I just did Monte, and despite the limitations of this Club system, it was enjoyable. However, both myself and
@Georgeagea have had issues uploading our times on SS7. I believe this to be due to a time limit set by the dev to upload the ghost, and our Third World internet is not uploading the info fast enough. Both he and I have the final time recorded, but we had to do SS8 in quick mode. I made only one attempt including some errors and even damage, and will record that time into the club spreadsheet for our SS8 time.
I browsed the leaderboards and this seems it will only be a problem in Monte and a couple others, basically the rallies that have very long Epic Stages. So to avoid this issue in the future, there will only be one Epic Stage per rally, and it will always be the Power Stage. That way, although the system doesn't record our times of SS8 in a couple rallies, just by giving up trying to upload, the game shows our time in the Club, and by recording the last 30 seconds of gameplay we can have our times recorded.
It's an unfortunate turn of events, but given that this dumb system lets you quit a stage and then do it again, I guess it's the same as just going through the Club. Fortunately I only forsee this happening in two more of the twelve rallies that are left.
I don't see any other way to deal with this. Hope everyone here is OK with my solution. I assume no-one around here has time anyway to be spamming Epic Stages trying to be "better" than the other six guys in this league LOL.
