Damn, I didn't realise this latest update would be required. I have retired from the event on stage 2, as I was being awarded DNF times. My own fault, good luck all.

Ross McGregor · Jan 9, 2012

Well that was in equal measures tremendous fun/hellish!

My goal was to finish all stages, only managed 50%. 3 identical DNF's (low-speed, full-frontal impacts with trees) plus an annoying inident with a large rock metres from the finish at diamond creek II. (i'm blaming pace notes for all of them! fast-right?! i was in 3rd and still went off!) However, i think i made some progress, and once i learn to calm my '100%' mentality, i should be able to finish some stages and enjoy these rallies even more.

Cheers for setting this up Warren, hopefully i'll be around again sooner rather than later!

Roy Schroten · Jan 9, 2012

Finished the rally. Lost 4 mins in SS5 and made some mistakes in the other stages. Bit dissapointed but a good debut rally

I had very much fun. Thanks for up setting this event Warren!

Oscar Hardwick · Jan 9, 2012

Well... that was eventful.

Everything was great minus mineshaft and hualapai nation. Mineshaft I had to CFH coming up to the mineshaft itself and lost plenty of time but managed to finish. Hualapai nation should have been strong for me but I slipped a foot wide mid way through the stage and ran over some stupidly placed spectator.

Minus that I really enjoyed the event and thought that I for once was going quickly and finishing the stages.

@ Warren Dawes : I had an issue with SS1 where I completed the stage but the RSRBR timing said I was still in progress and did to the end. I have a screenshot of the time itself with the rest of the stage times from this rally. Let me know what happens in these circumstances.

Thanks,

Oscar.

nice one, we were a nice full server in EU tonight, lots of known names and some new names, too. I thought it strange so few people tried out the new cars, I think I was the only one taking the Polo WRC. It's the most docile WRC I have tried, physics seem to be rather simple, at least to me it felt like I got less nervous feedback than from other WRC cars.
Two DNFs (one utterly undeserved as it was one of those freak engine deaths where you hit a tree softly rear left and your engine in the front of the car dies ???) and 4 CFHs (the first one in the second turn of the first stage, talk about getting to know each other, my lil' POLO and me), so VW spokeswoman Hilda von Birkenstock was none too happy, but I left the event with that big grin on my face that comes from visiting Warren's Rally Club.

thx for setting this up, with tournie postponed, I will be around a little more.

Fernando Agapito · Jan 9, 2012

I lost some time on ss2, I went too wide on a tight corner and hit a tree, I wasn't paying too much attention to my co-driver

. The same stupidity happened again on ss5 (DNF) and it happened just on the next couple corners from the start!

I was so angry that I drove like crazy on ss6 Noiker.

Oscar Hardwick · Jan 9, 2012

Fernando you were going mighty fast all the way through the rally

You send it to me, and I manually edit your times.

Oscar Hardwick · Jan 9, 2012

Thanks Senad, I have send you a pm.

Magnus Lindgren · Jan 9, 2012

Slow driving, using keyboard, and had to call for help 2 times, but I finished all stages! Was in the lead by 0,5 sec after SS6 ! Really proud!!!
Big Thank to the organizers.

Well lucky the top 3 guys were not present

Chris Williamson · Jan 9, 2012

Mixed fortunes for me tonight. Opted for the 02 Impreza as I've been using that lately in Czech mod, but as is usually the case it took me a little while to get used to the RSRBR grip levels once more. The first 4 stages were a bit untidy but without major dramas I was in a reasonably strong position at halfway, but that proved to be my highpoint. Coming through SS5 I went quite fast through what was called as an 'easy left' and slid a few metres wide and whacked the tree sitting right on the outside - instantly killed the engine. Had a good run on Noiker and ok runs on the two horrible American stages at the end, so I'm hoping for a Top 10, but expecting a Top 20.

David Jundt · Jan 9, 2012

Horrible. DNF'd the first half of the rally. Second half came and I made my "2nd home" Japan proud as I managed to be quite fast and do a 350° after hitting a tree on the other, Noiker.

Next USA stage went wrong as I re-started it, then rammed a stone and was rolling for the rest of the stage to the line, although I was retired anyway with my re-start. Last stage was horrible as I took dry tyres for wet weather. Although when I used Inters for Damp stages, it worked like not at all.

I'll get the excuse of driving a 3WD Escort Cosworth for the first time, but only this time.

Terrible bumpy, I didn't thouch the setup too.

But another problem was that my wheel was off-center to the right. How can I re-center it?

Jack Sedgwick · Jan 9, 2012

Well that went well....

Whenever I went to load a stage it would just go to the RBR main menu, and then when I exited from the game from SS2 rsrbr refused to acknowledge this and so I couldn't continue.

Lee Palmer · Jan 9, 2012

Had a fun return to rallying. Had some good stages, gutted it crashed on the Aussie East to West track, really enjoyed that felt quick. Cheers all

Viesturs Priede · Jan 10, 2012

I just hope it was Polo which made me lag so badly. Thats pretty much why I quit the event, couldnt drive like that. Glad I dont like those new WRC`s very much, otherwise I would be pissed.

I'm pretty happy with my rally, besides DNF in Sipirkakim 2.. Good battle at session top in Mineshaft Magnar And Gundars pretty much dominated EUX! Good rally, good vibes for upcoming season! Thanks everyone!

yeah right. thought you forgot someone. i finished 2nd overall. aka andyone and with default setup and no practice at all. on a 01 T4. it was an awesome battle. i lost lots of minutes on the first ss. was trying to get used to the car. and on the last stage. my internet went mad but i did a 04.05. on hualapaination. that definatly put me on number 2 on the EUX.
