Parcho... PARCHOOOOO!

When life imitates art... (Sorry Hyundai, but we did it better – it's a second official win in a row!) 🐌

Murderous, bump-draft addicted fiend. D:

Wow.
Two months ago, in CER, I binned what little chances I had to challenge for the title in the British Rally Championship. Today, I beat everyone in the official WRC club!

What a result. I wasn't the fastest but I listened to the snail and kept it clean. It worked! 🐌

Sorry everyone, we'll try to go one better next time. 🐌

You absolute mad lad. 😂

Waheyyy...! Bit of a shame the number of runners has basically halved, but a win's a win, right?

(Girella sponsor me, please?) 🐌

Wait, was it really?! I can't find any info about it, so if you have an article you can share, please do so – I'd love to know more about it!

I know Domark (UK dev) used Fuji TV and FOCA licensing for its F1 game (aptly named "F1"), but Microprose doing the same is news to me. 😛

From my understanding, licensing was actually sourced from Fuji Television (and FOCA) alone – it's something basically all Japanese devs did back then as it was a lot cheaper than asking it directly from the FIA. :P

This flyer promoting the game is also pretty funny!
"Is this the real deal?"

Special thanks to @kvikk.bsky.social for making me discover @denak.tiggang.org's TGR league, where it all started! And shoutout to @racecaryeen.bsky.social for bringing a woefully underpowered (but beautiful) clunker to P4 in his class.

CIDR 2025 national champions! What a season and what a journey it has been. Who could have thought that a league previously won by actual rally drivers would fall in my hands? Certainly not me – I still have much to learn. 🐌

The GOAT 🐌

Oh yeah, I love fords, too!

Yeah, you have the dgVoodoo wrapper for Windows, but I don't know if there's anything quite like it for Linux. You need an old PC for such games! 😝

Jeez, is that even feasible? XD
The game didn't even have DirectX support out of the box! But knowing the Linux community I'm sure they made it work. :D

I still really like MGPRS2 for the damage and weather model, it was really good for 1998!

Of course you know about the infamous "Green Hell" track from MGPRS2, haha. I think there also are a few mods that cover the '50s in F1 Challenge 99-02, but I don't think those qualify since they're not vanilla content. :P

Fourth overall third place in a row and fifth class win of the season on what had been my worst rally by far 12 months ago! 🐌

Now I just need a 4th place in either of the next two rallies (which are worth double points) to bring the title home. Gotta listen to the snail and not be greedy!

Finally you'll be able to see the huge "Confirm" button when playing EA WRC. 🙃

🥈 Round 2 of the Digital Rally Italia season saw a bunch of firsts:
– First podium of the 2025 season (matching my best-ever result);
– My first ever stage win in a DRI event (by 0.2 seconds!);
– First time leading the overall standings in the championship!

Hopefully we can keep up the momentum. 🐌

Happi birbday 🐌🎂

GOAT (actually a beaver) 🐌

A man of culture, I see.

Don't mind the Dipp, the microorganism is unfortunately notorious for burning neurons to a crisp.

Thank you Global Rally Network for the nice trophy. 🐌
The snail told me to go as fast as I could.
