otis.

 

Good idea on just using the scoob.

Also... how do we go about proving these times?

 

Don't agree with using just one car.

I find that different cars suit different styles (and this IS the Non Scooby Related forum after all )

There's no real way to prove the times other than J's way of scanning a photo of the finish screen (have a look at the other CMR2 Championship thread).

Other than that its down to honesty i think.

 

If it's down to honesty, I just did a 2:01.01

LOL

scanning the finish screen is a great idea.

cheers

Simon

Is that because you need the power of two to get your enormous bulk moving?

Geezer

 

......and your time for Sweden was?



Oh, I'm sorry.....the IBM mainframe is still adding that one up isn't it .

blubs

ps Geezer and Maxwell Straker and coming round to my house tonight for a three pronged attack on SS5 U.K. , (and consumption of vast quantities of coffee and choc biccies).

If anyone else wants to pop round please feel free

 

My first attempt 3:19.21. Well off the pace but a great deal of room for improvement. Not a stage I am familiar but it is one that certainly rewards familiarity. Good choice Blubs.

What racing view do U guys use and are you using gears or auto. Just curious.

Cheers Scott.

 

I just had a quick go...

no better though, will try to have a proper go at it tonight.

Scott
Driver's Eye view
Manual Gears

I actually really like this stage it has a fairly authentic feel..

The last two stages oh UK (the two you get after completing "expert") are the most authentic feeling stages in the game I reckon.

This is what happens when you don't have a single competitive drive for 18 months!!! lol

Cheers

Simon

Actually, I've commissioned 'Deep Thought' to work out my stage time, but I'm worried the operators may turn into mice before it delivers the answer

Geezer

 

I don't understand this either, but I've just looked at my best time on UK SS5 and it's 2:57.68. I haven't been within 7 or 8 seconds on the other times, so don't ask me.

If anyone can tell me how to display the screenshot I can get using HyperSnap-DX you could all see it (except it's using my real initials!).

Anone worked out how to do it? It will save the shot in a variety of formats inclusing .bmp and .jpg.

I'm off now to see if it was an aberration...

 

It was,

Real time 3:18.80

Sorry, I was looking at Italy.

 

Time to get this on then....blubs...it's yer fault me missus is nagging at me.

UK SS5 - 3.08.02 - Pug 206

/J

 

Simon,

Yeah, I'll let you drive in this event, but of course my usual 20% management fee stands

Cheers

Ian

 

oooh.. the pug's fast isn't it!!

3:07.45

 

IW...

Thanks boss

 

.....er, I think I've got some work to do.

3:11.34

With the depressing knowledge that I don't think I can lop much off that!!

I have noticed that all you guys seem to use drivers eye or similar, when I use the 'chase car cam' view. I think I know what I'll be doing tonight!!

cheers (and boo-hoo)

blubs

 

Hrmff... 3:13.13 with the mighty Scoob! Need to replace my co-driver me thinks! ;-)

What's with the rock-hard haybails loitering about the countryside?? *boink*

Last time I was over in UK I think I remember hay being this soft harmless stuff that horses eat... not lethal Scooby-killer-weed!!



...back to practise (tonight)!

 

I beat my last time on my very next run through the stage, but thought I'd save posting here as I was bound to beat it again, but haven't had a chance to play again (and won't be able to today) so....

3:06.91
