Ha ha, was waiting for that. Truth is I bought a dog whip off one of my mates (Mick Denigan, 'Micks Whips') who happens to be the local whip maker and for a few bucks extra he threw in a full size one for old times sake. The dog whip is to put the wind up the dogs when they get a bit too noisy.Are you sure that's the only reason you keep whips around?
Nice to see you finally got, and using, yourself a wheel, now you have no excuse.

Ooh! You've just given me an idea...Same here too, snow and dirt are really not my cup of tea. Plus, I never raced on Chamonix so I decided, being stuck to silver, to give me a little hand, something I never allow myself otherwise: put the driving line on. I know, I know...
Immediate gold, by half a second only. A bit ashamed then, I put the driving line off and improved my time by a big second. Mission accomplished. I feel that I have room for improvement, but I'm just not interested.
Where is the Mr. Burns rubbing hands emoticon? Excellent!! This might be why I am crap at driving in the snow/dirt... I don't know. Of course I expect quite a bit of sliding, but I prefer to slide as little as possible because I tend to then slide into the side barriers and get DQ'ed. Ugh...Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn. I can't stand it!
Yeah. I can't really drift at all but on the mission race with the Audi Quattro i turned the aides off so it would slide better and that's what helped me get gold on that one. It seems easier than actual drifting to me.Ooh! You've just given me an idea...

. Set center diff to 50/50 and try CargoRatt's soft rear suspension - no other tune needed. Fun stuff!
There's just no sense of pride and doing the "right" thing. I get the whole wanting to be "up on the leaderboard", but how about showing some pride and dignity by being "up on the leaderboard" by not cutting corners. I wonder who the first person is on the leaderboard who didn't cut any corners because I would like to send him/her a sincere congratulations on a job well done and on not being just another sheep.
Quattro, 2:12.77 - more rally please
I saw that and thought "hmm let's try that." Hit the berm and the car shot straight up in the air - I stuck to the track after that
) is by an invisible wall, a penalty, or an unexplained slow-down of the car's performance.
NOW this is funny, but was not yesterday and some minutes ago. I keep myself as average driver and my usual level is 3-5 sec behind the top if i try hard. That is my level and i'm ok with it.
I was excited when i saw this snow rally super lap. Kind of for "finnish drivers".
But even I tried it very hard with many different cars and tunes, my best time was 4 seconds behind the SILVER.
I could not understand it. I was so desperate that even tried TC but you know what happened with it.
My car just didn't want to go sideways like rally car should. Also motor sounded felt it has no power and torque was miserable. By now you might already know what was wrong, but I did not, because I never use any driving aids.
Then I suddenly thought to look my own driving from the back view. Car just didn' turn like it should. Not at all.
Then I found it. Bloody ASM was on. No idea how long it has been on and how.
That must also be the reason why my rankings have getting worse lately.
I just thought I haven't driving enough or others are getting better.
That's what sheep do, one does it and the rest follow.
