    That has to be the fastest puncture I ever had. First stage, I touched a bank less than 15 seconds in. After that and the tyre change I was completely out of sync, hitting nearly everything in sight. When the car slowly rolled and then got stuck behind an obstacle somewhere in the middle of the stage I took a deep breath and decided to call it a day.

    Greece was quite embarrassing. I started quick, then began to lose time and started to take more risks - the result was predictable.

    Germany started bad, with a false start, although I thought the car was actually moving backwards at the line. Is that even possible? Anyway, I was so baffled I waited a few more seconds before I got going. The rest of SS1 was okay, then there were spins in SS2 and SS3 and some minor mistakes, but nothing too serious, until a freakish accident in SS6, where I hit - a pole maybe? I don't really know. It cost a few seconds for the crash and 9 seconds reset, as I landed on top of a spectator. So, could have been better, could have been worse. At least I finally finished again.

    New Zealand was over very quickly. Didn't have much time to spare, so I rushed in and of course that didn't work. Punctured the left rear tire after only two sectors. Tried to go on, crashed and punctured the right front tire. With two and a half stages to go and only one spare, I did the sensible thing and retired. Need more spares, need more spare time. Spare, Shmare, Nightmare.

    The time I won on you in a stage was, when you used mediums from ss3 on, about the same as in the first 2 stages. 

    Maybe for Finland the tire doesn't have such a big impact, Finland is more about setting the car good before you jump into the next corner.

    I had a spin in SS1 and a puncture after 2 sectors in SS2, so I would have been a lot closer. From SS3 on, I used mediums and had some clean stages, but still lost a lot of time. So I think the tire makes a difference, although I have to admit I was quite cautious, maybe too much. And of course I'm never really fast in Finland. It's better than it was in DR1, but still...

    I tried to tackle Finland as a pure endurance event. The strategy didn't work out too well in the first two stages - one spin and a puncture. But in the long second loop things got better. The medium tires worked quite well, I slowed down more than usual before jumps and corners and had only one or two spins in the next four stages. After SS6, I was obviously a little bit too relieved and picked up another puncture, but that didn't cost too much. Now I'm interested to see how you guys fare.

    "Try to make up some ground'" 😀 that is what we all want to do after a mistake, but in 99,9% it just means more trouble.

    Wise words, my friend. But sometimes, you just have to try, because I felt quite comfortable in Argentina. Well, mostly... Australia was as usual not very good. Crash, puncture, crash, puncture, retired. In anything faster than a Lancia Fulvia I'm going to crash there. Must be some kind of eternal law.

    Worst run ever in Sotland.

    Same here. First 3 stages were okayish, but quite slow. I just don't have enough track knowledge in Scotland. Anyway, in SS4 - today, the other stages I did two days ago, I think - I felt like driving on ice, crashing twice and getting a puncture. The banged up Mini barely made it to the next service. Quick fixed some parts, then... Look for yourself.

    Another weak performance in the second loop. A strange reset after apparently touching something in SS4, later in the stage I hit a tree and punctured. Radiator und engine damage made SS5 and SS6 a frustrating experience. And in SS7 after a hairpin I got stuck behind a signpost for a few seconds. Oh my...

    Maybe it was just not enough sleep, but too much coffee and CNN in the last days...

    An eventful Rally Sweden for me. Surprisingly many green sectors, but three high speed rolls, one or two spins and two resets cost what might have been a podium. There was no lack of trying and the Mini took some heavy beating, but the only puncture occurred after crossing the finish line in SS7. Fun!

    Well, that was fun. Mostly.

    I chose the Metro for the season, because, you know, it's a funny car. Spins in each of the first three stages, but nothing too bad, then I left the road in SS3 and expected instant retirement (would have been in DR1), but was only hit with a 16s penalty. Tried to keep it clean in the second loop which mostly worked, until I smashed a tyre early in SS6. Nevertheless, a fun ride.

    Started too slow in SS1, picked up the pace in SS2/3, but the car had nearly no scratches in service, so I might have been a bit too careful. Tried to switch into attack mode, but a mighty spin/roll/whatever in SS4 quickly ended this. I was lucky to stay on the road (although facing the wrong direction) and avoided any heavy damage or punctures. Kept it clean the rest of the way. All in all not bad, but a little bit off the pace.

    Excluding the Lancia Delta might be enough. It's far superior to the Peugeot in my opinion and much easier to drive on the limit.

    In other news, I didn't expect much from Scotland because of my still quite limited knowledge of the track and it showed. A puncture near the end of SS1, a spin and a roll in the next two stages. In SS4 I crashed and punctured right at the start, so I had to change the tyre. In SS5 and 6 I had to slow down to avoid further punctures and the car was once again severely damaged and down on power. Quickfixed everything and had a nice last stage. Far too many mistakes this season. But to be honest, a podium in Scotland was out of the question, even with a clean rally.
