Very sorry Andrew.

Welcome Alex

 

[Alex Buhtejev]

:thanks: guys for warm welcome!

Looking forward to racing!

 

[Andrew Evans]

i've updated the installation thread with the link to update 11... doesn't matter whether you get it for this event or not, since it's not mandatory and doesn't affect anything we're running... but you'll need it for the future (2 new cars).... :thumb:

 

[Aaron Cloutier]

Welcome man! Just remember, slow & steady wins the race ... ;-)

Alex Buhtejev (alexbuhtejv)

Don't laugh please, I'm new to this :car2:

 

[Aaron Cloutier]

Just finished my run. Worked great tonight, no problems.

Overall I had a great race. Slipped over a bank on the first stage and needed a CFH but otherwise had a flawless race. Not sure where I'll end up speed wise but most of my race was clean and consistent. Had a lot of fun too. Thanks Andrew!

 

[Warren Dawes]

I've just returned home from my looong trip, so I'll have a go at this one. I'm not really in any fit state to drive, but we need to boost the Aussie numbers since it is an Aussie Rally. I'll just be making up the numbers though.

Warren Dawes (WAD53) Oceania zone.

 

[Cam Wedgwood]

I'll be missing this one (AFREAKINGGAIN)... Work is still killing me. Hopefully next week as long as it isn't Thursday (WORK FREAKING COMMITMENTS!!!!)


Where is the 'vein popping out of my forehead' smilie?

Sorry Andrew.

 

[Glenn Morris]

I think Cam is FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

God. Home event for us Aussies and I reckon we've struggled.
Oh well. FWD + gravel = lots of hand braking. :in-love:

Ah well..


Thanks Andrew for setting it up. Was good to get back in the slidey slidey seat.

Oh and thanks to Warren for showing up at the last minute, making sure I had someone to talk to between stages!

 

[Warren Dawes]

First up, it was good to be back and driving again, well what I did tonight wasn't really driving. Even by the very low expectations I had, I was waaaaay worse than that. Had no chance to test any cars, so grabbed the VW at random, but I couldn't seem to get any speed or handling out of it, probably my lousy driving though. One thing I found was that it sure is tough. I rolled it many times, slammed it into trees, even flew over the Mineshaft terror jump into a concrete block on the last stage, but I couldn't kill that VW.

Glenn seemed to go OK, but I couldn't provide a descent benchmark to see how good he went. Thanks for the TS chatting Glenn, it was good to have some company.
Thanks to Andrew for setting it up, nice to drive the local Aussie stages.

 

[Andrew Evans]

[Andrew Evans]

that was pretty epic stuff, for me, filled with a couple of mistakes to make it less shiny... :shakeyfistman:

reckon i won a couple of stages though - but that usually turns out to be false once all sessions are combined

still, no retirements for a refreshing change... this driving in the dark lark isn't as hard as it was rumoured... :becky:

cheers to all who came out - results up in a bit....

 

[Robb Kulcsar]

Very hard night shift ,many rolls, many trees chopped,can't wait the next race. :monkey:
And that Saxo it seems that it had only 3 gears : 1st,2nd and reverse.
