Troy, nice driving! That bump in the high speed section is very nasty and it is very easy to have a huge accident there.

Anyway did this sprint event as a practice in the Subaru Impreza 95. Has a cautious start on first pass, had a big roll on the second pass. The third was more or less ok but held back little bit. I tweaked the setup for the car all the time.

Fast bump threshold was too low and suspension was too rigid to absorb the bumps. After hitting a bump in the uphill section I had a huge roll. Landed on the wheels but a lot of mechanical and cosmetical damage.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with my performance.

That's always a nice thing to say, congrats!

I'm not very fond of bumpy tarmac stages, but I wanted to get in as much practice as I can get so I decided to run the rally. First stage was pretty good, no big mistakes - 4:14.40. Put me somewhere near the top of the VHC class, and top of group H.

Next run though I misclicked and instantly drove stage instead of changing my setup. All I really wanted to change was the steering angle, so it's not like it was too bad, but I let it get to my head and near the beginning of the track I spun, and for some reason I just couldn't get traction to keep going. Not sure where my rear wheels were that that happened, but I lost enough time for a call for help, without calling for help. Got caught out by a bump later in the stage, making me actually need to call for help. Got caught out by the same bump next stage, I think my nerves just got to me and I wasn't focused enough. Needless to say, I fell way back, but for anyone that wants to see where they stand I uploaded the results to the dropbox. Shouldn't change too much, if at all, since it's the end of the week.
