We arrived buoyed by our podium in Monte and set some good times in Shakedown so had a good feeling about this event and the car set up.
Day 1 was long and tricky with some stages in sunlight and others with snow storms. The first few stages passed without incident but on a later stage we made a slight error - I mish-heard a pace note and had to brake sharply forcing the car wide and hitting a barrier. Didn't affect the car but I definitely slowed slightly on that stage.
Looking forward to Day 2 and pushing on to hopefully score another podium. The car feels good but its seems the Xsara and Suzuki are both going well here and we have a number of very good crews in the Fords pushing hard. We'll see how things work out.
Recce'd SS10 this morning-quite a stage! several hairpins and then the flat out section with the 'magnetic' ditch about 1/3 through the stage.
Wish I could take that complete section flat out.....

Hit the brakes when you're past the first house on the left. :)

Nice to see you're setting realistic times. :)Quote:

It was only on my 6th run I got a reasonable time and I was somehow happy with my driving. But it wasn't anything near the times of ukog_will and I_am_evil_homer.
