Play nice. If you're able. If not, stop clicking on show ignored content.

Guys, this is a Rally Club, not a stadium for ego battles or name calling.
Respect the "spirit" of the Rally Club please.

because the car kept veering towards the right, very strange

I've had that problem in testing as soon as I start. Glad I'm not the only one

Since I drive a FWD in the championship, I figured I should at least shoot for a top 5. Well, I didn't practice yesterday and one day off felt like a whole week off.

SS1: Slow, but could be worse!
SS2: My favorite stage of the rally (tied with SS8). Not to good; bottom out on the last jump caused a spin, no damage but bad time.
SS3: Ugh, such a tough one! The rear wheel just hit the loose as I turned into the first chicane and I spin like that! At this point I tell myself you can't get that top 5 so just try to have fun.
SS4: Fun stage, like most of the Spanish stages. Some mistakes yet a new personal best.
SS5 & 6: I can't imagine this car on gravel and neither can it. The wheel is slanted to the right, but I think everyone has that issue. Runs were better than I thought.
SS7: I didn't think I'd get thrown off by having the wheel centered! Twords the end I touched the brake pedal and I spun. No feeling.
SS8: My other favorite, I half spun once, then again but this time I hit the tree, damaged steering, so I quit.

I just can't seem to pull myself together for these club events. It's too bad because the stage selection was excellent. Thanks to all running the event and good luck everyone else!

And I'm glad it wasn't my wheel

there's something weird with the physics of that car on gravel that makes it move to a side

, but the tarmac physics make up for it

it's a blast to drive in peklo. Philippe would be proud .

Here is the pic of the skin I made and the link for the car again:

Roy Magnes - Roy Magnes - OC

Could I have an 20:30 GMT session tonight instead? I was just called and have to go to work earlier than I planned today, so I will miss the only session I had time to do

You are stretching the friendship Roy, but how can we refuse when it is your Rally.

New Session OCT starting 20:30 GMT Tuesday added.

EDIT: Don't expect prompt resuts though, poor Senad has a GTL league Race to concentrate on first. And then he is entitled to some sleep.

Silvio Cro · Oct 9, 2012

Well rally donr for me... Like older posts here... The choose of the stages was excellent but the car...

...oh my god... In the gravel i felt the slight push fot the right (i thought that my gamepad was broken lol), a really bumpy car... Did some mistakes (spins, CFH, wheels damaged) but with no retirements...
Amazing Malaga stage, i loved it...

Best luck for the rest of the drivers...

Senad Subasic · Oct 9, 2012

Have a bit of a headache, so missed this one.

Sometimes I just hate my working-hours

Had a problem with the cash-guard end-of-the-day-summary, and had to sort that out before I could leave... And then I was 20 minutes to late for my own final session of my own rally...

Next time I'll create a rally with a car I really hate, so that I won't mind missing it all together...

Overall Rally Results

Congrats Fernando, Manuel and Timo

Stage wins:
Fernando Agapito: 4 stage wins
Manuel Samaniego: 3 stage wins
Jani Nylander: 1 stage win

Thanks to everyone who joined, thanks to Warren for setting it up, and thanks to Fernando for the podium presentation.

Please let me know if you notice any mistakes.

Warren Dawes · Oct 9, 2012

Grats Fernando, chalking another one up.

Well done Manuel and Timo for the podium.

Stage wins shared (as expected) between Fernando and Manuel, but nice to see Jani steal one from them (by a whisker

).

More red ink than I would have expected this time, I guess this car had a few little quirks that took some getting used to.

Big welcome to Riku having his first Rally with us, hope to see you regularly.

Thanks again to Senad for his Results Admin (sorry to make it more work this time with so many Sessions), Damien for his neat Banner, and Fernando for the Podium Graphic.

Huge thanks to Roy for designing this one, such a shame you couldn't make it to drive though.

See you all next week, no hints this time.
