Just did some practice here.
The course length averages about 1.75 miles, so it takes less than three minutes to do two laps.
Maybe we should add more stages.

We can run for our usual about-1-hour.

was thinking about participating in this ...

Unsure if I can participate this week, which bums me out. Like last week, I'd be getting home at the very last possible second, so if I am not around when the room goes up, assume that the wolves have gotten me.

[clacksman]

Lousy public transit wolves, go tthose here too ... unless I'm getting those confused with cougars again. ???

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED

I'll be in if I'm back (not from the future...) in time.

In wrong car.

How many down do I need to count from the first Subaru Imprezza to get the RM?

Not sure offhand, and on PS3 browser so can't tell you right now, but the car list for next Tuesday doesn't include this thing so it doesn't matter.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sorry gents, bus was running behind.

[clacksman]

Pretty damn fun. Multiple crashes kept the time math too close to call most of the time. Had enough fun rallying this car over the last couple months that I felt a bit sad to unfavourite it.

ps gonna get the next Tuesday series thread put together asap

A spin in the third stage really cost me.
My car wouldn't accelerate up that steep hill.
I didn't know if using the clutch would help or if I should hit the brake and get the revs up.
Guess I better practice in case it ever happens again.
Can't wait to see what's planned for the next set of events.

Anything resembling a long first gear will do that even without engine damage. Using the clutch works, but then you have to use it for every shift until the next race or until you switch your shifter (hard to do when driving). It's painful to brake enough to stop and make it unclutch, but that's what I do when stuck at no revs pointed uphill.

Gotta agree, the Subaru was spectacular to drive, even though I only got to do the one event. I will definitely miss this when we move on, but this style of racing is just so much fun and different I think I am equally looking forward to whatever we drive in it next.
