Rally - Kit cars - Monday 23rd & Tuesday 24th April 2012

well that was hard work.

I got to say that Fenando and Magnar were just so quick, I don't think anyone was catching them.

I had a decent enough run, was second quickest on Cote d'Arbroz and Shepherds Shield 2 and 3rd fastest on Chirdonhead.
I did have my first retirement from an RD Rally on Greenhills. About 5 corners in my computer took a mini freakout: cue massive lag and me suddenly being in the trees with no clutch, engine or radiator. Frustrating but a retirement was bound to happen sooner or later.

Good luck to the guys who've still to run and well done to Senad for organising it.

Yep, I just realized that . I just tried the car and I've improved my times with a lot It's just the lack of car testing with two car packs to select with.

As long as i stay under the radar and hope Marco don't see this i will join USX session tonight

Joakim Skalstad - Joakim Skalstad - USX

This was fun. Probably my best rally so far. Only one CFH when I was going to safe at SS5. Close battle with Corey at many stages.
Thanks.

That was pretty hard going. Couldn't get used to the car first 2 stages resulting in a DNF on SS2, then got a bit of a feel for the car and I think won 2 of the stages so pretty happy with that! Coming into the last stage having clawed a bit of time back was going well (think I was 0.03 of a second up through the first section!) then pushed a tad too fast and put it in a tree again so another DNF!

Really enjoyied it the especially after getting used to the car. Thanks all

Sion

Small mistake on SS2 and then a 360 into the grass on SS3. I was a little off the pace on SS4 but still going pretty well until I went wide about 200 meters from the finished and killed it. Called for help and was hoping gravity would get me to the finish line, but no dice. The last 4 stages were very fun as well as battling closely with Magnus and Sion. Erik was rocketing out of the gate on every stage too but had some troubles it appeared. Very fun rally. Thanks to all.

Oh yeah really was great fun the little battle we had going on! Shame I put it into the trees on the last stage! Think the previous 3 we were all within about 5sec. of each other!

Well, I just can't drive safe so I usually just gun it and look what happends

I'm gonna try to get in on this one for fun. I'm shooting for the USX but I think it might be the US session... my work schedule has me on the grind, but I think I can fit this in.

Alone in the USX session atm..

well.. i will let James May comment on how my rally was...

lol Joakim.,, tried to make it, but it's not gonna happen. won't make the US session either.

Sorry guys, going to have to sit this one out
was going to join the US session but something came up >_>
will be there next week for the next round (unless im free later and may join the OC session)
good luck everyone!

It was a good rally for me just a few mistakes.... Looking forward to seeing the results.

LOl !! Classic comment Joakim, probably sums up most of us in our Rallys.

I hope to be home for our next Club Rally, but it will be another "Senad surprise" event. I'm almost redundant now.

Crash fest!! Absolute crash fest. Obviously not talented enough to drive unfamiliar car on unfamiliar stages! Decent first stage with Mike80... then the Peugeot thought it was a cow, and proceeded to eat trees!! Way too often! Hungry bovine. Crashed out on three stages. Bugger.

I find FWD, so difficult!! Never know what its going to do? Obviously need some practice.. but was awesome to use a high powered one in a RD Club Rally.

Thanks Senad for organising! Congrats to competitors for finishing!

Cheers,
Andrew
