Late last night I remembered that I had to drive today to even get the rally done. And with that I lost time for preparations...
SS01 - Slow and steady. I never ever try to go fast on this stage.
SS02 - Painfully slow. My first time on the stage in rain, and I did only overshoot once. At the house-chicane at split 2...
SS03 - This one was better, though I still struggle with predicting the grip in wet conditions.
SS04 - Felt more slippery than the previous one. I am too careful in wet and damp conditions.
SS05 - That's more like it. Don't think the long gear ratio really suited my driving style, but it was a respectable time regardless
SS06 - Got an early reminder of why I hate this stage when I spun after 300 meters, and was facing the wrong way between on the narrow road with the fence on the outside.
SS07 - I keep forgetting that the 3L on the hilltop ain't a 3L... Plowed the cornfield instead...
SS08 - At least I didn't get lost this time. But this is a lousy stage, it does not suit me in any way at all...
SS09 - Overshot out of the tunnel. Why is this stage slippier than the wet ones? Ding it!
SS10 - This one was a lot better, I felt like I could really attack here.
SS11 - Dropped off into the steep ditch within the first kilometer. The stage is nice, but the performance was not...
SS12 - Gave it all I got, and got a good time. I was maybe too careful at some places, but overall I am satisfied with this stage.
Overall I am displeased with the rally, there were only 3 stages I felt confident enough to really attack, and that is not enough on a 12 stage rally.
No CFH or DNF should hopefully put me in the points again, but my aim for a podium was totally misplaced here.
Sorry for the negative post, I did not get in the groove at all today...
