Nice one Ramore, next season our Subaru team :)
Marcel finishes rally GB
this was again a great rally, we just love these stages, they are so technically demanding, it's a big challenge to get them right. We had some good stages and some bad ones, but overall we are with our results. The weather was sometimes difficult with pretty much fog, but luckily we know these routes very well. We would like to thank subaru for this great year, the car wasn't always as perfect, but at least we had a lot of fun.
Completed the rally - no major problems to report. Ran wide on a few tighter bends during slightly wetter stages but I know these roads very well so the fog during day 2 wasn't really an issue.
I'm hoping we can improve on the last result in our home event but we'll see. Now the event has passed it's time to move on to winter testing with the Stobart team and hopefully pick up a full-time drive with them next season :up:
Wales Rally GB was a most difficult one for us. Without shakedown just improving setup during the race. Day1 was in quiet tempo, but some light crashes were done in the afternoon. We were focused on good result in day2, but it was a desaster. Stormy a foggy weather all the day, except stadion stage crossed our plans. Anyway, we are pleased to join a few rallies this season and we look forward to next year. Probably Skoda will not be able to support us with a new car, so the Ford Focus should be in our hands. Our new car will be presented soon.
Day 2:
Wet, wet, wet again! And didnt it slow us down. Too bloody slippy on mud, gravel and everything else! We hit just about everything, posts, hay bales, trees, walls and the roundabout!
Nah just a crap weekend we tried to set PB's, but the harder we went, the worse it got. I think management have had enough of our wrecking and we have not had an invite to the end of year party. So I think we will be looking elsewhere next year. Sorry Ford, it's been a tough year...
Javier, you have mail.
I didn't start. No time, and not like this awful rally.
Our rally was about 60%-70% wet :( but we did set some respectable wet times.
Just a few points needed to secure 3rd in the championship :)
Any body willing to share setups?
I used default settings for gearbox, suspension, and drive ratio, -3 for brake bias, and +3 for steering (I'm on a PS1 with a wingpad)
Sure! :)
Gearbox 1 to short, or 0
Suspension 3 to soft
Gear Ratio 1 or 2 to front wheel
Brake 1 to front
Brake ratio 0
Steerig 2 to high
