WRC Modern Classics Season 2001. Safari Rally Kenya

[Spinerkopin]

Oh no.... Did you have 2 spare tires on board?

Of course no 🥲

 

[Speedster502]

Think this one is going to be another rough and bumpy ride.

Had a pretty appalling start to NZ with a puncture in SS1 and then flying off a cliff in SS2. Think my rally is basically over, but I'll try and get to the end just incase I can scoop up any points 😂

I'm very happy with 3rd in Finland! Looking forward to New Zealand, lovely stages.

What happens with people competing in cars that aren't a part of this championship? Assume they just get removed when the results are posted here? Just noticed the current fastest times for NZ have been set in the 2008 Focus.

Yeah they get removed from results and kicked from the club. There's nothing thay can be done other than that, can't limit cars or anything which is frustrating.

Repeat offenders get banned.

Kenya was a brutal test for the drivers, in stages, and in length. In the end it was @Spinerkopin who took yet another victory, finishing just 9 seconds ahead of fellow Subaru driver @Belgianwaffle . @PickyReptail8 picks up a solid 3rd place in the Focus.

In Finland, the tides turned, @Belgianwaffle capitalising on a rare set of issues for @Spinerkopin , who suffered a double puncture on the first stage, to take victory and close the gap in the championship considerably. @PickyReptail8 took another very solid podium in the Focus with @SharkyOB 3rd for the blue oval.

[Cabelmania]

I'm back, like I've promised and I fell victim to the high track degradation in the 1st stage already (picture included)

Fortunately the yellow spanish train kept on rollin' and the rest went without hitches

 

[Tool1312]

Well I just finished New Zealand and so far I'm 2nd, behind Cabelmania ( naturally lol ), though for anyone else there's a section on Orewa ( stage 3 ) that needs a bug fix. Approx 3/4 of the way through sector 3 I encountered an invisible object on the right side of the road which pulled the car into the bushes. The graphics show some leaves being thrown up but there's nothing there. I did only lose 7 seconds with a reset to track which doesn't affect any results but it's a bug that shouldn't be there.
It won't let me post the clip

Here's a few shots

Is that right before the arch of the last kilometer? I think I had that too in another club 🙄

Yeah I think so. Here's the clip fim gamer dvr

[PickyReptail8]

My First rally in the wonderfull New Zealand! I tried to push the Blueoval hard as i can but wasnt enough to catch Subaru maniac @Belgianwaffle 🤭 but had a nice fight with @Cabelmania for 2nd (at the moment)☝🏻 But no matter the result i had an absolute mistake free rally. Im really proud for that

 

[tomo 427 S/C]

I'm really sad that I've been so busy that I missed the last couple of rallies.

Can't wait to get back into it, I've missed the anxiety and stress.

 

[SharkyOB]

Finished NZ last night, in 4th behind the aliens

Very happy with my run; had a single off track excursion but it only cost me a couple of seconds and I didn't hit anything. Just need to work on my outright pace if I want to challenge the three who are up front. Also, managed to mess up the shakedown so I only had two sets of tyres for the event. Defo still learning!

 

[Speedster502]

My run in NZ continued to be awful. Made it to the end (if you can say that after being 46 minutes down on everyone else). Ended up doing one push on the final stage to gather up some level of self confidence

 

[Spinerkopin]

NZ done, overall quite a safe run, except a little barrel roll and a nearly destroyed engine by blasting into one of the "finish gates" at the end of stage 4. Good thing it was just before the long service

Here's some pictures, also adding Kenya and Finland

 

[Adam Barber]

Well, New Zealand was going well then the game crashed half way through stage 7. Second time WRC has done that since the new season pass thing. I'll leave the championship there.
