Aw, dang. You stole my spot in the Focus! Ah, well, let's try the Scoobie then, late-Kankkunen style
And - yeah, ENGLAND! Love those stages, doesn't matter I'm not fastest there.

EDIT: okay, just saw the rule about different car, very well then

The driving standard just went up another notch.

Welcome to the RD Rally Club Ramon, hope all your installation goes ok.

 

[Damien Jones]

Aaaarrgh! can't take it any more!
Thought I'd try the Xsara this time around but I hate it
Can I trade it in for a Lancer please?

 

[Steve Emmons]

Trying to get the Ford through the hairpins at Bisanne is like trying to drive a bus through there.
I swear that the wheelbase must be longer than the Suburu's.

 

[Robb Kulcsar]

I wrecked the Skoda beyond reparation and will not be done until Monday, can I come with my privateer Xsara ? I can't get along with Fabia, if anyone wants it and if is possible, I give it away. Thanks.

Seriously? I thought it goes rather nicely, with my heavy right foot in France the main problem was oversteer at the exit of almost every hairpin, it made for nice, sweeping side-to-side action

Car swaps made, this resembles end of season F1 jockeying.

BTW, a tip for anyone new to RBR.

I'd recommend you do a reccy (practice run) through Prospect Ridge II (nasty set of bumps/potholes in the road about 60% distance), and Mineshaft (you will soon see why :eek: ), these can bring you undone in spectacular style.

I'll try the Skoda... Don't think the Lancer liked me much .

Now you tell me... Lost my transmission at Prospect Ridge II.:eek:

Citroen Xsara please

Talking about the mineshaft stage, here's a little taste

Triple WOW!!!! That is an unbelieveable run through Mineshaft. ray:

Anyone who doesn't get that OMG knot in the pit of their stomach over the jump, isn't human. No matter how many times you drive it, it still takes your breath away.

 

[Warren Dawes]

The Pug seems to be rather unloved in this series so far :love-over: , so, what the hell, I'll give it a "spin" and free up a Ford for someone. resent:

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

LOL, today I will start with the driving school.

[Edit] Rally school done

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

I hate wet gravel.. I hate wet Prospect Ridge 2

Yes, this is a tricky one. :wink:

The best advice in RBR (and especially in the wet) is to drive within your control limits. Don't over-drive the car, keep it under some sort of control and be patient. You don't drive these Rally cars at their limit, you find your own limits. You will be surprised how well it goes even though you aren't pushing flat out, keeping on the track is critical, crashes are very heavily penalised. Of course, we all have crashes and sometimes get red ink in these Rallys.
