A little roundup of my season...
Monte Carlo - A good start in the mountains, before executing the world's slowest terminal-damage accident on day 2. That was annoying
Sweden - I may have competely forgotten to partake in this one...
But I hate Sweden anyway as I can never complete a stage without spinning on the snowbanks!
Greece - This was a really fun event. I was never in it to win it seeing as I was getting into some sort of trouble seemingly at every possible opportunity, but I enjoyed it and was glad to notch up a finish
Finland - A disaster
No preperation and it showed by me hitting several trees, usually with the front end of the car. Engine gave up when I hit another tree in the night ...of the first day.
Germany - Easily my best rally of the season. Good pace (by my standards) and more importantly I didn't crash at all!
Another enjoyable round
Wales - This was an adventure! I opted for the 'maximum attack' approach and I really enjoyed it ...for the 90% of the time that the car was actually on the road for!
As the rally went on it became apparent that the only time I've heard the engine sound worse in all of my time playing DiRT Rally was in Finland...
I begged the car to go on and it nearly made it. Nearly. Having to retire with engine failure on the penultimate stage was heartbreaking
In hindsight, I do wonder why I bothered with the fancy livery - within a few miles the car got covered in mud and bent very out of shape!
Overall, I've really enjoyed this season and I really do hope that the next season will be as nice! Maybe I'll pick a slower car next time...
Thank you to the admin team behind this championship!
Finally, I reckon I'll tell you all this - my racing wheel went bust last summer and I still haven't got myself a replacement. That's right - I've been playing DiRT Rally on a keyboard this entire time!!
