CMR2 Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo

The biggest problem is situated behind the wheel. :D

No problems at all with the car's reliability, but speed wise it's crap. :\ The car's wheelbase is too short which results in the back end always trying to pass the front. I've tried it on gravel and it's not too bad on that surface, but I have to get used to it on tarmac. The Focus, which I've driven for years, wasn't so nervous. But on the other hand, if it happened in the Focus, it usually caught me by surprise and I'd go off. Whereas with this car, I KNOW it will be there, so I keep it in mind. On snow, same problem, but it's not such a big downsize as you're going sideways anyway. On the quick stages it's very enjoyable to drive, but not on the twisty ones, like the shakedown.

And I really didn't get close to my 3.08 again, not even in the Cordoba. :( I don't know what I've done yesterday, but it must have been very good because there's no way I can do it again.

The tool Marcel gave me works wonderful :D

Now a change on submitting rules guys, when possible please don't alter the names of the sheets of the timecard(18 stages, 20 stages and Montecarlo), also when writing your name don't write your team name or something else. This isn't a rule, so I will still accept timecards with "mistakes" but please do it that way as it will save a bit of time.
Actually the only rule is that starting from Rally Sweden, I will only take timecards filled with the xls file available on the yahoo group, only special cases where user might not have Excel will be accepted for using PM's. any questions ask it here, for this rally I'll still take PM's but if possible send me the timecard please.

Now another thing where your voting is needed, as stage-by-stage times will be available much faster than before, please vote to:

- Still get the overrall results on Wednesday and the stage-by-stage times the next day or on Friday.
or
- Wait until I do the stage-by-stage times on Thursday or Friday without publishing the overrall times before, so it kinda makes more exciting to look at
the stage times without knowing the final result


As for Will L time, sorry can't take it... 2:41,xx is breaking the records! and with wet tarmac tyres, that's kinda impossible

Never mind Will's time-AI doing a 2:44?

Something is amiss here...

I'll give it a go in the 206 tomorrow. :D

Ummm I think shakedowns should be done in our team car, teammate....

There's no AI, 2.44 was his previous record.

I'd prefer to have stage by stage times at the same time as the results. It makes it more exciting.

The other screenshot clearly shows a 206. ;)

And I was just having a go in the Seat because it's supposed to be faster, I wanted to see by how much. I've done my rally in Suzuki, not the Seat.

That was the very same reason that I made the change to Ford last year!

..that, and the fact that I got my hands on a very high quality blank skin :D

Jso >> Sorry, but I still don't have Excel, so I hope that you will still accept PMs or perhaps emails from me.

And as for the stage-by-stage question, I'd prefer to get the overall result on wednesday (or when you'll have the time) as I don't always go to check out the stage-by-stage.

mmm gotta get meself into gear, you blokes are setting awesome times! I'll post mine tomorrow...
