Welcome back Krister, good to have another "oldie" racing with us. There are three cold / snowy Stages this time, so you should feel at home. :wink:

All Drivers please note:

RSRBR2011 Update 02 has been released. It apparently includes an update to the physics of the Ford Focus 08, which some will be driving. I have no idea what the changes are though.

I think you can run this rally without the Update, but I'd strongly recommend all drivers to install the Update before starting the rally.

Eckhart von Glan · Jan 9, 2011

okeedokee, will do. Just tested four stages, didn't survive a single one. Never knew you had such a mean streak, Warren, lol.

Dariusz Swiderski · Jan 9, 2011

I've just created a practice session for tomorrow event, starts at 00:00GMT, name: TBR Fun, no pass.
All welcome

Every now and then we have to let RBR bare it's teeth. :wink:

Probably nothing compared to Rick's evil plans with the RDRC S2.

@ Dariusz, please let us know if you find anything "unusual" with the Update 02.

France Stage 5 of this event is pure evil

great fun tho lol

Dariusz Swiderski · Jan 10, 2011

It was good fun, no problems to report Warren

. Have used the Focus for a few stages but can't make what is different about it. It needs more exprienced driver i suppose

Daniel Lovett · Jan 10, 2011

Out of interest, I just gave it a quick squirt (on SS03 for this week's Rally). To me, it seemed a touch more stable, didn't let the rear end go as quickly, but maybe I was just concentrating better for this run.
The worrying bit, my time was 4 secs quicker than I had been doing in my Subaru. :eek:

Rick Bamford · Jan 10, 2011

Warren, Don't worry to much. I ran on my test stage with the updated Focus and set the same time. The update might make it a little more stable in the default setups, but once you get it on the limit i don't think there is much difference.
