OK, you can download my movie from sweden SS3 on wet tarmac tires, the stage time was 1m22.45s. As you probably notice I ran it in non-mirrored mode, as I was testing for sweden.

Will Dismayed At First Works Drive
Young English driver Will has expressed dismay at his performance at the opening round of the 2008 CMR2 WRC.
The Briton, who is now driving for the works Subaru team in the number one seat was visibly angry after completing day one in the mountains.
"You know the tarmac up there is bone dry, so many hairpins and trees and we hit so many walls and it was just pants really. I hate this rally anyway so not got my hopes up now. It's over before it's begun."
When the rally moved south for the snowy conditions, the tyre supplier Pirelli made a shock annoucement they had no studded or ice tyres for this event, and so all competitors opted for Wet tarmac tyres. This made the rally incredibly slippy for everyone in the field.
"It's crazy out there, the banks are only just keeping us on the road but I still was pushing out there so hard. I hope I got some fastest times in there, I'd like to think I did but the conditions were terrible and the car was sliding on every corner. Mental."
Mirrored or not that' still great driving....man I was so happy with my Sweden times but that is something else!Quote:

Marcel, you've exceeded your data limit, we can't see it. :(
Can you mail to me? Than I can put it online (I have plenty of space left). Address: infoArallyfoto.be ;)
I also uploaded the video elsewhere. There were some problems with my own ftp...

Finally I have time to report my rally:
Day 1 was not so good. The pace was pretty ok, but almost on every stage I did some stupid mistakes. But I am satisfied with my driving, though not with my times.
Day 2 was relatively good ( I have no idea how I did, I was all over the place). I was trying to drive exactly like Marcel is driving ( btw I saw his video after that) but I couldn't do exactly what I wanted to do. I can't wait to compare my times with you. Anyway it was fun.
I hope I can score some points for the team ( Will don't be mad at me if I don't).
I won't be mad :pQuote:

Jso1985 finishes rally Monte-Carlo
"It wasn't a bad debut run in the new C4, on day 1 we knew conditions were going to get worse on day 2 so we pushed a bit more but that actually caused us to make some silly mistakes, on day 2, well... everybody knows I'm hopeless on snow...
Getting some points was and still is our goal for this rally"
No worries kabouter, you actually punished yourself with dry tarmac tyres, testes SS1 with them and I was 5 secs slower than with wet tarmac ones, so no penalties for you.
Results in a few minutes!
