Did the first loop with asphalt tires, and spun twice on the asphalt... And hit a solid guardrail with some people behind, giving me an auto-reset. But on the final 4 stages it went a lot better, I took snow tires for those. Do not know what would have been faster for me there, though :geek:
 
I did a trial run. Asphalt tyres were great on stage 1, mostly OK on stage 2, and a total horrific disaster on stage 3. I think the latter stages were pretty much winter-tyre stages too, given that you only get to choose tyres at stage 4 and 7...
Have now run the first loop for real, setting a rather slow time! :D
 
ouch, was slowest of the ones not DQed and already making mental notes for press conference after finish when I hit an ice patch towards the end of the second to last stage and - poof - over the wall into the forest, a classic Tännak. Over and out. Enjoyed the stages a lot, haven't really had time to play them since I bought them some months back, brought back some Dirt Rally memories.
 
Darn, I better get on with finishing the rally! Ooops...

Btw, I'm confused about the DLC rules with this flipping game: I bought "DiRT Rally 2.0 Deluxe Edition". Does anyone know if this means I get all the DLC that has been released so far?
 
Finished!
Was slow, slow, slow just about everywhere, but then bizarrely I got a green split on the last stage(!!). Does this mean I had the fastest time for that split? :O_o: Very confused now, cos I was mostly losing 3-6 seconds per split, LOL.
And yeah, the stages did remind me just a wee bit of the DR1 stages... :whistling:
 
Green split means faster split than the guy that set the fastest stage time so far.
The stages in DR2.0 ARE the stages from DR1, just reworked!
