Could have gone a little better, but I'll take what I can get.
SS1: You really need an entirely different set of pacenotes for this car. The torque is unbelieveable.
SS2: Have to change my entire driving style pretty much to get a grip on this car. very very slidy so I lost a lot of time in the sow sections. but overall getting a better feel for the car.
SS3: Slide, slide slide. Definitely need to look at the AntiRoll, few hairy moments.
SS4: wow. such a small change and such a massive difference! Feel much more comfortable with it on tarmac now. Granted I tried reverse entry on one of the last hairpins as I was getting carried away...did't work.
SS5: Felt quite slow, but felt more comfortable with the cars handling. And to me thats more important.
SS6: Thoroughly enjoyed and felt good in the car, very good rhyth given how slippy the car was the entire stage.
SS7: Very pleasing result considering the tyres I chose had to work for both stages. Only started getting a bit on-the-edge at the end where decided to push a bit...on these tyres. Fun times.
SS8: blaming every single thing that went wrong in that stage on the setup. absolutely.
dreadful. I think I did better the first time I played RBR. every little bump in the road sent me off and almost broke my arm trying to turn the wheel so fast to counter it
and that was my bumpty setup...I might be inclined to say its worse than the bumps in sweet lamb. Actually, they are worse. Strange considering the gravel version is one of my favourite stages
SS9: Forgot setups dont load properly for BTB stages. damn. Tried my best with what I had anyway. Took a wrong turn but managed to get back on track quickly, but messed up the very last corner and spun for a while off the road. But got there in the end.
SS10: Definitely feel more comfortable on gravel, but lost a bit of time here and there sliding off the road in a few places.
SS11: ARGH!!!!! Nothing like having really good pace and then the car slides out at the very end of the stage and takes someone out...fml. fml. fml.
SS12: GAH it did it again >_> slid at the top of a hill and it would stop sliding whatsoever, and i braked before the top of the hill.
In conclusion: Seat time, Snow setup, minor changes to gravel, and definitely changes to Czech setup.
Great to have Jesper in the session, it was good to compare times between WRC, you are very quick!!
I'm a little disappointed and how slippery the car was from the start, but I will just need to keep fine tuning I guess. Stoked that I got the France setup sorted.
This is exactly what this event is for, finding faults and fixing. So at least I'm pleased its a test event
Bring on Round 1!! March is going to be an exciting month, announcements and liveries
