Thanks! Imagine my face when I got that lap..:eek:It's all because I change to manual..I don't know why I didn't do it before..

I also found that shifting at 4500, as opposed to the 5000 I was shifting at made a difference. This was suggested by @Ettick. So if you're using an automatic and it shifts at redline, you're at a big disadvantage.


I shift at around 4500 rpm, maybe a bit less. I'm not sure if this is optimal, though.
 
It’s been a while since my last WRS race, but this combo looked so fun, that I had to give a go. 👍

First session:

12.467
35.700
And it is indeed great fun. :D
 
Finally a TT to put my no abs skills to the test
100km run so far

T1 12.201
T2 35.124

Dumped a little time in middle of sector three but know where I'm going wrong
 
Took a while to remember how to drive a three on the tree, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

12.312
35.279

Not sure if I'll get another shot, our daughters coming home for Christmas break tomorrow. I might be able to get an early morning run in on Saturday though.

I think this is the first time I've driven no abs for any amount of time, it helps that you barely use the brakes. Fun stuff.
 
Can I haz 4th gear?

12.418
35.585

Not very competitive splits, but I haven't run that many laps yet. I'll hopefully improve some over the weekend.

Very enjoyable, by the way, Pekka!
 
Liking the nostalgic's of this race. Anyone racing with one arm and auto tranny? Had surgery on my right rotator cuff so it's still sore.
 

Funny that picture is shot a week later after I visited Kleine Scheidegg for a hiking trip.

I'm now having fun in the Hudson around the place trying to stay ahead off the polizei because you're not allowed to drive with a car there.

You,re home ground Stefan?
 
Final attempt

T1: 12.272
T2: 35.272

Can I enter the race on Tues if I wish or do I have to wait till I've completed 3 qualifiers and get my division ranking?

If you have not registered for the racing series do so here. You don't have to wait until you do all 3 qualifiers to race.

No, I've been there for some ski races a few years ago - looks really close to the real hotel there

Better to get away from the Police in swizzerland concerning their fees :cheers:
