I'll start the ball rolling;

2:34.68 Impreza.

Surely THAT can be beaten

 

Easily my dear chap.

2:31.22 Scooby, first attempt.

Cheers

Ian

 

2.32.26 first run with a pug 206... *hmmm* ...needs some work here.



Cheers

/J

 

I never said you could beat it by THAT much.

RIGHT! I'm off home to practice

blubs

 

Hmmm, I need to practice a bit here.

I did around 2:45 last night, although I did visit the scenary a bit and I'm playing with a manual gear change for the first time.

Chris.

 

2.30.39 - Pug 206

Let's get cookin' fellas!!

Hello! Cheater here, back at work.

2:30.30 Focus

J,

Who does wear the trousers in your house mate?



blubs

 

err....she?

 

Mmm 2:45:15. Something wrong here....

 

The gofast-pedal is on the right.

/J

 

blubs is snowed in today, but he has asked me to post up his latest. It's 2:30 something. I forgot the last bit, but I think it's 30 something. More later!

Geezer

 

*hmmm* practicing when he really should be working...that could be described as cheating, especially as it's a "timed" event...we've only got a week to battle this out...besides my missus is starting to give me grief when I'm in front of the pooter.

/J

 

Had a few minutes to spare before the missus came home...

GOOD LORD,

Best I can do is 2.30.92 Seat

Any attempts at betterment have resulted in misery within the first 10 bends.

Hats off to SecretAgentMan.

 

Wahey!

That is one fast little car...no grip at all, awkward to drive, but fast.

2.27.81 - Seat (fuggin strange car)



/J

 

Still warming it up 2:41:58 Focus
Allan

 

I'm gonna go blag the disc off our kid and then you'll see some crap times!!

Are we allowed to use the lancia's etc or is that cheating? Secondly can we change setup?

Bob

 

I've just come back from our kids, left the disc there, didn't see any point trying! My best attempt was my first, in the focus, 3.05. Pete's best was in the Delta, 2.42. I've passed the challenge on! I'd just like to point out I risked life and limb on a fifteen mile snow covered round trip for this!

Any body willing to disclose their setup/cheat?

Bob

PS It's probably a stupid question but can anyone beat 54 secs round Suzuka short on F355 challenge?

 

Bob,

General rule is current WRC cars only but you can change as much as the setup as you like.

2:28.45 Fairly modified Corolla

Damn, I got some work to do.

Cheers

Ian

 

Phew! These times are amazing!

2:29:64 Seat.

I don't think I'm going to get down into the 2:27 range

Still time tho' !!

blubs

ps What view is everyone using?

 

Bonnet view, manual gearchange. An old Logitech Wingman wheel with paddle gearchange(non FF).

 

I'm fairly new to CMR2 - still using auto change (hence best time of 2:46 on France SS2).
I use a Microsoft Force Feedback wheel but could not see how to get the gear change onto the paddles. I can't get used to the change on the buttons on the front of the wheel.
Maybe I should dig out my old ThrustMaster wheel complete with gearlever.

Any suggestions?

Simon

 

Hmmmm............I seem to be the only person using the chase-cam view. I have tried the bonnet view and after many practice runs I could not get my time to within twenty seconds of the chase-cam view.

The car seems to drift all over the road and you can't tell when the wheels are on the grass!!!
I might give it another try tho'.

blubs


ps Simon, if you open the options menu and choose player 1 controller you can alter the buttons you use to change gears in one of the menus. Hope this helps.

This SEAT is seriously fast...

2.25.99

/J

 

This is blubs's secretary again. It looks like the Secret Agent Man is going to take this weeks challenge. The blubby one only managed 2:26:41 tonight. He might shave a tenth or two off that but only if he cuts down on the kebabs

 

J,

I hate you.



Another sweat ridden night behind the steering wheel

b.

 

*lol*

It's mutual B...

I'll be at it tonight again...can shave another second off it...if I have to.



/J

 

right...

after the p*ss taking I got from SecretAgentMan last night on chat, I went at it like a loon half an hour ago and can't get below 2:26.9 in the seat. Haven't tried the other cars though..

so... I have to ask the question again, what set up chaps?

I've been using..

Gears, left 1
suspension right 3
power left 3
brakes left 2

I tend to lose patience very quickly, so rarely perfect (or even get close to perfecting) setup.

Maybe we could do a complete rally competition in parralel to this one for those of us that don't have the patience for blasting up and down 1 stage?

Cheers chaps

Simon (I hate being slow!!!)

For the nonbelievers out there...



Have a nice weekend fellas!

/Jerry

 

Nice time Jerry well done, my best time at the moment is 2:35:09.
Out of interest the best time for this stage on
