sperger, I don't seem to have it anywhere. Maybe just PM me here with it. Besides, closing date is today and I've only got results for NeverKnow so far.

Rally Portugal complete! Just sent In my time card!
Leg 3 was fine; A smooth run of Mont Herman V4 and a frustrating
Joux Verte II, which despite Its high difficulty, I enjoyed very much!
The final run of Portugal SSS wasn't as good as Leg's1 run, but
overall, I hope for something good to come out of this event...

Hope you like It!
It's good to see how other people drive the stages, the contrast of driving styles. One going completely sideways, the other keeping it tidy. According to my measurements you were 1 second faster on the downhill part, though keep in mind using a stopwatch to measure time is never very accurate.
Joux Verte II, was a hell of a ride! :D
Love the stages where speed Isn't everything! ;)
NeverKnow, I find your analysis of that section interesting considering I know who "won" that stage between the 2 of you.
So far I've only got your guys results (thats 2 so far) - at least that was a nice dice for the lead. Surprisingly the Mont-Herman stages weren't the deciding factor for a change. Maybe you boys have been practicing!
Stop the teasing man..! :DQuote:

Just finished all the stages and I have to say it was a big challenge specially on both Mont-Herman stages. I made some avoidable mistakes and I think there is not much chance for a podium.
Times already sent.
I've just sent my times in. I'd like to say it was enjoyable but it wasn't as I didn't get a chance to practice so had to drive all of the stages blind. SSS1 was OK, I managed not to hit any barriers and got round in 1 piece. SS2 wasn't too bad but I couldn't get the hang of the surface being so bouncy. SS3 was a bit better and better than I could do in snow due to improved visibility. SS4 :( , SS6 I amazingly managed not to kill the car despite spending most of my time dodging trees. I did kill a few spectators though who obviously hadn't learned from my last trip through there. Leg 3 started OK then went downhill fast. I got into a decent rhythm after the first sandy bit of SS7 but then lost the plot with about 6km to go. I went off a lot and ended up finishing very slowly but in one piece. SS8. I couldn't get the hang of the amount of understeer and went through a fence when I got onto the top road which I tried to reverse out of and got into a right mess. I lost a lot of time because I had to be recovered. I tried to make up the time and went off into some trees and broke the gearbox. My first DNF. I think i hit every barrier in SSS9 so my time was a lot slower and I got a puncture which didn't help the steering much. I was just relieved to finish it. What's a podium?
Top three finish.Quote:
