Congratulations to @Doomy for once again winning this week and @nme1 for also scoring a sub 3 minute run, really well done. These cars seemed far more suitable for the road conditions of wales than previous weekâs selection.

Both man and machine needs rest once in a while, but beasts just carry on. So weâre sending those of you who want to continue back to Monte Carlo for a doozy of a track.
Pra dâAlart seems to be a highly technical stage with a lot of sharp corners and narrow roads winding themselves up a mountain. If that wasnât enough once youâre about 80% done the road surface changes to snow and ice just to mess up your hitherto perfect run. To make things even more interesting weâre doing it at night for the first time and just to mess things up a bit more it will also be snowing. So make sure your screenshots also include time and weather information.
Just the one car this week and itâs a noisy one, not sure whatâs going on with it but they should probably take it over to the service area and get that checked out.
As I mentioned earlier I will be taking a break for this week and I encourage anyone to also take some time off. Week 46 is a bonus stage still open to anyone who wants to try it of course.
Thanks! Pretty sure I did the 2:52.409 in the SEAT, but I donât think I posted a screenshot. Not that it really matters since both cars are so similar.
This weeks track is around 7 minutes long so itâll be interesting to see how close we can get our times. Goodluck everyone and good rest for the others
Thanks, itâs been corrected. Though as you said you never posted that time, I had a time thatâs like 99ms or something faster that I never bothered posting myself which really doesnât matter.
I keep glancing over at this thread and wanting to play now, but dammit I said Iâm taking a week off and so I shall.
So I donât have much time to improve runs lately, which is a shame. I thought it was a fun stage this week, definitely challenging. What shall we do next week?
Sorry guys, but Iâm here to inform you of my early retirement. Rage 2âs new DLC is 15 GB and since I do plan on eventually finishing that game and I had almost no space left, I had to delete Dirt Rally (well, I had to delete something, and it was already a tight squeeze installing it to begin with along with all the other games i have [rdr2 is on another drive]) (though I do keep Dirt Rally 2 installed for whenever the urge comes up, so maybe one day in a few years Iâll meet u all in that again)
Welcome back everyone to the winter season of the Chrono Rally league. But first let me congratulate those of you who braved last weekâs bonus round and particularly @Doomy for once again taking the top spot on this treacherous track.

Winter is coming so weâre now going to be playing around more in bad weather going forward and what better to start with than some heavy autumn rains?
Weâre returning to Germany for this week, Kreuzungsring Reverse should look somewhat familiar to you as this is the final bit of Oberstein but weâre starting at the finish line this time. This stage is a pretty high speed track with several long straight stretches where you can really push to go as fast as possible. The rain will complicate matters a little however, at low speeds you might be tricked into thinking itâs not so bad and it wont be until youâre trying to hug a corner at 90km/h. Grip will be lost when you need it the most.
Weâre bringing out the latest and greatest today, at least youâd think that to be the case with the 2010 selection. These 4 cars are remarkably similar in how they feel to drive. The only really âspecialâ mention goes out to the Hyundai, which has managed an interior design that has the steering wheel completely block your view of the dashboard, So you canât tell what gear youâre in, what your speed is or much of anything really.
Although a little late, sorry about that, Iâm happy to announce the opening Chrono Rally League of week 47!
Have fun everyone and drive carelessly.
I end up off track a couple of times on this one, just straight up park the car in one or two square corners and spin out once so this is certainly a time that can be improved upon. Breaking is kind of funny in this weather because it just doesnât work when you really need it, but works really well when youâre already slow. So taking it easy I end up coming to a complete stop, trying to keep speed up I slide right off the road.
I bet youtube is making one hell of a mess out of the rain.
