Yikes! :eek: what a rally! well done if this was your first intro to a club event, it was mistakes a-plenty for me, but happy to get were i did considering.
Congrats to all who turned up and to the podium Simone, Warren & Terri, great pace guy's!
I think Terri might be another contender for 'Mr Consistient' great run! :good:
Don't worry Warren with 2nd place you're not going to loose that title anytime soon, great fun trading stage times (I've got to get a microphone for TS).
I did no prep for this one so was kind of expecting some slow times, was lucky not to DNF a couple stages.
However, i learned a important lesson with the night & foggy stages (should hve learned by now), don't! rely on stage memorisation! (bad habit) look ahead and commit to the pace notes (recce the bad bit's), might have improved my position otherwise.
Lot of little mistakes cost me, things like not loading my car setup before start of a stage, wrong gears for stages etc. Was crawling home like snail on Joux Plane, stuck in 1st gear with a 1 minute to go:wink:.
Also had to call help twice for not being able to select reverse, not much you can do when there's cliff edge or a tree stuck to your front bumper :wink::wink:.
An early incident on SS4 with 'Pinus Radiata' gifted me a severely slipping clutch and saw me feathering the throttle just to get traction with a minute to go. Extremely frustrating but at the same time appreciating the awesomeness of RBR's damage model.
Looking at the times overall we have definitely got a great mix of talent amongst us, this seasons looking pretty good so far.
Thanks Warren & Senad for organising, see you all at the next one.
@Mark: other than the red ink great pace m8, and nice choice on car selection too.
If your interested?, due to technical issues my previous team mate Robb had to change his entry for this season's championship (sadly missed), if your thinking of joining with the same Subi (or anyone else thinking of running Subi s12) give us a yell if your interested in forming a team?
@Kevin: Howzit! Great to see another Kiwi flag on the server, good to have you join us in the fun.
