Liking the flow of this, but struggling with very last section.

I remember struggling with that uphill blind right turn mid way through the lap before the uphill chicane.

Started another session here and easy to get back into it quick which is good seen a few 26.1's and some mid 47's although my best clean save so far has...

Haven't tried this one yet, still living it in real life! @Vagabond here is some snow to share with you. That is a 1M long shovel and my 2 year old on top of the snow bank. I had to throw her up there, I couldn't just place her. This is my front yard 3 weeks ago, not much has changed.

Yeah that's my kinda snow, Al. 👍 We've not had snow like that for a couple of winters now. This was our lane a couple of years back:

First session after testing the combo. The thing I love about rally most is I get to practice precise counter-steering. Any mistake by under/over correction results in lost time. You can really feel it when you are on grip.

Great splits guys this is a cool combo and very relaxing until the wake up at T2 every lap then its back on the throttle until same time next lap haha... I love it 👍

Great T2 Chris my best is .515 so we both in the same time frame... fortunately most of the work is just after T2 so it's a matter of who can hold the uphill exit best methinks
you have really turned into a great rallier mate! always a pleasure to race you on the dirt and snow... Good luck

I saw a .4 T1 once, it was nice while it lasted.

[Jump_Ace]

How about a blast from the past @Mr P ? I'll use the old leaderboard for these last two events 👍 Gimme a few min to get everyone's splits on there.

Jerome

 

[Mr P]

You will see it again Jerome keep pushing mate!... no brakes until approaching T2 just use gears and throttle 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Best fun I've had in a while, this. Love it.

Best so far 26.118 and 47.338 (after a .2 1st sector) Good luck, Ron. 👍

 

[Mr P]

Hey.... are we in the same car? slow down man barely sat my arse down and put slippers on and you miles ahead already very nice splits 👍

I already had my slippers on, see... driving slippers too. Xmas present from the missus. Is that an unfair advantage?

• All slippers must be of the moccasin style with a non-grip sole.

Thanks, mate. You'll catch up in no time.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Here ya go guys. I'll add it to the OP as well

It looks like the only team that got points this week is the 'Old Farts'. The times and handicaps are there, just no points.

Which sheet? It all looks correct to me...

Seen a 47.7 👍

Nice going Kelly. 👍

That's me done for the night, time for some hot chocolate and bed.... Pretty pleased with this so far, I think. Good luck chaps and Kelly.

That is strange, on my iPad it does not show points. I then tried on my PC and it does show. I guess the ipad is not rendering that page correctly.

I need to figure T1 out, looking at the leaderboard.

So much fun! Dipped into the 26s a few times now but stuff it in T3 being too cautious. Wish my pedals were more precise for this but the wife would kill me if I bought new ones now. Guess I should pay for that house thing first.

No chance for the handbrake rule being temporarily lifted for this rally time trial?

I hope not... I spent 2 sessions on this already trying to keep up with Chris! no rule changes now please 👎

Another quick go, seen 26.2's but can't seem to work the quickest way around T2 yet.

In my opinion. Rally events should allow handbrake. It's just silly not to.

 

[Mr P]

In my opinion. Rally events should allow handbrake. It's just silly not to.

I agree and used the handbrake a lot in many rally events over the years... but not really needed here as it wont help anywhere other than the little uphill just after T2 and especially after running 2 long sessions and countless laps to close in on our best times without using it

.. but yeah on dirt events the handbrake is a must on many tracks 👍

I am starting to have a blast with this.👍
