Finished my runs last night. Was a good event, first and second stages went very well, but I missed a junction left on SS3 (very late call from the other seat) and slid into some badly placed spectactors so lost time there and then spun earlier in the stage too. SS4 was ok and SS5 went fine, but the time didn't seem to be there and I'm not sure why. Anyway, finished so I'm happy.

You are quite aggressive on the Oz stages, Bruce..

It is so easy to get sucked into the speed of these stages. They flow very nicely, then you are hit with a key right or left, or a decreasing radius turn and you are off in the trees...

I'm not In a good shape lately! This was another bad rally for me!
Very long and exhausting stages with many mistakes and East West II
probably the worst performance so far In SAiRC!
After a point, I lost counting off roads! For once more,
Australian stages prooved themselves the most demanding stages In the game!

Here are some photos from the event:

Yeah they suit my style of driving and setup so it works well. Speaking of decreasing radius corners, there was one in NewBobs that nearly had me, went in and I thought I'd scrubbed off too much speed but I was actually bang on line for the exit but the note said nothing about tightening. Actually I found the notes on East-West II to be too fast of the corners so I backed off a bit there, the crash on Newbobs II was just bad pacenotes, and the spin was my fault so I'm not too unhappy.

Macd, I've noted your change. Thought it would be interesting seeing 2 N4 cars going for it.

@ LCD, hehe, that last pic is what I call corner-cutting big time!

Yeah, but you don't want to know the result of It...

OK, sent in my results.

No major drama at any stage, everything went quite smooth.
But I don't know if it was fast, I took it with some caution.

Still a nice rally.
