[Bratsaki]

Awesome work again! The magazine looks great! Many Greeks there!

Continue the awesome work you do!

 

[Webbcar]

Sweden is done. Couple of spins but otherwise a clean run. Cheers

Everything can go wrong!

Hah, well sorry to Tommie for that, blame it on me being Norwegian or something like that!

I think i can live with that, but of course i blame the Norwegians for everything!

Ähhh you live in Hällefors, you're basically Nowegian yourself

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

Well two things to mention:

ONE: I GOT A MENTION ON THE MAGAZINE. **** YES. (Got excited for a bit there, my sincere apologies)

TWO: Time to train like a mad dog, since this will be my worst rally of them all. We, Brazilian people don't know how to deal with snow properly as we consider snow an urban legend and that it only exist in the christmas stories.

 

[Ricoow]

First 7 stages completed. Already 5 minutes down due to approximately 9 car flips and 20+ spins. But hey, Ive made it to a checkpoint!

 

[Lynx2000]

well that was it a tree on stage 2 totalled the car

 

[Kieran Poole]

Done the first 4 stages of the rally, went well, no spins, rolls or excursions into any snowmen the side of the road

I was under the influence that everyone in south america was great at driving on the white powdery stuff... oh wait..

That is on selected, remote parts of South America. If that was an Olympic sport, hell, we'd be favorites at any day of the week and weekends

I think there is a mistake too at Day 1........at the racenet league we see SS6 Björklangen afternoon snow and SS7 Älgsjön Sprint night snow, and not the opposite.......

Correct, it's a legacy from the turini-error I had on the the first itinerary. The rallies are set up correctly, it's the itinerary picture that is wrong.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, the spelling mistakes and such in the Magazine. I'm really sorry for this as well.

There are no excuses for it, but it became slightly rushed, and stressful as it took quite a bit of time with the results after Monte-Carlo, and the RaceNet names, and then I went to watch, film and stream from the actual Rally Sweden. It all gave us way less time than we would've liked.
Again, it's no excuse, it shouldn't happen at all. It's just an explanation on why. And I promise all the participants in the championship, that I will do better in the future!
Sorry again!

Made it through the first four stages with no major incidents! Need to work on car placement, but apart from that, all is ok!

 

[Ricoow]

Everybody that made it through the first 4 stages, how is saving working for you? Since there is no checkpoint there.

Silly mistakes shouldn't happen though

Usually it does Worst case is that you have to start over again on SS1.

Phuu, just finished my home rally and even though i'm grown up on this kind of surface, i find it annoyingly hard to stay out of the snow banks Not expecting a very good result here..

Some stats:
247 visits in the snow banks
5378 studs missing from the front wheels
17 spins
1 bright shining "check engine light"
2 barrell rolls
122 meters total jumped over Colin's Crest
1 co-driver that "will never ever sit in the same car as me again"
0 Peugeot bodyshell that can be used again
4 exhausted mechanics

Above numbers are only estimated, they may or may not be consistent with the truth
