Rally - Slick Celica - Monday 22nd & Tuesday 23rd August 2011

Hmm didn't bother to finish this race.
Just got back from vacation and this wasn't a easy car to drive for me, struggled alot with grip.
Drove safe the first stages, but soon noticed I was ending up last that way. Tried to push for a couple of stages but it was just too difficult for me to stay on the road. Didn't find the sweet spot in the setups between over-steer and under-steer so.


Well thanks for a challenging race and good luck to the rest of you!

My halfway-report:
I was 2nd fastest in the session on the first 2 stages, but at the dip near the start of SS3 I slipped off the brake, and crashed heavily into a tree and locked the gearbox in 2nd... Had a good run on SS4 until I span on the last km...
 
It was a nice rally! Just downloaded car pack for this rally and also downloaded BTB USA for this rally! Also new stage to me, Peklo Tarmac. There I had huge problems with audience slipping under my car :rolleyes:. Finland stages were both ok with second position from EUX group, tarmac ain't my thing as those were problemous stages for me.. :redface: Then again to gravel, Mineshaft, reverse stage I couldn't get it. Why my driving was so jumpy and hasty, etc etc. Drove over all 90degree turns.. Afterwards when mineshaft started "the right way", those were fantastic moments for me. I ain't so good driver with these high powered cars yet, my race was pretty good! Won EUX mineshaft. My first stage win here at RD! :woot: Diamond creek 2 was awful driving again, i think i was still wondering my mineshaft performance. :rolleyes: BTB USA Mont Herman, second victory, didn't go anyway well. Guess nobody else didn't know that stage either. Congrats to Jani for winning EUX takeoff!

Crashing and retiring on both Mineshaft-runs ruined my mood, so I called it a day after those. This was a really nice rally with a great challenge, too bad I just not had a good day behind the wheel to match it...

You summed it up for me as well! :)
 
Fun rally =) but yet again a RsCenter crash when I was supposed to start ss6.... this is getting a bit old and I have reinstalled everything except my OS... maybe only way to go now. The five stages I was able to drive was a lot of fun =) but made some really big mistakes on almost everyone of them.... hehe maybe need to cool it down a bit or just practise more!

Anyway I had a lot of fun with the car and wish goodluck to everyone still in the rally!

PS Stage 4 was really nice, no room for errors!
