Welcome to Sweden and the snowy madness! The thread is open and we in the RDRC-Crew are wishing all the drivers the best of luck for the event

 

[LuMue]

Again, you guys make me smile while reading your magazine - this whole championship is so professional...one of the reasons I became a premium member some days ago.
I've edited the Lancia Delta Martini livery with the RDRC numberplates and will give the car a try on the snowy streets tomorrow night...hoping to get your tips working for me
To all of you the best of luck and much fun...
Cheers, Lutz

Someone (@LuMue ) noticed that I had made a small error on the Itinerary, that is fixed now. SS7 is not a Monte Carlo stage, it is of course a Swedish one Correct Itinerary is up now

Times are uploaded automatic, the only thing you have to concentrate on, is to get to the finish as fast as you can

@Ole Marius Myrvold to be mega sure, service doesn't mean save point right? the only checkpoint = save point, right?
again my work will come in the way and have to do the several days hopefully

Uhm, people have been able to save at every service, but when the game crashes or similar, you will get back to the last passed checkpoint.
However - people have also had issues when saving outside of checkpoints, having to start all over again etc. so it is strongly advised not to save outside of checkpoints

Ha, I'm changing internet provider tomorrow. What could possibly go wrong?

Meanwhile, a technical question: reading the magazine for Sweden (Lindgren vs. Lindberg btw ), I see advice about driving in tyre tracks for grip, but does anybody know for sure if Dirt Rally actually models the grip like that or if it's all just the same? I've never detected any hint of extra grip in the dark bits but maybe that's just my inattention!

Everything can go wrong!

Hah, well sorry to Tommie for that, blame it on me being Norwegian or something like that!
They model different grip levels on different types of snow, I have no actual proof that they also do it with tyre tracks, and it might be placebo just for those from my part

Just made it to the first service station. Decided to enter this one without doing any practice for Sweden, but rather just live on my wits and nerves. Had to listen doubly hard to the co-driver's pace notes, but I'm really happy with the first four stages so far

The Scoob's still in good nick and only needs minimal repairs and a wash/wax

 

[RS200WRX Trev]

also in the magazine you have Sweden as the title to final classification, should that not be Monte Final classification?

I think there is a mistake too at Day 1........at the racenet league we see SS6 Björklangen afternoon snow and SS7 Älgsjön Sprint night snow, and not the opposite.......
