CMR2 IRC Rali Vinho Madeira

[tannat]

If you've got tarmac withdrawal the remainder of the IRC season should take care of your needs......

This classic asphalt event takes place against the beautiful backdrop of the island of Madeira. The mountainous route is lined with flowers and has spectacular views at every turn. The curvy and twisty course is made even more treacherous by steep drop offs and the threat of unpredictable weather.

My home event

[jimakos]

Day 2 will be extremly difficult!
Italy stages are a nightmare and with storm weather I don't want to think about it

[lcd]

Finished shakedown! Fastest lap: 00:48.28

I love those narrow and twisty roads, so Madeira rally Is going to be
a very spectacular event! Of course, being spectacular, doesn't always
mean being the fastest too!
Event's tip: the less breaking , the better times!
General settings: lower suspensions, stronger brakes, short gearbox!

Tannat, I'll try to finish the rally 'till Friday, 'cos I'll be away for a few days...

Hope to end my pointless (literally) run in this series so far this year, in Madeira. It would be fairly demotivating to be left without points and less than half the rallies remaining. To be top S1600 in the Attilio Betegga Cup, I need to put get up to 6 drivers points. And thats assuming Zes doesn't return to the series.

[tannat]

Got a 47.78 on the laptop.

May go faster with the PS1...

[lcd]

Finished the rally, earlier than expected!
Day1 was pretty good - though I don't consider myself as a tarmac expert!
The grip was awesome and I tried to use brakes as rarely as I could!
Couldn't say the same, for stormy Day2 :
Slippery and very dangerous, so I didn't push very much!
I hope stormy weather, don't bring stormy results too..!

Rally finish to Olca Team Madeira

Day 1: Perfect Setup, which gave us a lot of confidence. Tried always to maintain concentration and a strong pace.

Day 2: Made a few changes on the car suspension, brakes, and tyre choice. Felt realy confortable on the wet, and again tried to pushed as hard as possible.

In conclusion, It was a very nice rally on my favourite surface (tarmac). We managed to pushed hard without any serious mistakes, and also set some PB's.

Belive we did enough for a podium....but the competition is getting tougher by the minute.

Good luck to everyone
