I've done all stages now.
First one I lost left front tire with about 2 checkpoints left, so I had to limp home.
Second stage was a return to my nemesis, Greece, so I activated Granny mode™ and drove really slow so I could at least finish this time.
Stage 3 played safe, no major accidents or blowouts. Replay included.
Stage 4, another night stage (oh the horror). I lost one headlight when I hit a tree. Later I hit a telephone pole, but I managed to turn the car so I didn't smash the lights. Shortly before the last checkpoint I cut a corner too close and hit a damn bush which took out my last 3 headlights, so the rest of the stage was pretty dark.
Stage 5
Stage 6
All videos include replays. I love replays in this game.
(I found a trick to throttle uploads in Chrome without a third party program, so now I can upload AND use my PC at the same time)
(Sven, when I do edits, there are no empty lines between my text and the videos, but as you can see in my post, there is a lot of empty space around the embedded video. Is that easily fixable?)
Can we please get 1 retry per stage next season? Also it would be nice to be able to adjust the setup. I tried the mini on stage 5 and I was maxed out in fourth gear 95% of the time.
Then we can share setups and people can learn from others.

I like the replays and thanks for taking the time to upload them Jonah. Its just a shame the game has limited external camera angles as these are my favourite. I'm sure somebody over on racedepartment created a camera mod for replays but the results, although better, were still limited. Worth checking out if your into creating replays though.
Fuck this shit. Three punctures in fifth stage, lost rear part of wheel or whatever that British fuckass told me. Apparently there's no option for simple co-driver hints? I get so annoyed by the audible space all the 60's and 80's take up, when what I actually want to know is the next fucking corner. Now. Fuck off with your 60's and 80's.

yeah he talks too much. I just need info on next corner and cautions. Hard to focus on driving and listening at the same time.
Also, as soon as I can upload stage 6, you will see why I would like us to have 1 retry per stage for the next league.

I will look into it. I love the external cams also, especially the drone and chopper cams. I have no need for the cams that look at the side of the car or a wheel. It would also be nice to be able to save a replay so you could go back to it later if you really want to make nice replays.

I did find an external cam mod, but if you use it, you can't play online or save setups. So that's a no go. :-(

Just found another one, that seems to be usable online. Will test it out.

Just drive without, ok if you dont know the tracks it can be hard but there is no confusion anymore... Just focus on the track and there are often small sighns at the road that show you direction of the next corners, kind of simple hints.
The copilots are the most useless part in dirt rally... sadly.
