RDRC S8 Round 1 - Rally Monte-Carlo (23rd - 29th January 2017)

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

man, when I was thinking that this night in Sweden armour 35. K Johansson has vanished from my bad dreams in 2WD- class, here it is popping in 2nd place at the moment. Can anyone enlight me to who this "alien" among us is?So I know where my goooooood thoughts go to )
Glad to see that my teammate finished the rally alive and well, hopefully I will do the same
@Ole Marius Myrvold any idea about my problem?and when are you going to do your runs, curious as heck

I've made to the end of Day 2 relatively unscathed so far, which was the only plan for me as I'm a novice when it comes to rallying. Was shaping up to have a close battle in the Minis between myself and Geroppa Geroore but he looks to have had some issues on Stage 6 which unfortunately have taken him out play.

Just finished this loong rally, feeling very happy to be at the finish! @Ole Marius Myrvold put some unwanted pressure on me in the magazine First half i was too cautious but after stage 10-11 the pace started to pick up a bit. Overshot a hairpin and had to reverse plus a quick roll is my only real mistakes, but my speed in the beginning bugs me a bit. Hopefully it's enough for a top 5 finish in my class anyway, leading overall at the moment but that will change soon i suppose

Good luck to all that has not yet driven!

wanted to do first two night stages, but this was not much fun, since i was scared stiff of actually DNFing right at the beginning. Decided to do next four sunny midday stages as well and enjoyedevery second of it. A stupid half turn in stage03 cost a little bit, other than that I am woefully slow but having a ball, 9th and last in group A atm, 42nd of 48 at this point. First service, my new crew got the Lancia back to 100% all around, service after 6 I will end up with sth. between 97% and 99% in each area, so still almost top.

perfect repair with 5 secs left, love the crew!

He is Swedish, that's all I know. But, I see he is close with Jonatan Åcerclinth after some stages, that is positive for us mere mortals. But then again, Kieran Poole are faster! The 2WD- will be a though class this season, but that's how we like it!

Your problem? Sorry Mr.C there seems to be a thing I have forgotten, please enlighten me again? I am not sure when I'll do the rally either to be honest, not the next 2-3 days at least. I need to convince myself that the rally is championship are running smooth, so I don't get distracted

Practice makes perfect, hopefully! And is that what you call a mini-victory?

Haha I remember you from Svenska RBRSerien quite a long time ago, and things I didn't remember, @Roy Magnes remembered. There is a tale about a Swedish guy with a broken sound card doing a whole RBR-event without any sounds at all and still winning his class

One question... the final ranking is for all the platforms or anyone have his ranking?

When the rally ends, the results from all three platforms will be combined

my problem was that nobody seems to know this guy, and either I am blind but don't see him in the sign-up sheet also, so must be some famous person that nobody wants to reveal
Just got the parcel and looking at stage times it's entertaining)

Are you Tommie Lindberg? because your stages with that Peugeot 306 Maxi were really impressive, beating me by over a minute (even if the half of it is from SS11), I think none can beat you from your class.. Very well driven mate!

[Joakim Skalstad]

wooohooo!!
Made it to the first checkpoint with no big problems!

My goal for this rally is to finish all stages.. so i am currently driving on just about 75-80% of what i use to do on these stages..
But at this point, the points are more important than spending my hard earned $$$ on fixing this green 306

Planning on driving the rest tomorrow if my health stays the same.. i have one 306 only 3 seconds ahead of me that i aim to overtake

 

[Kubica2012]

that's what l saw after finishing all the stages

there could be some shorter events too in an other league by racedepartment, l would like it
