First few times i was actually ābraveā and went full speed there and you can guess the end result 
to be fair to the navigator he also says ā deceptive ā along side ābe braveā so yeah. Talking about mixed messages.

The deceptive jumpā¦
The ruiner of most of my runs, it comes so late I keep forgetting about it.

Ok, reposting this now cuz only now did i find some time to finish watching this (read: i took some time while actually not having it), and this frikkinā guy did it again, he beat Dirt Rally 2.0 on the highest difficulty on his frikkinā KEYBOARD after already doing the same in the first one, what a legend. Also, i feel itās a must-watch for all here as it contains quite good lessons on how to drive (@Fragglesā tip number one, lol) and it is also great to hear someone explain so passionately how good these games are.

I was on good way to taking another 15s off my personal best.
One crash in the 6th segment, came out of it with still 2s to spare only to crash again and end up 6s behind.
Used to be rather happy by how pretty dirt rally is, but then you go and show me Dirt 2.0 and now it feels like minecraft in comparison.
Edit: I also meant to ask, Iām considering trying something a little different for next week. Is there anyone who would be greatly opposed to registering for one of those codemaster accounts so we can utilize the in game league system?

Be brave is a lie in a RWD car
In an A/FWD car, yes. Afterwards itās a left 3 anyway and you will spin if you donāt hit it in 3rd gear.
Try taking it in 4th with a bit of brake to put the weight over the front wheels as you turn in.
Sorry about that, it was a rush job since I had to leave and it made perfect sense to me at the time (highlighted time is the right one). Dirt is weird and it shows my personal name in my leaderboards and my steam name in other peopleās leaderboards. Iāll see if I can change it so i can post the full thing in the future.(EDIT: fixed in profile settings) The other time belongs to Vandem as you properly indicated now!
Luckily Iāll have time friday to beat his time and I can be put in the first place after all!
I already have an account (through steam) so definitely yes.

I would create an account and we can do a Chrono league.
I am just being a jackass, but logically you answered the question as if you would be greatly opposedā¦

Iām going to assume you meant smartass.

I am apparently not a smartass for misusing jackassā¦
I just looked up the definition of jackassā¦ I meant as in a jerk kind of wayā¦ But apparently thatās not what it meansā¦

6:20.018 What were you driving, a helicopter?? I was happy with my 7:02.

considering the speed at which my car is spinning sometimes, you might as well call it a helicopter.
And you can be absolutely happy with your time! You just joined and if you keep at it, Iām sure youāll see rapid improvements.

Thank you dude. I use the bonnet view and default setups. Iāve seen that you can tweek the cars performance and handling. Is there anything youād recommend? Also Iām playing with no assists. Should I use some ABS or traction control? Also, should I me using manual gears or is auto/semi ok?

Such a good time. GG

Iām probably the wrong person to ask as Iām no expert by any means. There are plenty of great tips in this thread though.
Regarding my setup:
- no assists, itās just faster
- no custom tweaking (I have no idea what half of the stuff even does)
- automatic shifting (hats off to Fraggles, whoās driving with manual shifting, the mad man)
- cockpit view

I like manual sequential shifting but with the magic clutch aid on so I donāt have to do that. I also use the headcam even though Iām not sure if it might be more advantageous to play in chase cam, I just enjoy it more. @m00 suggested early on I change headcam FOV setting to 0.5 instead of 1.0 which makes everything feel a little slower and I think that might be better even if it isnāt as exciting. The only other aid I have on is ABS, which I figured is a thing that exists in cars for real so it seems like a good idea to have.
As for custom tweaking, I have muddled around a bit with it on previous maps. On the first map I tried to get more stability out of suspensions because I couldnāt stay on the road in the later stages. For Monaco I changed the gear ratios for faster acceleration because I never got the car into 5th gear on that track anyway, so the cost to max speed wasnāt noticeable. For this weekās track though I donāt really know, it doesnāt feel like thereās any specializations worth considering since itās such a varied track. It has plenty of both long straights for max speed and short cornering sections where acceleration is important.
Maybe I could look into the suspensions and see if lowering stability for more speed could be useful. Might allow for drifting more rather than taking everything at max grip speeds.
