Congrats to all class winners & podium well done!
Overall it was a good rally for me, no major incidents a couple spins and the odd rail ride but no damage.
SS12 cost me big-time, i had 12sec on Garbor going into the final stage and chose the wrong car setup gravel instead of tarmac, Garbor finishing 5sec ahead, sob-sob :frown:
With not much testing on the wet stuff i really had to drive cautiously and concentrate on increasing my braking distances while keeping in mind brake lock-up & gradient changes. Downhill in the wet is nasty stuff when your trying to bled-off speed (woah horsey!)
Rick & Gabor were really putting the pressure on through out the rally, but luckily i kept my cool were i would normally try and match and take more risks. So i was glad to finish were i did but more glad that i stuck to the plan of not deviating from the pace notes, regardless of what i saw in front of me or what i remember of the stage. This has been my undoing many times especially in the wet.
Lightning pace there Nigel well done!, watch-out team love & hate!
Thanks to the RDRC crew for putting on another good round, see you all soon.
