I've been suffering with food poisoning these last couple of days so I was super keen to get through the stages before I had to revisit the bathroom.
All in all my rally was......... unspectacular. I was consistently 5-12 seconds down on the times I've been doing in testing so i was fairly comfortable with the pace but the new car ( evo x ) doesn't really encourage you try super hard like my old N10.
SS1-3 - No real problems here, I seemed to set decent enough times.
SS4-6 - I misjudged the jump in Newbobs and ended up bouncing through the grass at the side of the road, fortunately there was no damage done.
SS7-10 - Diamond Creek was interesting, i.e blooming fast. I don't have the stones for those super quick stages yet. Everything went fine though.
SS11-14 - All good again. Decided to handbrake every corner in the last stage, ended up spinning and then busting the radiator on the last corner but crossed the line no bother anyway.
Overall I think I won the server by just not having any retirements. I am kinda confused by my pace though because it never felt like I was going super quick. I could see me being beaten by someone. Good luck to the guys still to compete, hopefully I've netted a decent class result again.
