Well that was a challenging one, and despite retiring almost half of the stages, I had a good time:
ss1: Went well, driving for the first time since Round 4, noticed how I had missed this!
ss2: The stage got skipped for some reason
ss3: Slow pace, but happy to drive with no mistakes
ss4: Really having fun, improving 10 sec from the first run.
ss5: Quite a scary stage for me, but made it with no mistakes.
ss6: Pleased with the driving, again faster than the first time through.
ss7: First time I drove this stage, was cautious but still went in the bushes once.
ss8: Quite hard for me with the fog, and a shame since I carried too much speed before a 3 right, just 500m from the end. The car hit the nasty barriers and the engine went in flames.
ss9: With intermediates it was a slow trip up the hill, but great fun! Had a moment on the first hairpin of the downhill, when leaving the main road, but made it to the end in one piece.
ss10: Felt that I started with a fast pace, maybe too fast as I clipped the one and only tree 400m from the start and killed the engine again.
ss11: Hit an inside wall and stalled, plus broke the gearbox in 2nd, the car would not go further.
ss12: Halfway through had too much speed on the tightning 5 left, managed to avoid hitting the cameramen there but then hit the mountain instead. Engine dead again.
ss13: Hit a tree at the beginning, I am feeling that I have lost it by now...
ss14: Managed to finish this one, nice to finish the rally at the finish line at least
Thank you to the organisers for putting up the event once again, and good luck to everyone on this round! I am happy to be leading Rallye Terre de l'Auxerrois
