I'm up for this. I have DiRT 3 but haven't played it for ages. I don't have a lot of time for gaming at the minute but a quick 20 min sesh on this here and there will be cool!

I'll need to re-download it on Steam too. :o

well, early indications are that i'm not too bad at this game. i thought i;d see roughly what level of AI i could beat after only a few practice runs in the old mini on some finnish rally track, and as long as i didnt crash i could happily beat the level 5s (i didnt bother trying level 6s though)

What settings are you using Reaper? Wheel or pad?

Had a good go at it earlier and was very impressed, such a step up from Dirt2!

I shall draw up some more information to maybe entice some more people in tomorrow and update the first post.
Suggestions more than welcome.

Numbers are looking good chaps! Invite friends, and their friends.
I've updated the first post with the current list of drivers.

We need to decide whether we can allow Wheel AND Pad drivers in the same competition. I think it makes sense to do that, we can easily note times with a P for Pad and W for wheel.

I've updated the first post with possible "rules"... Suggestions please?

I'd be interested in this. I love me some Dirt. I haven't installed Dirt 3 yet either, though.

As for setup. Logitech Momo wheel, manual shift.

Driver list updated with new drivers. If I've missed anyone then please let me know.

Ok, if everyone is in agreement the first race will be;
Rally, Norway, Kantvegen.

What car guys? (Has to be something NON-DLC and available at start of game for us newbies)
Shall I create another thread just for the race and to keep dicussion in this one?

I'd keep it all in here. Nice and tidy then update the first post with peoples times.

Car wise how about the Citroen C4 or the 1999 Impreza?

Everything to stay in here then, we can always move it all out in the future if it takes off or gets a bit cluttered.
I was thinking the C4 myself, so that's what it will be. (Pro Class)

I've updated the first post with the details. Feel free to suggest better formatting to make it easier on the eye.

Gentlemen. Start. Your. ENGINES!

Oh what assists are we having on/off??

Was thinking:
ABS on
Racing line off
Stability control on
Auto steer off
Corner braking off
Throttle management off

should be accessible but challenging.
