A pretty good run disregarding SS6 where a 90 degree corner about 8km's into the stage blind braking on the top of the crest after I "Oh ****, I'm allready here". Almost managed to salvage it but went into some trees waiting for me very close to the road. This was where I went off the in my 5th practice run before the event, about 1km later than where the first 4 ended
SS1 - Greenhills:
No real problems to report beside some stupidly positioned photographers in a fast right left section where I came steaming to hot, understeer and went into them.....
Can't remember the time but considering that misstake I was happy with it for a first time with snow on that stage.
Was a bit faster than Simon as I think he made a misstake somewhere
SS2 - Fraizer Wells:
No problems at all to report, went well and didn't make any misstakes beside going a bit to slow over some crests, but for it being my first time on the stage in over 1.5 years I'm pretty happy with the time
Was about 4 sec slower than Simon in his Mini
SS3 - Hygget:
The one of the Swedish stages where I though that I would do worst but I got almost all of it right, made one small misstake when I missjudged the gear I should take on of the corners in and had to avoid one of those famous Power Poles around a farm
Time was good, pretty happy with the pace I had there
SS4 - Tuna:
The Stage where I thought I would be flying and I was flying until I missed it a bit when coming through over the crest where you can cut a bit in a right left, the following braking zone I went onto the grass with the left side of the car and I said hello to the iron fence that stopped me from going down the slope. Lost around 14 seconds trying to get it back around and going again as I did a 180 when I hit the fence.
Frustrated with my misstake I overdrove it and made more misstakes that cost me some time. a 57, I think it was 3 or 4 minutes and 57 seconds, horrible but only 15 seconds slower than my PB so considering my misstakes it was still allright
Simon went off somewhere I think as he was a lot slower than me on one of the Swedish stages and then he got some time on me on the other one, can't remember which of them though
SS5 - Liptakov:
First off, I had some trouble loading the stage and when it had loaded it showed the ground in the sky as well but it was drivable so no worries there
This was the stage that I was dreading as earlier during the evening when practicing I had gone off every time I tried it so tried to be cautious and I think it worked.
Got to the finishline and hadn't totalled the car either so very happy with that.
SS6 -
Ouninpohja:
Was going well until situation explained above happened
For a first outing in the RD club and my first ever online rally I'm pretty happy with how it went
I will definitly be there for more of these, it was good fun, will try to be available when the Norwegians are running so I have someone to talk to between stages, felt a bit lonely at time
