Hi!

I'll take part this event, and i'll try to do my best, except god has a different plan with my result! :)

shakedown:

00:56,04 almost basic setup, only susp -5, and brake 1 step to front

good luck to Everyone!

shakedown:

Susp -5 :eek:

Holy Cadillacs, Batman! That is SOFT!!!!!

I did my run with susp at 0

[cyborg_hun]

I need a soft suspension to make the grip better, and less the slidings.
I can control the car much better by releasing the throttle in that way.

I hope you can understand, what i'm writing! :)

[jso1985]

but doesn't the car get a bit out of control in the jumps wih such soft suspension?

[Exhausted]

I don't think that it does, I use a quite soft suspention setting too, and you spend less time repairing the suspention this way.

[cyborg_hun]

I dont think so, i dont see the difference!

On the other hand there are much more flat part in finland, than jumps :)

I prefer better controlling on flat surface to end up between the trees.

[cyborg_hun]

Cyborg_hun finished the rally!

It was an average rally full of mistakes.
Day1
ss4 - went off the road, to a tree
ss5 - rain
ss7 - went off the road
ss9 - rain
ss10 - rain,spun

Day2
ss1 - big crash to tree, severe damage, good start :)
ss5 - went of the road

I tried to be calm, and drive carefully, but i couldn't manage it! :)
Thanks to the hungarian rally fans for travelling to Finland seeing me! :)

[Exhausted]

Wov, I had a really good rally, I haven't had much luck in Finland before (you know, trees very close to the road and such), but this one went really smooth and I actually finished the rally with all windows intact..

..now I just to also go fast! :D

[Rat]

Had some fast times in shakedown:
1:03.67
1:02.57
1:04.08
1:01.15
1:00.64
Just couldn't crack the minute mark!

hello
i have been a big fan of CMR2 since the game was released and i have spent thousands of hours playing it.I havent played for maybe 4 years but yesterday i install the game again and i am feeling great.
So i want to try to compete with you guys but i dont understand how that works...
So i must race on stage FINLAND 10 on time trial with any of the WRC cars and try to give the best time ?
How can i prove that i have made the time?
With a screenshot or something else?
greetings

[Marcel Haenen]

Damn, I totally forgot to do this rally before I went on holiday and only came back yesterday night. Is it ok if I finish this rally today and have them in by midnight?

[rumen2211]

hello
i have givven a try to the Finland SS10 and my best time so far is: 00:54:05
using Seat Cordoba with AT.
I think that this stage could be finished in under 54 seconds but i just cant make a perfect lap :mad:

I need an extension as well. Il-sleeping daughter (yet horribly cute as well) is robbing me of rally time....

Could run the rally this PM/early AM tomorrow...

[Ramore]

Can I still send you my times tonight. I was quite busy this week.

[jso1985]

since I only got 3 timecards so far(Cyborg, Exhausted and Rat)+ my times, unless one of them is against it, I'll give one more day for submissions.

Thanks, now I can sent you only the first day, because i just got home (CET) and I will send you my times for the first day now, but If the others don't mind I will sent you my times for the second day tomorrow before noon CET. If that is not ok with you, just include my times for the first leg, because I just want to compare my times with you guys.

[Exhausted]

Fine by me!

[Rat]

anytime J! These times are getting faster each time we rally. good result though for all.

[Dr_Twist]

After reading the this thread i got board, so decided to see if i was still any good at CMR2 after being a CMR addict for so long.

pulled a 56.88 on shakedown, 1st time i have played the game in about 2 years.

Setup was nearly there, rear end was too wild, needs more work, and kept losing about a second or 2 in the 2nd half of the stage, no idea where i was losing it, i suspect the jump and after as i couldn't get it to flow correctly.

[rumen2211]

same here as Dr Twist
i havent played for 5 years but now i am giving it a try again.
for this particular stage finland shakedown i can say that this is one of the fastest tracks in the whole game and you must be very aggresive to achieve a good time.
my best time so far is: 00:54:05 but i think i can go max 00:53 or 00:52:50 on a perfect lap by my standarts.
you am using Seat Cordoba with AT cause this car is the fastest WRC car in the game,i am using a very soft suspension too and front power ratio.

[jso1985]

stage-by-stage results are now finally available at the yahoo group, here's some rally stats:

- Stage Wins: Marcel Haenen 17, Cybrog_hun 1
- Rally Leaders: SS1-SS18: Marcel Haenen
- A "quiet" rally where the drivers held their final position almost the whole rally with a bit of change in the fight fro 4th place between Jso1985 and Tannat at the start of day 2

thanks for your patience
