Celebrating that I successfully finished the rally (at last! ), I'm going to share with you the most enjoyable stage for me from yesterday.

Then I have some bad news for you, I will probably continue on friday. Long day at work tomorrow. 12 hour shift.

So, I've just started to do the Swedish Rally! I'm through the first stage what makes me already happy I prepared myself with PBs on Älgsjön and Björklangen and now my first stage was also a PB so it looks promising, only 3.3 seconds behind my really fast teammate Btw I'm glad to see only 3 snowy stages and no mist..

@Joakim Skalstad

Sadly I won't be finishing Rally Sweden due to "personal reasons" - not because Racenet was not working for me - any way see you all in Greece

@Joakim Skalstad : Wow. My first thought looking at your pictures was : Huh? There is a Peugeot 106 in this game??
Good Job on bringing it home!

Me.. I made it! I actually just finished my Sweden Rally!!
That in itself is a huge improvement over my Mont Carlo DNF

And at this moment I even finished 2nd in class (2WD-, of the 5 folks that finished so far) and 33rd overall..
I'm sure that won't last very long, but my goal for this rally was to finish, so goal achieved

I did severely injure a spectator and destroyed a few snow banks, but other than that, I absolutely had a blast!
Especially during all of the Day 3 stages I just couldn't stop smiling. Driving in a virtual championship like this is just so much more fun than just single player..
Big THANKS to Ole Marius, Michael, Jack and everyone else involved in this league. Looking forward to Greece already.

Difficult first day, on shakedown I had normal FFB started SS1 light steering wheel, didn't know what to do and did the stages like this but compared to Monaco now I could record fine, so....that's one good thing I guess.One spin and one half spin on the long stages I think and overall scared to drive....luv Sweden, NOT!

 

[Kubica2012]

well another rally finished.. I'm a bit disappointed about my performance, sitting 10th overall now but it could be easily 8th without stupid mistakes and snowbanks.. on SS15 l just finished the stage without any crash, on SS16 l had smashed windscreen and smoking engine. anyone knows why? didnt help to much..

Damn mechanics they sabotage you

Happy I managed to finish this one, as i slid off in slow-mo on S13 in MC.

Thanks to whoever put the driving tips in the mag. Snow is my weakest surface, and while I didn't set any blistering times, I was smoother than usual, which led to a much less frustrating rally.

 

[Sherwin van der Sloot]

About halfway through all I want to do is cry. I was doing decent'ish untill I blew a promising run in stage 5 or 6. It frustrated me greatly but instead of calling it a day there, I went for another one whilst still angry. Stupid, stupid, STUPID move! Blew it COMPLETELY with the result being my car is more junk than anything else, and I'm trailing behind massively in class. Not good hopefully I can claw some time back in the 2nd half of the rally and make a somewhat respectable showing of myself

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Thanks to whoever put the driving tips in the mag.

Happy to be to some help

As per last round, getting worse as the rally goes on!

though since the last checkpoint I seem to be getting a weird bug, twice on two different stages my car has just been span round for no reason, quite happily in the middle of the road away from any snowbanks and obstacles and the car stops dead and spins like ive just crashed the front corner into a wall. Has cost me at least 30 seconds on my time any ideas?

 

[Dag Inge Hansen]

Time to post a video of my worst run, stage 5. Two resets in the first km!

[Thomas Lambaerts]

Robt100 I know in wales there is a random rock on the road sometimes. No idea what it is in monte carlo or sweden. You don't happen to have seen this random appearance? Shouldn't stop you dead in your track though.

@Ole Marius Myrvold There's more than 1 guy happy with your tips. I didn't realise before that there was a difference in snow grip Now i am fighting at the front instead of driving 30 sec a stage slower.

 

[Dag Inge Hansen]

Somehow I was luckier in the not so twisty stages. This stage went much better:
