Started on stage 2, went ok, only hit one tree, and one other minor off that I recall. Stage 3, Mineshaft, got off to a bad start and got worse from there. Had hoped for a sub-6 minute stage but it didn't happen. After the first off the car didn't handle properly for the rest of the stage. Stage 3 was a disaster then whammo - Error: server has not started the game. :( Stage 5 was ok, only a couple minor side bangors into trees. I like the East-West stages the least. Stage 6 went pretty good, had a bad off, but not too much trouble, just slowed down a bit too much probably after the off, which hurt my time. I would really like to see some of the video of the original real races done on these stages when Richard Burns was driving. Stage 1 finally - I was cooking along pretty good, got a bit too comfy I guess, and over-cooked one 'medium' right and hit and spun off a tree.

I needed 40 points to catch Michael K in the overall standings, but didn't quite do it, closed the gap to 28 points. My Japan rally was bad and it really hurt my overall standings. Ended up with 5th place overall. Much better than I've ever done in any road racing.

Love the RBR rally, looking forward to doing it again.
