Well my Rally went about how I expected, I really struggle on the USA Stages. They are great fast flowing Stages, very much fun to drive, but I just can't seem to clearly see the road on these and a small error in putting a wheel on the edge does some horrible things.
I certainly did some terrible things to my poor car tonight, the poor Lancer looked like a battered old hulk from the scrapyard after a few stages, but somehow she battled on to finish each stage.
At one point in Stage 2, my co-driver informed me (as I bounced high into the air over a high speed jump) of an impending fast right, which I considered much tighter than that, but the only problem was that I was airborn as I sailed over the crest. As the co-driver groaned away while we tumbled violently over a cliff, I yelled at him "Now you tell me !!!".
What a great guy he was though, he just went on calling the pacenotes again and took no offence at my abuse.
Good to have Toby and Chris join Rick and I on TS tonight, sad that Toby was disconnected by a power failure at home after Stage 1 though. :frown:
Well done to Rick for trying to fly the Aussie flag, but he didn't have much competition from the Aussies tonight.
Now to dream up something sinister for the next Rally, but it might be time for a Spanish influence to celebrate their World Cup victory. :wink:
