And Simon WTH, under 1:50 in Ireland??!!?
I didn't expect that result! 1st in production and 7th overall. How the f**k did I manage that, especially with losing a minute on the first Falstone?
Well chuffed with that one, if I hadn't lost a minute I would have been 6th overall. It's all downhill from here though, I can't see myself reproducing that result again. I expect I'll be taken back to school when get on to the loose surfaces.
I enjoyed my run in the Evo, but the tarmac is not my favourite surface, I'm happier on the slippery stuff. However, this was a nicely designed set of tarmac stages with plenty of variety and most challenging. Probably almost impossible for the RWD guys though.
Thanks to Rick and Senad for their organisation.
Agreed. Bergheim was especially a very nice stage to look at, as well as drive on. And to a relative newbie to RBR i thought the Tarmac mod stages were a whole lot better to run on than the 'Normal mod' Tar stages. The car just feels a bit more planted for some reason, hence why i stayed on the road a tad more often than the last round...
I feel exactly the opposite from you but for the same reasons. To me it feels like the converted stages have way too much grip---so much that it makes the car incredibly jerky and unstable. Any time you land the car at an awkward angle or hit a pothole crookedly, it instantly grabs the road and forces you to go that way. Any time you manage to break the rear out of line at high speed, it instantly catches the road and my counter steering throws me off the outside of the track. I struggled quite a bit on the converted stages, resulting in my going into tortoise mode to keep out of a tree. To me the handling characteristics on default tarmac stages are much more predictable and, although I've never had the opportunity to shred up the rural one lane roads in a WRX in real life (alas, some day), natural and realistic..
And if i did the 43s, 44s or 45s i was doing in practice i would of beat that wrc car
Sion you beat me for 5s...!!! Hope the next round should be like that in times, but with the tiny difference of me winning ...Ahh they joy of provisional results! My bad for jumping the gun, happy with that! Still need to improve a lot tho!

God, you maniac. What's the difference to you? The shorter rear end of the Subaru? Or got some setup trick for Ireland?
Or you can download his replays, and see that it's not really that much talentWow.
Natural.Talent.
Lol, i thought i had a great run... until i saw your times! Ah well, at least it was a fellow Scot doing the business up front!
Yeah, I think we scots know a bit about bumpy tarmac, especially here in Ayrshire where the council don't really seem bothered about the road surface. I had a really good run and I enjoy the tar. as I said I'm sure you guys will teach me a lesson now we're back on to the loose stuff
