[Zieman]

This ought to be interesting... :cool:
Thanks, kip! :up:

[Zieman]

Drove a bit with the Group B Lancia on Rus 1 to get a feel of the car...
:OMG:
What a ride! The car is insanely fast! But make a tiny mistake and it BITES!!!
:drive:
To have some idea of its speed: I instantly snipped 3 seconds off of my all time record on Rus 1 (that with Subary '99 of WRC mod). And the run was full of mistakes. :OMG: I think that sub 2:10:00 time on Rus 1 is reachable, even by myself!

[kiplali]

The first time I drove the Lancia was yesterday afternoon and as you say it is mighty quick. Likewise I was able to knock seconds off my best even with a few crashes. I semed to have missed the release of this car. Trouble is with all of the new skins that people are making for GTLegends and GTR2 anything new for RT soon gets pushed off the front page.

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

same here. I drove the Lancia 2nd time yesterday and get a new stage record at Rus6. My run was full of mistakes too.
For me the Delta is a little more tricky to drive than the 037 EvoII.

regards Matra-Rancho

[Zieman]

Uh-huh :)

Here's my Rus 6 w/ Lancia Delta.
Driving granny-style, IMHO its all about control with these beasts (gr. B).
At least I couldn't stay anywhere near the road if I tried to push it... :D

Milk on the move.

[richard]

l see someone has had a look at a replay already.

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

this car (Delta Gr.B) kills a gamepad driver...:D

puh, I made it. From my first run to this last one I get my time 50 seconds down. Cows on the run.

looking forward to the 2nd stage with the more relaxing cars :).

regards Matra-Rancho

PS:
PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY REPLAYS UNTIL AFTER THE LEG HAS CLOSED
I'm thinking about how people which cannot read are able to download a replay. :nono: Don't do this, please :nono:

[Midi]

I think i'll leave the S4 for the second stage. Now struggling wich A car i would choose.. :)

[richard]

Some one is still looking at the replays, despite Matra-Rancho message of DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Some one is still looking at the replays, despite Matra-Rancho message of DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Isn't there anyway to make it visible who was looking at the replays?
Like you can make all the voters in a poll visible or something like that:)

[Midi]

I took the Mini.

animals on

[richard]

Cows on.

[kiplali]

Moo's on.
I went for the Saab although I had a quicker time in the Mini it decided to do a bit of railriding!

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

:argue:is this: PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY REPLAYS UNTIL AFTER THE LEG HAS CLOSED too hard to understand???

For the unconvincable person: :slap: + :chair: + :slap: + :chair:...

??? Matra-Rancho

[kiplali]

I really like this car:up: Here's my attempt with goats or whatever on.

Kiplali

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

here is my best run with the Mini. Hope I could save 1/10 sec. to Midi and Zieman...
Mountain goats on the jump...

regards Matra-Rancho

[richard]

Goats about.

[Zieman]

Here's my Cortina run, muflons about.

Blew half a second faster run in the last corner :banghead: :P :D

[Zieman]

Damn, morons still downloading replays when told not to!!! :argue:

I already asked admin help to remedy this problem, but so far nothing... :(

[kiplali]

Leg 2 is now closed

Kiplali

[Zieman]

Ouch, that half a sec cost me 2nd place! :OMG: :banghead: :bounce:

Well done Matra-Rancho, and of course :trophy: to Midi for stupendous domination (almost makes me wonder if you forgot to uninstall WRC mod first... :P) on both stages!

[kiplali]

Congrats to Midi. :up: I almost posted a time for the Lancia for Russia 6 but gambled that it would give me a better overall time on the next stage.
A very close fight between Matra-Ranco and Zieman.

Whilst l was talking to kip on the phone yesterday about these downloads, and l ckicked on kips download to see if you had to be logged in to download it. ( l was not logged in ). lt gave me the option to "save, run or cancel", l cancelled but on refreshing the page it showed a download had taken place. This would account for kips one download. Can it be made so that you have to be logged in to download, that way it might be easier to see who is doing it.

Great race. Thanks.

[Zieman]

Can it be made so that you have to be logged in to download, that way it might be easier to see who is doing it.

I quess it can be done. Don't know how much work it is though. I've asked for it, but so far no answer in any direction.

So far we'd probably better just upload our replays spot on the deadline, not a minute earlier.

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

wow, what a thrilling race. Congrats to Midi (the one and only Alien) for his impressive win.

And thanks to Zieman for blewing his fastest run :D.

regards Matra-Rancho

[Zieman]

Rubbing salt to the wounds, eh? :D

[Matra-Rancho]

Hello,

salt? wounds? me? :o - No, never - only a little drop of Tabasco, maybe :D

regards :evil:Matra-Rancho:D

[Midi]

Thanks guys :)

I put my aim to under 2mins with the delta, and finally made it after lot's of crashes.
