Alrighty then, here we go. RDRC round 1 as updated live by me. Here's hoping I've practiced enough and the Corsa is good to me...
SS1 - The short stages have always been favourites of mine, and Karlstad is no exception. 1:30.xxx time, which I'm exceedingly happy with, and no big mistakes.
SS2 - Kaihuavaara is a stage I enjoy, but I never seem to get a perfect run. Mistake at the first hairpin was a blemish on an otherwise good run. 4:11.86.
SS3 - Never been a fan of Sikakama, but its fast and flowing nature can be fun at times. Only trouble is when you DO make a mistake it bites hard. one or two major errors ruined an otherwise good run. Still no damage (touch wood!). 5:53.22.
SS4 - Mustaselka is also not a favourite, but can be fun if you don't overstep your marks too much. a 5:26.85 run, but could have been at least 5 seconds faster were it not for a spin and running wide at one of those pesky medium rights. Beaten by Mr. Buckley!
SS5 - Hell yeah, Falstone! one of my favourite stages in RBR. One of those stages where if you're careful where it counts, you can just lean back and flow through the stage like it's a flat out run! Fun on snow too. I ran a 4:03.5, beaten to the post by Keegan again, but I had fun.
SS6 - Uh oh, Sikakama again. Well the run wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I felt within my limits and the car was obedient. 5:47.92.
SS7 - Karlstad take 2! Running so many fast stages meant that this stage's tight and slow turns caught me out a bit. 1:32.85, and ruined the finish - wasn't able to save my replay!
SS8 - Ugh, Dead Head. The grip on this stage makes little sense to me, but I pushed on through and set a 1:20.20 stage time. Onto some more fun stages!
SS9 - Falstone take 2 didn't go as planned. Crashed the car into spectators at the first bridge, and rolled later in the stage. Dismal.
SS10 - Autiovaara was a shambles too, thanks to the damaged car from SS9. Limped home with a time of 3:45. Keegan beat me by 1 second!
SS11 - Dead Head take 2 was better. Was on top of the stage and ran faster than my last run by about 1.5 seconds. 1:18.69.
SS12 [POWER STAGE] - Kaihuavaara again, and I was satisfied with how I took this stage. Messed up right at the end, but overall happy with the end of this rally. The hairpin didn't take me this time! 4:07.52 and beaten by Keegan once again.
Total time as copied from RSRBR is 43:46.37. Now let's see how I stack up against everyone else!
