Total disasters of rallies today. Off the track and eliminated in Scandinavia and destroyed the car in Wales. Out of practice I guess.

First run on this today. Lovely. Lots of options, very straight laced in all the right ways. And nails hard. I crashed and was way behind time most of the time.

It's taken how long, but we have the mccrae 2.0 follow up.

I came third! Even seeing green on the countdown clock for a bit is a victory.

Love that they've brought back timed repairs.

Love knowing I don't know shit yet, and there's so much more to learn see and do.

Is an in car rez impersonation a known glitch. Did Sweden yesterday and Max headroom appeared to have done the internal paint job.

Yes, I have had that many times. Most unwelcome.

Never had it on PS4. Occasionally it stutters a bit.

Attempted the monthly challenge yesterday. First corner first stage had a massive off and smashed up the bumper and radiator.. now any frontal impact immedeately ruins the radiator so I'm fixing that every other stage and everything else is getting progressively worse.. still.. only another 18 stages to go.

No glitches and had a good crack through my first series. Had a taste of all the areas now. Just stunning. So much going on. Tried my first daily challenge. Wow, mini to 306. Woah. Bombed out on my second daily though. Fuck knows what to do with all the car setting up though. Was barely on top of the 2.0 style sliders and now I've unlocked advanced. Jesus.

There's a very handy tips on the steam forums.. google it.

Basically though you want the gears no higher than half and the brake balance the same (Although I like mine slightly rear biased) but he goes into great depth.

Had a mechanical failure after 14 or stages of the monthly.. I just couldn't stop losing the entire radiator every couple of stages.. must be group B fragility? and so everything else just went tits.. I can normally keep everything on my '10 Fiesta within about 90%.

I'll have another crack in July *rolls eyes*

So I'm about half way through the July monthly challenge and hovering just outside the TOP TEN people!

I'm sure it wont last until the end but I'm pretty proud of that.

No, One shot. 14 stages into June when I got mechanical retirement. Makes it super tense.

There's 24 stages, released in batches, But you don't have to do it one go, It uploads times per stage, and will even record the time and upload next time you're online if  you're not online.

You have to have an elligible car in your garage and you there's no restarts, So if like me last month you damage the radiator first corner of the first stage your on the back foot for the rest of the event.

Otherwise much the same as the career. Set up is allowed.

Each batch of six seems themed to a country. So you'll do four countries over the month. But you've got chance to get into your groove. Plus you can change set up every two stages, seemingly without effecting the amount of time available for fixing the car.

Indeed! quite the squeak when that finally dropped.... 

This is VR'd today. Now the Vive has SteamVR supersampling resolution boosting witchcraft I'll check it out later.

Played a bit in VR - great fun, a very cool and informed conversion to VR, and thrilling as hell when you have a decent bit of driving going on, not that this happens much for me i'm terrible at it. Crashing is annoying as hell. Time to get some skillls somehow

VR is very demanding on a system, even with some of VR advances seeing the light now like asynchonous timewarp and single pass rendering and wotnot. I'm not expecting to see any typically hardware-challenging games for the ps4 being supported although the settings on the pc version to allow a great deal of control over the experience, so maybe with less visual prettiness it might work just fine in VR. Anyone with an OR CE or HTC Vive though are really in for a treat. Using the DK2 is fun but I know it would be so much better on consumer headsets
