I quite enjoyed this Rally, but I found the car to be a bit twitchy and not easy to get used to. I ended up using Nigel's setup which I thought was better than the one I posted. It didn't ride the severe bumps as well, but overall it was more stable in controlling the rear end. :thanks:
This was an unusual car, and I think might take a while to get fully comfy with it, so I would have liked more time for some practice. However, I took a reasonably careful approach to this one and it seemed to pay off.
I made a few very silly mistakes early.
Frazier Wells, I stalled the engine on one of the high speed turns and had to virtually slow the car right down, drop it into neutral, fire it up, and get going again. No damage but cost me some time.
Hualapai Nation, I was going full revs on the looong uphill section, and as I came to the braking point I looked at the gear indicator to find I was driving in 4th for ages instead of 5th. DOH!!!. :facepalm:
Had a very lucky eacape on Cote d'Arbroz, crossing the red finish marker backwards and half way down the hill on the left, but it counted my time anyway. Oops!!
We again had a good roll up in the OC Session with most of us on Teamspeak again, thanks guys, it really adds to the fun.
Hopefully see you all next week for another Club Rally.
