I'm both surprised and pleased with such a great result
SS1 - Humalamäki Reverse:
Start of the rally and took it very easy as this stage never has been kind to me and, to be fair, the old Subaru could do with some more modern suspension
No real issues to talk about, got a bit too close for comfort with one of the stones on the inside of one of the turns.
SS02 - Loch Ard:
After a successful start to the rally I pushed a bit harder and it looks like it pait off, got a good flow going and no major moments, a slightly lacking hairpin turn before the bridge but it was more speed trouble than the fact that it was a crash waiting to happen
SS03 - Myttaala Sprint:
One of the more fun stages in Finland, especially that first fast righthander that comes immedietly after the bump, the default notes makes it a easy right I think, I have it as a "Warning, crest into immediate fast right 3" and I still managed to fly off there, thankfully managed to avoid damage so could finish the stage with no more problems.
Service
SS04 - Painaa:
Due to knowing that the next 2 stages would be even longer than this one I took it very cautiously, especially in the middle part of the stage before the K-Left, partly because it's easy to make a misstake there and partly due to the fact that the jumps are a big danger in the Subaru
SS05 - Sikakama:
A stage that, even on Gravel, I do enjoy to drive. There is a bit too much grip for me to fully drive in my own style but still some good sideways stuff as well as good flow and speed, a good run, not perfect, but good
SS06 - Loch Ard II:
This way around this stage is very strange to drive. Took it very carefully because I didn't feel comfortable to go fast.
Had a slight moment in one of the wooded areas but otherwhise it went well, though slow...
Service
SS07 - Kaihuavaara II:
A fairly nice stage but had to take it a bit catiously because of the test ahead, really didn't want to damage the car prior to Ouninpohja. Reasonable time, somewhat too careful maybe.
SS08 - Ouninpohja:
Had a good start to the run but sadly then managed to roll it when I entered a turn maybe 5 k too fast and hit a tree and was helped to turn it on its side by the ditch.
After this had to take it a bit slowly due to the damage to the steering arm on the right front. Resonable time considering the issues but frustrated as that lost me any chance at maybe getting an even better position.
SS09 - Humalamäki Reverse:
Again we came to Humalamäki and with the damage I again took it easy, this time due to the damage to the car.
Service
SS10 - Pöykky:
Had a resonable run, had a moment close to the end of the stage when I front ended a tree, not damaging the car it seems but I did loose time.
SS11 - Humulamäki:
Did what I could to go quickly here, had a massive moment over the double crest where the rear end reacted wierdly, just about avoided a retirement.
Apart from that the run went allright.
Overall very happy with the result of this rally
Thank you to everyone who organise the series as well as those taking part to make it an enjoyable battling environment
If I can, I'll upload either of the two stages, I've had trouble showing recordings in RBR lately, you can find it in the opening RBR page on the forums if you want to know of it more exactly
See you all in Sweden
