Rally - Battle of Britain - Monday 15th & Tuesday 16 th October 2012

I have noticed in the results that Magnus has driven in the wrong car, the Ford Focus 2000, but his chosen car was a Citroen Xsara. :confused:

Yes I know, and I feel sorry, wasnt on purpose. I don´t know how it happend. I choose the Citroen at the menu, but on the starting line I found myself in a Focus - and felt very uncomfortable for the first 3 or 4 stages as you can se from my results. Big punishment to retire from SS2!
Found some speed and comfort in the latter stages.
 
Righteho, what a rally.
I thought I should choose the Skoda, considering I'm working with one currently.
I haven't done an RBR event in quite sometime, let alone ever used the octavia, so my efforts weren't up to scratch by a mile.
Anyway, here's how it played out.

SS1: Very slow in this stage as I haven't played RBR in weeks :O
Car is..interesting to drive, a few interesting qwerks.
SS2: First corner, hit something invisible in the middle of the road, and the engine died. Bizarre as I've never encountered that on this stage before. Kinda annoying but I'm not doing this rally to win it, just need to practice after spending time with that mistake of WRC3.
SS3: Still bumpy as hell, but thats why you gotta love Harwood I suppose :p again took it slowly as it was quite slippy.
SS4: Fairly clean run, very slippy indeed. Crazy amounts of throttle control needed for this car in these conditions though.
SS5: Very cautious and slow, as I don't know Falstone II that well, let alone in the dark. very interesting physics still, almost comparable to the Delta S4, just with less power :p Its quite fun actually.
SS6: The car handled brilliantly in this stage, until I misheard the 90 right Intersection.
SS7: Slowly through Harwood again, no mistakes though which was good.
SS8: Kept messing up the hairpins, which lots me loads of time, super bumpy with that car too.

Great choice of stages and conditions, made it incredibly interesting to drive with.
As always, I love these type of events because it makes you choose a car you maybe haven't driven before, and is great for variety.ank you to all who set it up, it was very enjoyable.
is wrc3 any good?
rbr would kick its butt
it looks arcade like
 
Arcade is too strong a word for that :p
Its really sad to see how lazy the developers got with it, as there are too many mistakes that I can be bothered wasting text with haha.
For example, every group b car sounds the same, and the historic cars (escort and pug) also share the same sounds. total cock up.

But everyone to their own I guess. there are a couple of okay things about it, but personally I think the WRC license needs to go to someone better.
