Can't wait! The hype-train is in fact, a very real thing.

#hype?

Now it's getting interesting...

Ole Marius Myrvold · Jan 14, 2020

Regarding future events. The club will run Monday through Thursday. It's just a combination of me going on a weeks holiday (and not bringing a laptop or anything with me) and the wish to get this going that causes the Gr.A event to be a Thursday - Sunday event

Did the rally yesterday, great to be back in action

This is my first stage of the event:

Neilski · Jan 19, 2020

Completed it a little while ago, in my first spin in DR2 for 5 or 6 months. I just doubled my total playing time in the game! (Yeah, I've not been too impressed so far to put it mildly.)

It was good fun, despite me sucking soooo badly.
My times weren't helped much by my PC giving me grief (it turns out that Asus Z170-A motherboards don't like fast RAM and XMP mode, and this manifests in crazy sound problems; not a happy bunny right now) and my decision to try and 'improve' the situation by hibernating to change RAM speed in the middle of the rally and then resuming, cos my wheel FFB stopped responding and remained like that until I'd got to the next service point and restarted DR2 entirely. I rediscovered how hard it is to drive with no FFB other than that stupid spring force, which I couldn't turn off in software and was too lazy to turn off by pulling the plug...

Aaaanyhow, it was all just a shake-down run for the upcoming rally season, so no worries!

Sounds like a hoot

Regarding that, I also didnt touch the game from 13th of May until around 2020, idk what's been done in that time, but the game feels better now than it did then.
