wow pretty much quiet around here!

Here's noise....

Just back from vacation.

You know-that one month break is a mistake-rest of the season is a bit of an anticlimax.....

I'm still here. My internet has been very unreliable over the past few days so I haven't been logged onto the forums. My brother is gone off for a few days, and I need his PC knowledge in order to switch back over from Linux to Windows. Hopefully he'll be back before the deadline. As well as that, hopefully I can sort out those problems I had with the Finnish stages in Russia and actually get a result this time!

Doing this rally to 'get my hand in' after having not driven CMR2 properly for quite a while, not since last year when I tested a lot of add-on cars from the 'net (as well as getting some practice for Madeira).

I'll be using the stalwart Focus WRC year 2000.

Hope we'll all have a good close battle

I have learnt finland like my town's roads

Just completed the entire rally.

Shakedown and testing concentrated upon wether to use 3 increments or 4 increments of 'soft' suspension to balance the level of grip vs. the effect on handling reponsiveness.
It also allowed me to get used to the CMR2 handling again.

Rally went well apart from 2 incidents on SS16 and 17 that cost 5 secs each after hitting trees and spinning, necessitating reversing to get back on the stage, with damage to the gearbox.
I also took a gamble to leave the dry gravel tyres on for SS9 and 10 because the forecast was 'cloudy' with no definate rain, but it did rain and I had to reduce my speed as a consequence.

Hope I haven't got completely beaten...............
Hope I've beaten LCD...........................

(Thanks to Ford Martini Racing CMR2 for lending me the Focus V3 FMC)
