Well, I was very tired because of the last few days (I travelled a lot, more than 500 km), and I haven't got enough time to practice so much (last week I only tried the 2 BTB stages & Bisanne 2), so I haven't expected a top10 result.
My main goal was to finish the rally and stay on the road as much as possible, and of course, take care of my Fiesta.
SS1: did a mistake, that mean my engine started to lose cooling from meters to meters, so I have to take care of shifting to not to overheat the engine.
SS2: I have to take care of the engine, some little slip-off from the road, it was ok
SS3: this time my Bisanne 2 run was clear, no big mistakes
SS4: it was good too
SS5: it was as interesting stage for me, I don't like so much these kind of rallycross tracks
(btw why was it familiar for me? I mean somewhere I drove on this track (maybe in DiRT1?) )
SS6: not so fast (but so slow
), I had a spin and a slip-off from the road, but I could stayed so close on this stage to Oscar's time (the difference between was less then 10 seconds)
SS7: I really like this stage, only made one mistake, fortunately I could continue
SS8: once hit the tree, some little mistake, but it was ok
SS9: nothing special, one off from the road, ok
SS10: I was starting to think that 'It looks like I get away from the retirements' - when I enter into a medium right turn with high speed, and on the other side there was a wooden barrier. I tried to hit the back of the car to the barrier, but somehow it hit the front of the car, too, which meant that my engine blew off. First retirement
SS11: I took care much more on the car this stage, so I didn't do huge mistakes
SS12: one spun, but it was ok
I was a little bit wondered that I only had one retirements; this rally could be one of my best finish here.
It looks like the tactics what I used on the Hungarian championship's ADAC Rally Deustchland round, was worked well here too: I didn't take any risk, I was a little bit slower/stage as usual, but I only did one huge mistake.
I would like to thank for the organisers for this rally (and for let me to join on Sunday instead of Saturday), and for Oscar & (especially for) Kevin for the close battle during the 12 stages.
Good luck for everybody & congratulations for those who completed the rally!
