I totally woke up an hour early, whoops.

Oh well, time for some practice . I tried Kaihuivaara, but for some reason my throttle was malfunctioning, couldn't figure it out. Restarted my PC and tried again. Uh-oh, I'm thinking, is my wheel broken? Well, I went into the controller menu and realized my handbrake was on... I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere.

Good luck to everyone

Well that was alot of fun, apart from when my game crashed at 5.0km through stage 1 which is a bugger as I had already passed the first split. Which is the 2nd time this has happened on a RD event which is odd as it never does it in public sessions. (Is there a fix to this?)
Also the really silly mistake in Bisanne where I went to dip a wheel on the inside to hook the front in and hit the wooden fence of death 0.7km away from the finish and killed my engine in one shot.
I had a problem in Kaihuavaara where I had massive wheelspin and couldnt get it out of 2nd gear, it was like I was driving on slick tyres and inevitably understeered into a tree, but apart from those incidents had a lot of fun with these cars and are great things to chuck about.

A good rally for me, no big mistakes or CFH this time on a very difficult rally. A lot of fun and with 3 other drivers I had a very fun evening.
Thanks a lot guys

SS1 - Fine

SS2 - Dumbest mistake I have made in sim racing. Done for the evening.

I guess that's because you were? As the plugin chooses tyres for the first stage when there are more than 1 stage. Seeing as the first stage was Puy du Lac, I would guess the game chose tarmac tyres, which didn't work out at Kaihuavaara!

Been a while away from RBR, I knew it was going to be hard in this king of conditions to show any speed.

Problems on the 3 early stages (1 CFH and 2 DNFs) I managed to focus on completing the rest of the rally as if I hadn't had any problem and I managed. I was slow as expected and never got in the fight for any stage but all my runs were clean, (until the last one) which is a lot driving a car I won't drive again. Never liked it much, nor the others in the class.

So congrats to the winner, thanks to the organizers and I hope to show up next time as well!

Some of my highlights....... Editing software crashed after I added last clip and didnt save. I couldnt be arsed to add it again so Ill just make another vid tomorrow

 

[Torbjørn Withbro]

Fun rally with alots of small spins By me.. hadnt made a setup for this rally and car had to much oversteer to suit me. Corrected diffs and it was smoother. On puy de lakk i killed a marshall cfh :-(
last stage i got stuck betwin two threes and had to CFH. Had some good fights with the drivers at Eu sessions.

 

[Mike Bell]

Last night was fun, really found my feet in SS4 before making a couple mistakes, SS5-8 were cracking though , Think i even set the #1 time in EUY in SS8 aswell, not bad for having RSRBR installed for under a hour before the start of the session, and not driven a stage in RBR since like May last year

 

[Luka Grm]

So those were all minors in that video, but dont think that there wasnt a major

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Nothing will excuse my lacking skills! But hell yeah, I nearly came through unharmed.
Still had to retire on SS 3; slightly understeered slowly into the trees. Nearly no impact, consequently the engine wouldn't restart ?!?
I did practice and I had fun, so quite what I wanted.

Thank you for giving me the chance to attend @Roy Magnes

Give me a shout if I've done anything wrong

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

That last stage... argh! I wouldn't have won the rally, but... I managed to screen-freeze myself out of an extremely secure 2nd place!

@Sam McDonald you might've had the wrong tires for Kaihuavaara, but you got a stage win out of it! ;P

 

[Michael Nelson]

I had a rally fun battle with Roy in the EUY session, I thought I'd be battling with Ole as well after the first two stages, but he proved slightly too quick and ran ahead after SS3. I think me and Roy swapped places 3 times. I had to push really hard on the final stage which lead to a CFH, though I don't regret pushing at all. Good fun

Well done to Magnar and Roy and cheers to the organizers and everyone who ran
