I'm afraid I have to correct you there, you ARE getting faster, Tannat ;)
I took a look at the results of rallies held on the in-game Greek stages in the past two seasons. In 2006 on the Acropolis you had a time of 48.28,17 on the first two legs combined, in 2007 you took 48.21,76 (in both years you were slower on the mirrored events) and now in Sardegna you set 47.50,52. That's over 30 seconds faster for the event!

But it's true that there have been several faster drivers that have stopped competing. However, compared to last year this stage of the season the competition looks a lot healthier. Then only 6 drivers, now 16. Marcel and Homer are in a class of their own, but it looks like the group behind is bunching up and getting bigger by the rally. And you were quickest of that bunch in Sardegna :)

Cheers on the fine research (how on earth did you get that skill? :laugh :)

This is the first year I went really softon the susopension-and it made a difference!

Last year I drove with a manual tranny-mistake. Could have been faster.

Think I had a big off the previous year (ah memories).

yes-I was top of the midfield, but just barely. NOR is doing a fine job of keeping me honest :D

Cheers, kabouter!

I tried a few runs with auto transmission and really didn't like it. So I stuck with using manual transmission. On these gravel rallies I like to keep the revs low, and the computer clearly doesn't agree with me on when to shift up or down. Maybe that says my driving style is wrong though...

If you're interested I'll try to contact Magnus to see if he plans to return to competition or has retired from the sport for good.

I will do my shakedown using the 206 on the premise I hope to be in your team before the rally end.

Thanks you, kabouter.
