SS1 - OK but the stage time was worse than I was expecting. Was going too careful, I guess. Jack proved who is the boss here by beating me.
SS2 - OK-ish, had some offs as well as problems with controlling the car - couldnt get it to go straight, maybe I had bent the suspension somewhere early on the stage. Although Im surprised with the stage time and even more about the fact that I managed to beat Jack here.
SS3 - First crash. After a long right-hander I couldnt get the car go back in the dirrection of track (same problem as before - it wasnt just possible to get it back straight) so I crashed into trees that were in the inside and had to reverse out of there. Also after a jump my smooth setup didnt work so well and coming down from the jump it sent me spinning off the track. Lost quite a lot of time here.
SS4 - Crashed twice along with other small but dumb and time taking mistakes. Once I touched a tree with my back while sliding at high speed which sent me in a huge spin. Second crash was something really stupid, I dont even know how that happened but I simply crashed into a tree with my front and had to reverse out from there again.
SS5 - Was going really careful here, that stage scares the living crap out of me. Still managed to have a few big moments where in one of them I almost crashed into a tree (I think I actually touched it a tiny bit) when I was trying to avoid rolling the car.
SS6 - Rolled heavily, otherwise I was just being careful there so the time was a no surpriese.
SS7 - I was really surprised by the grip level here, felt like a total ice. That was just crazy, did a lot of tiny mistakes here which made me lose a lot of time all-together. Still managed to take a win in our session.
SS8 - Spun right before the hairpin, snowbanks here are just deadly, one of them pulled me in and I got so lucky to not hit something before I stopped. Lost a couple of seconds while I got back out on the track but I think I still won the stage in our session, big surprise, actually.
SS9 - Had no grip what so ever... It felt awful but somehow I got through that stage until... 100 meters before the finish line I rolled the car and had to call for help. It got me so angry that I had to walk around the house a little bit to calm down, otherwise I would have retired next stages.
SS10 - Was OK-ish, was going too wide and messy so the time isnt the best but at least I wasnt angry and could keep it clean through this stage
Also the best time in OC3 session, if I recall correctly.
SS11 - Good start here but then almost rolled my car before the 90-degree left-hander and to avoid that went into snowbank on the right side where I stalled my engine which I couldnt start for quite some time, lost there A LOT of time and Im really gutted about not having a single clean run around this crazy stage.
SS12 - A pretty good run, I believe. Even though it was a power stage I didnt push because I just know that I can lose too much here. I think I got another session best time here, a bit surprised as I thought others would push for the extra points.
A little bit gutted about that one CFH which probably didnt allow me to take a win in the session overall as well as probably cost me some places in the Overall / Class standings but even with that stupid CFH I think I had my best season opener in RDRC so Im happy about that. Sad to see my teammate so far off in the session but thats rally.
Thanks for organizing this, it was hell of a fun. Top job guys!
