Damn I always forget the TRC, thanks slider

Ok guys has anybody practiced for this? Im not expecting any times so how are people's cars handleing/feeling? how are people likeing the track?

I havnt driven my car yet but i remember from our last visit there that Stage B is a right proper slag so im gonna say that will be my worst stage time.

(so long as i dont mess up a gear change and blow the motor again like i did in Stage D lol)

As always Top 3 is my aspirational goal and Top 5 is my realistic goal. I'll be dissapointed if im lower then 5th...

It's looking like the Team's title is VW TDI Martini's to lose!
But with only twn points separating the top two in the drivers table and with general only a coupld of points behind that it's certainly all to play for as the TRC heads to Germany

[Slider S15]

Ive gotta keep my head...

A top 5 here and the dropped rounds system means i wont have finished out side the Top 5 at any event regardless of what happens at Kaido in the Finale. (coz if i do finish outside the top 5 there it will be dropped unless i finish badly here aswell)

Sam and General are much further behind on Raw points (and running joint 2nd if you go by that instead) but are much further behind me in Raw points so ive got more of a safety than they do.

But its going to be tough.... I'll give it my all to secure my first ever TORA Championship title!

[HCR generaltso]

have some radio free time while at the back of the grid.

rally hasnt gone well for me...not very good sectors.

[Slider S15]

Rally has gone badly for me too...

Stage 1, crash

Stage 2, Crash

Stage 3, Roll!

Stage 4, Not bad and half decently quick

Stage 5, Broken engine and a small trip into the Barriers

.... I predict a dropped round.....
