SS1 - started slow and struggled for grip. Had no major events.
SS2 - made small damper changes and immediately started to have better feeling with car. Though the time was still little off.
SS3 - I tried to drive as fast as I could but I still think it was a slow time. Only major event was that the gearbox went to neautral after K left.
SS4 - I had atleast 3 misshifts where it changed down two gears instead of one and I had really scary moments then. The time was seriously slower than the shakedown. I still can't figure out where I lost those seconds on the third split. 1st and 2nd split where OK'sh but 3rd was a disaster.
SS5 - I had near accident when I entered a corner too fast and nearly got caught in the snow banks.
SS6 - started sloppy on this one and had a off. On a fast left I hit the inside corner and the car was sent off. Luckily it landed forward direction and could get easily back on the road without hitting anything. I was very lucky there, I could really have written the car off.
SSS - had better feeling than the previous one but I was still looking for great rythm.
Overall I am happy (as always) that I finished the rallybecause I was sometimes very close of going off(and once did). I really hoped for better times bit I guess it wasn't ment to be. I wasn't quite happy with feeling of the car. Will wait for fellow competitors times...

Just finished the day....
Went better than expected since i have almost no experience on snow. On SS1 i spinned 2 times and in one of them the car shutted down.
SS2 went pretty well.....No crashes just a clean drive and the car was feeling good.
SS3 was quite bad because i was going fast and eventually hited a tree and i had only 2 gears
Overall not a bad day!!!!

I've been spending times on setups, and am beginning to get the feeling the most benefits are reaped with time spent on diffs.
Would everyone agree with this?
Who could Imagine the final round of this season, to be my 1st retirement?
Rally Finland Is over for me as I had 2 lethal crashes (gearbox damage)
In day1 (ss1 + ss3) and according to rules, one super rally per day allowed,
so retirement was the only way for me...But there's some more!
I retired from Rallysprint too, as after an off, my wheels got so damaged,
I couldn't keep It straight and make It to the finish...
Too bad, because I was waiting for this snow event so badly...! :(
Good luck to the rest of you all...
Don't know about everyone but I agree that difs define the character of the car(more lock more stable, less lock less stable car). As it affects mechanical traction directly (so does suspension but not so much).Quote:

Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had one rough rally. Seems like this could be a real car breaker. I wouldn't have thought that.
I've just finish day1.
Really pleased with my run had some very fast splits...
Fortunately no problems with the car so continue to day2 with a lot of confidence :)
Complete my rally!!
I'm very pleased with my times.
Hope for a good position in championship :)
