Slight computer issues, so I'll be switching to EU3.
Seems it's still the most popular session, almost 20 of us will be there

I'll switch too to EU3 or EU4 depending on my free time.
I'm not expecting much on tarmac so finishing without big problems will be my goal.

I'm in! I've got my old laptop running (just) and have just driven Pay du Lac (sp) and it did'nt crash! So I'll have a crack at it with no real expectations.
See you in EU2!
See you in EU2!
Well surprisingly my computer worked fine! Managed to try and do all the stages as well.
SS1 - 11: Bit of a mix really. Pay deu Lac (sp) isn't one of my favorites, I don't like how narrow and blind the corners are, plus I always push to much lol, as can be seen by going off into some of the fields! The 'original' stages went ok I quite enjoy them with the hairpins but maybe the Fiesta is a bit under powered for them although it does handle well. Pleko tarmac was ok another stage I'm not familiar with so maybe a bit to cautious then pushing too much!
SS12: Was enjoying the stage as it was quite tight and I thought suited the Fiesta. Got through the tight section just about half way through then going flay down the hill went way to fast and straight into a tree! Game over on that one!
SS13: was trying to push a bit more than the first run and was doing pretty well I thought too till I clipped a bollard and set the car on fire! another DNF!
SS14: Not a problem, really like that stage, bit short but fun!
Over all not to bad, need to play around with my settings to get the car handling well and extract every last then out of the car! Happy with 4th in class and a 2WD stage win some good points early on in the championship which I'm hoping to improve my position on!
Thanks to the organizers and good luck to everyone else!

I was wrecking every time practicing for this rally. Got to the main event and made it through without a DNF or a CFH or an "OMFG, get out of the road you GD MF spectators."
Slow but clean run.
Slow but clean run.
SS1 - Hit a tree the car is steaming but running fine. Codriver didn't saw anything about the water temp so I think I can make it through the next rallys before service.
SS2 - Spun the car around, finally the water temp is high and hit a spectator right at the end.... not my stage
SS3 - Didn't push it very hard at all.. with the car hissing at my and steam rolling out of the hood, I drove safe and finished. Service time
SS4 - Retired.... There goes my outright points....
SS5 - Very good run but still thinkin about SS4 and how the smallest mistake on that track can ruin a rally.
SS6 - Solid run no mistakes at all but slower then my last run... damn tires!
SS7 - Short little track, no problems.
Hope I can keep my speed up to make some points, having no practice is really kill my rally.....
SS8 - Retired.... for sure out of any points... very disappointing right now.
SS9 - Good run, just a small mistake.. probably took 5 seconds er so..
SS10 - Def a good run I think I may gain some time back on that stage.
SS11 - Solid run fast pace n' no mistakes this time!
SS12 - Hit a tree soon followed by my water temp being high.. Hope I can make it to the end of the rally.
SS13 - Felt slow but it was faster then my first run..
SS14 - Finished strong... rammed my car strait into the barrier... that el teach it... lol
Overall.... I have been really busy lately... haven't really played for 2 weeks or so now, and had literally an hour or so of practice tops for this event... I think with that said I had a solid performance today. Still no excuse for the two retirements and sending a spectator to the hospital.. I'm not a huge fan of tarmac but the car handled better then I thought especially SS11 - 14 having good conditions and all. I'm going to try and make some more club rallies but its getting nice here so well see. Thanks to the organizers, had a blast! Good luck to those who still have to rally!

One corner on Bisanne cost me a shot at overhauling Paul Newton
Apart from that I had a good rally again no CFH but trying to overturn a 3min gap in 9 stages was always going to hard.
I gave it everything but i could only get it down to 1:55 I think, I should still get some decent points though.
Thanks guys for setting everything up

might try the 10:30 slot. So busy atm that I have yet again no pratice and I see that unfortunately continuing for most of the summer.S4 will not be my year.
Had a wee pre race lap, I'm donald-ducked!
I thought I would b sensible and aim for a speed I am comfortable at, that appears to be mid to low throttle in anything up to 2nd gear. Its gonna b a short rally for me.... Cant believe how quickly I go off the boil with no practise, tis shameful.

LOL
No practice rallies -> don't drive a WRC car
Too bad. But 90% are standard stages, who knows.
my fear is loosing my wrc seat......
Well, if things go that way, I have access to driver tables, and am easily bribable.
u could maybe just leave me in for 'comedy' value for the videos...
... goodluck Tyrone, see u on the other side!
Keegan Rees - CossieWRC - EU3
Couldn't start last night due to competing a real rally.. so may i be changed to EU3? Thanks!
Race report:
I was lucky enough to be asked to drive Miss Daisy on her French European leg. I took this option rather than rally.
It was a pleasant couple of days drive around the beautiful mountainous regions of France. I made sure as to go so fecking slow that there would be no chance of crashing and upsetting my estemed passenger, this went to plan.
I would say that there is a slight complaint to the organisers as there did not seem to be too much in the way of pre-advertising of Miss Daisy's run. There was couple of rude French spectators who must of thought I was racing and where seen to throw baguette s and garlic at the car in disgust at my slow pace... Miss Daisy was not amused.

Yes, you can drive in any session you can, without notice. The only restriction being that the first session you record a split time in will count.
Just processed the results so far. Not that bad John.
Well, still 30-ish people to go, so probably quite bad, but not that bad at the moment!
How about me?
