Janneman60 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 To my surprise I am first in the standings. Some bad runs, 2 events missed... what did you do guys? Anyway, I did the last rally. Spain is often pain but this time it was troublefree and at a good speed. But is it good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 For my part, I have a serious concentration issue these days. Started out fast in Spain, being ahead of @Janneman60in the first few sectors of SS1 and SS2 (don't know how I did that), then I started to lose time and began to make more and more mistakes, losing lots of time and retiring in SS2 after a mighty crash.

Janneman60 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Well, I am the one to pick the car class for next season. It will be Kit Cars. I take the Seat Ibiza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baunau Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 My choice of safari-rally is Finland, alternatively Argentina if the former is excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderclassGDfan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Heyho! I tried 3 times to create a new championship over the last week. A lot of wasted time putting effort into it. Everytime I couldn't submit the championship, probably because you get automatically signed out after some time. @PJTierney Please slap the guy, who is responsible for that, thanks. Now I tried a 4th time and to save time and don't get logged out I only changed stages, degredation and service areas to our format. And the 7th stage is always a night stage. The rest of the stages have random choosen time of day/weather. Car class: F2 Kit Car Rally calendar: Rising Sun Excluded rally: Sweden. Yes, I did it. Safari rally: Finland Starts in 30 mins, every rally goes a week long. I'm still pretty sad I didn't won the last championship. Had an overpowered car, @Janneman60 missed out on 2 rallies and still I messed it up somehow 😞 Pace was alsways there, but I crashed hard several times. Well, I don't expect much in the next one, because F2 Kit Cars is my least favourite class and I use them really rarely. But I enjoyed them lately, so let's go!

Janneman60 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Glad it starts again, thanks. As for the coming season, it looks like I will mis 3 rounds due to holiday (yes again on holiday 😃). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) FWD is not my strong suit, so I took the Peugeot, in order to be remotely competitive. Combine that with the USA, another one of my really weak suits, so to say, and we have a less than stellar performance. Understeer was so bad that I was convinced I forgot to take the soft tyres, but that wasn't the case. Just me, baby. Had one not so small crash, a puncture, at least two rolls and lots of other mistakes, but at least made it home. Nice to see some new names in the standings. Welcome!

Janneman60 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Nowhere first place but I managed to get to 2th place. But at ss6 I had a crash early in the stage and got a flat tire. At the end in 5th place so far. Because of the worldwide chip problem it is very quite at work. So I could extend my september holiday. But now I'm going to mis 4 rounds...

YoMrWhite Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Argentina was better than USA, still I experienced too much understeer for my liking and managed to go off three times, meaning nearly 40 seconds in penalty plus one blown tyre near the end of a stage. On to Scotland. Great place, but I suspect my limited track knowledge there will doom me if I try too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janneman60 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I bought myself a handbrake 😀 Not only I mounted it but decided to completely rebuild my rig. A new softer spring in the middle pedal so now I use the middle pedal for braking and the left one is the clutch again. The shifter I rebuild to h-shifter instead of sequential, and it is on another place to be more in line with the handbrake. Because of all that I can now use the flippers on the wheel for sequential shifting. Confused? Yes that is exactly my problem! I get confused too sometimes and hit the clutch if I want to brake or use the shifter if I want the handbrake. In ss2 this caused me to have a severe crash and it ment a lot of small mistakes. But in ss5 and 7 it went very good so there is hope. Second for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Two punctures - the first one in SS1 especially costly - and two rolls in Scotland. Apart from that I had fun and even some speed. Now I just have to cut down on my tyre-smashing habits. Easier said than done, I presume.

Janneman60 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 First stage was a bit to slow, second stage I had a spin which took ages to recover, but the rest was a decent pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be rich! 😁 My summary so far: USA: Can't remember much, but wasn't exactly a clean run. Only got 2nd because others had problems, too. Misix is crazy fast, had no chance. Argentina: I was on fire! I somehow beat Denim on almost all stages. Was one of my best runs ever in a F2 Kit Car. Scotland: We will see...didn't started yet, but I can foresee a crash happening 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janneman60 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Rich 😃 If you are healthy then you are rich. I have the opportunity to buy some extra free time. But travelling with the mobil home in months not being juli/august is not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankiestail Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Was knackered last night but thought I’d give wales a go, one of my favourites so didn’t bother with any of that practice malarkey, clipped side of road and launch to a terminal in the middle of the trees! lasted 3 corners!! This game eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Looks like I'm coming to grips with the Peugeot. It obviously helps that I know Wales better than the previous rallies. SS1 was good until the last sector, SS2 without significant mistakes, SS3 nearly brilliant. Nearly. I left the road early and found myself 12 seconds behind @Janneman60, but was able to reduce the deficit to 6,5 seconds at the end. Not bad. Maximum attack in SS4, resulting in a visit to the undergrowth and a reset. In SS5 I was on course for a stage win until I had another offroad experience, in SS6 and 7 I managed to stay on the road throughout. Oh, what could have been...

Janneman60 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Wales was by far my best rally this season. First 3 stages were superb, then because I was tired, the speed dropped a bit but still fast. Spain was differenr. Today was my last workday before holiday and I was a bit stressed when I started the rally. That showed, 2 resets in ss1 and a hard crash in ss3. With the feeling "all is lost anyway" the last 4 stages where the best in Spain I ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Spain in a nutshell: 2 serious crashes, 3 resets (one a whopping 37 seconds), a few half spins, big problems in SS3 and SS6 due to the worn tyres. I really should have just taken it easy instead of trying to push. But Spain seems so easy to drive at first, it's just tempting you to go flat out. For me, that's always a big mistake, at least here. Edited September 6, 2021 by YoMrWhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankiestail Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Was about to start this rally but noticed it’s Spain, didn’t bother as life’s too short to suffer the tarmac in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderclassGDfan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Scotland: Sooo, typical crash in Scotland happened, though still 3rd place. Wales: Never had a chance. Pace was not good enough + some mistakes here and there, especially on the first stage. Spain: Pace was good, Misix is way too fast for me, though. But was faster than all others, so quite good for me. Start to really like the Kit Cars. Raced pretty often lately in one of them and I like that you have to really "work" to get the cars were you wanna have them. Though the Golf is a bit lazy on the power side... But at least it's the most predictable one from these 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Germany was much better than Spain, as usually. Very unusual on the other side: I had nothing to repair after SS3. Nada. Rien, Nichts. Was it just a very clean drive or a too careful one? Time will tell. The times of others, to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMrWhite Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I threw away a prime chance for first place in Monte Carlo. 11 seconds up after SS1, I left the road in a righthander in SS2 and hit a tree. Speed was quite slow, but it earned me terminal damage nonetheless. Very disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
