CMR2 Rally de España

Rally completed. I didn't really like these stages before, and I still don't like 'em now... Most fun I had was in a thunderstorm on SS 9. By far my best stage of the rally sliding on the wet roads but never going off or hitting anything.

The first four stages of the first day were ok, but then the usual problem on this rally popped up. The frame rate on my PC drops so much after a few stages that the car becomes undriveable. And on SS 5 precision really is needed... So from there on there wasn't much fun but I stuck at it, and completed the event. I think I'm only going to compete on these stages again when I have a new computer, though.

Will complete my rally within 12 hours...

deadline extended to Thursday 15:59 GMT

now go and rally and stop doing less important stuff like thesis work or taking care of children :p

I'm certain the programmers got a few laughs when they put that one in.

Yes, that's probably the biggest trap in the game. When you miss the junction and come back, there is still two roads to choose. If you again choose the wrong one, you have missed the junction twice...

It's a pity you can't edit the pacenotes. I would certainly add word ATTENTION!!! here.

Zes, why change the pacenotes? That's why we like the Rally, it throws a wobbly at ya every now and again! Remember the dry creek in Kenya after the long straight? Gets me everytime..

Yes, that may be true. In my opinion it would be nice to do my own pacenotes and see, if I would get any faster. Seems like I don't always agree everything my navigator tells me... Sometimes I would like to go faster than he tells me and sometimes he just forgots to warn me from of something.

Pah, co-drivers, what do they know...Just feed 'em Red Bull and a few brave pills and they soon settle down. I nearly had 1 abandon me on a Rally this year just because I hit his side of the car after a 120 mph spin. Jeez...

I remember that there was a game in which you could actually edit the pace notes, but I can't remember the name of that rally game. It was a long time ago. Does anybody know it?

Just submitted our timecard-not our best go at Spain. Off pace, and a little rain...
