Had only time for a single race today. And since I enjoyed the Rally car a lot yesterday I chose Walter Röhrls legendary Audi today, in completly stock condition.
Started on FM4 which is good for almost exactly 3 laps. Rain started at the end of lap 3 but I didn't want to pit cause I knew I wouldn't be able to do a five lap stint. So I drove the 3rd lap on RH in light rain. No problem. Rain stopped at the end of lap 3, I refueled and renewed my tires and did the remaining 4 laps on FM6 with a little bit of fuel management.
The car is indeed very enjoyable. Rather low top speed (~260) but acceleration feels amazing, even on FM6. This car never heard about turbo lag. You hit the throttle and the car pulls and revs like crazy. And the "vroom vroom, vroom" sound somehow is extremely satisfying🙂
The car isn't the most easy to drive. Have to admit I had my mind somewhere else today and couldn't really concentrate, so I crashed a few times. The car doesn't like heavy braking when going into a corner and is not so easy to recover when it gets out of control.
So while this car is not among the most rational choices for this race, it's very fun and satisfying to drive. And hey, it's Walter Röhrls car!😎
