So... it's a bit difficult to choose what car to use here. It's really not long ago since we used Rally2. At the same time, we've used Rally1 a couple of times so far. It also seems like they might not be the most popular cars. So for the Rally Sweden edition... we will use WRC2.

Finished in one go yesterday night, but first figured out how to access the skins behind the first one (by unplugging wheel and using keyboard ...). Picked a nice Skoda skin and off I went. First stage was great but then stuff happened, as in: rolling over, getting lost in the woods, hitting a spectator. Only the very last stage was nice and smooth again. So, bit of a rough ride, but alive and kicking!

No time set this week. Rage quit after getting a puncture shortly after beginning SS2, previously rolling in SS1 didn't help the mood to proceed.

Edit: ^ Kudos to Roy Magnes, still went on after having to repair a puncture right on SS1.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

On the very limit timewise for me! But I will try to make it!!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Ok. So you need to post the time before the rally ends. Good to know!
I also got a puncture on SS1. Other than that, it was going really good until...

Arrived in time to see the last stage stream (can't use chat, neither wanted to distract).
Darnit, you still started the last stage ~3m before the event was over, but it still didn't allow to post a time (you'd end 12th overall, doing quick math). Unfortunately, iirc this behavior didn't seem to change since DR2, and it's worse now as dnf entries don't even classify by the end.
Next week will be better

It's good to just double check how it is though
I guess I got too confident when I felt like I nailed the very fast bits of the Åsnes/Hof-Finnskog stage, as it was after that I made my mistakes

you still got 4p, though, so if this had been a championship run, it would have still been worth a little.
