[Alastair Walker]

Thanks for the update Norman

Cheers Al

 

[Yann Laprevotte]

Sorry for not attending, had no time for this(read: LFS and iR are more addictive).

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

lol, always good to see someone stll doing LFS, it's what got me started ages ago. still have the licence but forgot all about my password and username etc. so going back would be quite a fuss.

 

[Roy Magnes]

How many did have problems with loading Savo in the end? I have seen 3 or 4 cases of this happening in the thread, I think.
A mind-boggeling mystery for the technical team to solve, eh?

 

[Miikka Peltola]

I had problems with savo. It crashed while I was driving. It sucks.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

no problems here. have all those who crashed followed the time honored role that one should always load all non-rbr tracks once offline before going online? has always worked for me (though it might just be conceit)

 

[John Cunningham]

does everyone had the latest files..?

 

[Roy Magnes]

I have tested the stage quite a bit, as it is a very tricky stage to drive in general, but I had no failure to load it what so ever. And I have not had any problems with it on my test afterwards either. Just when it did count it failed on me.

I was thinking of setting up a test-rally with the BTB-stages online for the next RDRC-event so we can check if they work ok in advance. Will come back to that in the designated thread

 

[John Cunningham]

nice one roy, I would like to join to check if mine work too.

 

[Nigel Atkins]

no problems wih any BTB stages here and i always test them both off and on-line well in advance. its very easy to setup a on-line season.

Prior Preperation and Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance :tongue: (or so they say lol)

 

[Norman Biscuits]

Provisional results here!

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

11th in class, darn, but for my mishaps in the final stages I might have snatched another point, the dif to 10th is almost exactly the time I lost there. congrats to the winners in all classes!

 

[Peter Lengyel]

I had problem during loading Savo, the 6th stage. Well, the 2nd and 3rd stage was almost 4 mins off because of the wrong tyre. But, I gain one stage win wheeee

 

[Olli Kauppinen]

Wow, I won my class :O Great! My times weren't so good though.. Was Ians retire because game crashing while loading Savo? :frown:

 

[Senad Subasic]

Woohoo, points :woot:

Extremely slow stage times, compared to the winners. But I don't care, H-shifting around gravel Finland, had a blast.

 

[David Jundt]

3rd place in rookie out of 4th. I surely lost 4 minutes by retiring on one stage and flying off on some other stages.

For example, I went of at the first stage at the first turn LOL!

 

[Warren Dawes]

Congratulations to Sebastien (sounding like a broken record), yet another domination of almost every Stage.

Well done to Nigel and Dariusz, great result for team L&H.

Grats to Class winners, Olli, Magnar, Jeff, and Erik.

John managed to steal one Stage win from Seb, good to see.

Again, the results have mixed evereyone up pretty well, and I can see some very good results from drivers who are not normally high in the table. Well done guys. :thumb:

Thanks to Norman for his fine Admin work on the Server and Results, and to Rick and the Team for planning the Rally. :thanks:

 

[Norman Biscuits]

Points tables have been updated :thumb:

 

[Dariusz Swiderski]

Very unexpected result for me, i,m so gobsmacked in a positive way

Didn't have much time for practice this round, only 1 little session with Nigel last week so had to be very cautious with my driving, especially on Savo with its doggy pace notes and only 2 disastrous practice runs, tip toeing was my way . And thats where i lost bulk of time but whats more importantly, i survived without a scrach .
I had only 1 big off in the entire rally, with the RBR damage bug letting itself known once again, but in my favour this time.
At ss2 at the very end i went to wide, hit a fence at high speed to dead stop, the car should have been destroyed but there was NO damage, i could continue at ss3 without single problem....ughhhh:tongue:. I,m sure if i hit it with 1\10 of the speed i was doing, the engine would have been dead.
Once again BIG thx to my team mate Nigel for the setups and pace notes, without it i would have been nowhere near podium finish:thanks:.
Great result for the team as well, with Nigel taking 2nd, congrats m8

Congrats to all the classes winners and podium finishes.
Thx to the whole of the admin team for their hard and prompt work on this :good:
See y next round
