My report, done as I complete stages. Hoping I can do well in this rally, as I really enjoy tarmac stages. One thing that annoys me about the Corsa is that it doesn't have a "long" drop gear... this means that on the longest ratios I still only reach 183km/h and top out very quickly on the flat-out stages. There aren't many of those here, thankfully.
SS1: The ultra-short stages are my favourites, and this one is nice and simple, apart from that damn chicane. Missed it, though! 35.98, a PB!
SS2: Peyregrosse. Uh-oh. AAAAGH ruined by my own silly mistakes. That's my first retirement of this rally. Really didn't need that!
SS3: Blergh, I like Joux Verte, but wasn't feeling it today. Stalled at the first hairpin, and an appointment with a tree near the end left me doing the last 1.5km in 1st gear. Not a good start.
SS4: I had to do the whole stage in 1st! The service point rule has bitten me hard. Not happy with my rally so far at all. Hope the dry stages bring me some luck.
SS5: Nope. high-speed errors, and now I'm stuck with a car that pulls to the right under brakes. JOY
SS6: Ah, screw it. I'll repair. I don't like Foron anyway.
SS7: Puy du Lac, we meet again. And you do good by me this time! Thank you.
SS8: More mistakes! I'd say more but I'd get banned for language.
SS9: No.
SS10: Agh, I'm not even going to bother anymore. I'll take the contractual times, I've had it with my own errors DESPITE my practice runs.
Peace out.
