My times are In! This rally had Its ups and downs... Very happy with my performance In some stages;because of this heavy Itinerary, made more mistakes compared to other rallies. The French and Japanese stages were In the spirit of the event. My eyes are on Macd for this one!
Posting some photos Monday morning! Good luck to those still racing!
I swear there are spectators standing in unapproved areas on Pribram R! :angryfire

ss6 accidents

Just submitted my times.
Wish I had done them before going to Bega Rally on the weekend as a bit sore after the crash we had.
All good though, struggled a bit on the French roads but felt at home on the Canberra roads.

Just finished my rally. It was little more eventful than I would likes and this is how it went.
I planned driving carefully on the first stage of the day one but still managed to had a spin. Also there were spectators standing in very dangerous places forcing me to drive very slowly occasionaly. I really likes the second stage - fast and flowy. On Bisanne II I tried to get into a rhytm but couldn't. Bad notes didn't helped either but luckily they were consistenly 2-3 gear higher so could adjust my driving to that. I had a slight moment on the downhill when I tried to brake too late and I had to get the car 90' to the road to avoid crashing.
Second day started ok'sh when I tried to stay on the road and go as fast as I could. On Greenhill II I had surprisingly low level of grip and I had a slight off when I got understeer when exiting a corner. Lost maybe 5 seconds because of it. SS6 went without incidents.
On the last day I also had few moments. Mineshaft II I drove as fast as I dared but I was more focused keeping the car on the road. SS8 went well until I had a spin in one of the K left near the end of the stage. I cut the corner too much and the car spun off the road and I had to reverse to get going again. On Greenhill I also had a half spin when I went to gas too early. I possibly lost about 10 seconds on SS8 and SS9 combined. The last stage of the rally went ok.
I thoroughly enjoyed this rally but result wise I don't know if I was fast enough to compete for the win because the mistakes I made. I'll upload highlights of my rally little later.
Everything okay with both of you?!Quote:

The first half of East-West was the best I have ever driven on that stage, but the second half was completely out of order, lost me at least 10+ seconds. Mineshaft II went okay, and so did NewBobs. I'll post the videos a bit later. Much like Neverknow, I also had surprisingly little grip at Greenhills, very weird. The car was sliding everywhere.
Here are some pictureand footage from SS8.
Yeah we are both a bit sore, went into a tree sideways at about 130kmh or so, hit B pillar. Bent cage and moved my seat.Quote:
