Did the first 2 legs last night. Interesting rally so far:
SS1 - well originally I did this as the default tar/gravel by mistake but then realised my error and did it again on gravel. It's a nice stage on gravel with some tricky bits but you just use your head and you get through ok.
SS2 - Normally people write lots of things about how terrible their run through this stage was but this time my was brilliant. Well, it didn't start so great. About 2km in I heard the call for the Left 3 into Right 3 (3's are mediums in normal RBR notes) but couldn't make out the turn until it was way too late to brake, anyway I changed down quickly and chucked the car in but still went in in 4th gear - I slide wide on the left part but the outside bank neatly bounched the car around and I made it through the right part without even lifting! About 1km down the road from that on the switchback section I went into a corner a bit too wide and slide into the bank which caused me to roll slowly but it landed straight onto it's wheels and away I went. The last half of the stage was brilliant though as the setup of the car really worked and I was just throwing the car into the corners and really having a fun time. I was sorry when the stage ended.
SS3 - Bisanne turned out to be much tricker than I thought it would. I realised almost straight away that the notes were as good as useless on this one, calling way faster than it was possible to go through the corners. So I drove on sight and memory of the stage and still went fine.
SS4 - The Japan stage was tricky and I did have a spin but otherwise it was a good run.
SS5 - Greenhills II turned out to be more slippery than I remembered it but I settled down and did alright. Had a big scare though when I went wide into a right corner and had to dive left to miss hitting a big tree straight on. Bounced over a few banks and got back going again.
SS6 - The French stage went very well, clean and fast - I think I did a good time through there.
It's not in my email inbox :confused:Quote:

Did my final leg last night, and it was almost a complete disaster. Mineshaft II was terrible, had to call for help 3 times, twice cos of mistakes and once because a left junction call came impossibly too late and I slide off the bank on the side of the road. NewBobs went well and clean but some very close calls, rolled in Greenhills and had to call for help and the final stage was clean so overall not bad, but my Mineshaft II time was over a minute slower than I managed in the thick fog on the Sasol.
I'll be away for the weekend so I was thinking of doing all the rally without any breaks later today...Though your reports have quite scared me Bruce! :D
Sent my times already....
It was a fun event for me, I really like the Australian stages, very fast although technical on some places.
I didn't have any major drama, but got some big scares in New Bobs and Mineshaft II because I was pushing very hard, perhaps too hard and luck saved me. Some bumps could have made my rally but fortunately I managed not to crash.
Looking foward to the results.
