Finished the rally yesterday, but no screenshots this time

SS8 saw a clean run in a clear sky an a new PB, on SS9 I had a spin and afterwards I drove a bit to safely.
Before the service I had a good SS10 without mistakes and arrived satisfied at the service.
SS11 was pure fun, a fast stage without mistakes and a new PB.
SS12 then got my feet back to the ground as I hit a tree & rolled over... Lost the rhythmn a bit but got through without any more mistakes. On SS13 the fun came back and the Lancia was flying up the hills...SERVICE!
The last 4 stages are so awesome! If you get into the rhythmn and your car has a good setup you can have so much fun!!!
On SS14 I set a new PB. SS15 saw one spin - seems I was a bit overexcited there... SS16 and SS17 were amazing again and I managed to hold 3rd place in 4WD- class so far. alex_chainho was 1 sec ahead of me after SS16 but I managed to drive 4 sec faster on SS17

Needed a shower afterwards...

Thanks to Ole for his driving tipps in the magazine, they helped me to have a fantastic rally at Sweden!

That's just him trying to get you to drive faster

Ye, on the evening between day 1 and 2 of Rally Sweden, me and @Roy Magnes found ourself visiting someone Roy know, that had a house...cabin...garage...something in the middle of the forest. Anyway, I was talking to one of the guys there who had done a rally as a co-driver just two weeks earlier. He felt that the driver was driving so safe that he changed every "minus" in the notes to "plus" when he read them. And many other corners he decided to just say one number higher, just to try to speed up the driver slightly. They finished so I guess it didn't harm them too much ^^

It's a fwd 2,0 litres 16 valve engine. about 230hp. Full adjustable suspension and h-pattern dog-box.
Onboard video (remember we don't have pacenotes. Codriver just reads the road like he sees it):

Awesome!!! And easy as you can share a laugh with your Co

@LuMue no pace notes? u mad bro?

I get it, you drive with all assist on. Brake help, steering help, reset button... Or do you have one of those rewind buttons in that escort of yours?

Nah, after I missed the onion I was trying to cut, and went through half of my nail on my thumb and into the finger I've not been able to do any rallying

Nice, it's like the local club rallies here in Sweden, there's just junctions and hazards marked in the roadbook?

Rewind is only WRC-saga inventions

**** game. Off course I have all assist on are you mad? only restart button didn't work

And for Bogani yeah there are all juctions and hazards places on roadbook. So not so much to do if you are a co-driver in "dark rally" or "blind rally". But in the 70's it's was more common to drove rallyes that way because there was about 50 special stages.
