12 hours left to attempt the 2nd Quattro Quattro Quattro Killer Challenge round - Finland’s jumps need a lot more Audis over them!

So far we have had 6 starters, 4 of whom have finished successfully and 2 who have sadly DNFed. With the finishers so far separated by just 3m30s, there’s lots of opportunity to get a couple of points or more before we head to Spain for Round 3 from tomorrow.

Flippen wanted to get a quick run in after work since I finished early. Forgot to plug in my wheel… No wonder I went Terminal on the first stage. Sigh, I should stop doing that. Also I only realised it was unplugged the evening when I told my nephew that he can plug in his charger by my pc.

Round 2 of the Quattro Quattro Quattro Killer Challenge is done. Lower participation than Round 1, but a very slightly better percentage of Finishers, so there’s that.

:1st_place_medal: P1 to @Aldyr again, who had another tight rally at the top with eventual :2nd_place_medal: P2 finisher @Boogey again. A nice (and close!) :3rd_place_medal: P3 for a first time podium visit by @LazyDemoni - nicely done!!

Finishes for @Deadlypinecone, myself, and @the9avenger9 as well, with @Entity and @Dragonic classified as DNF but getting that all important Championship point. That table, at the midway point, looks like this:

@aldyr moves 6 points clear of @Boogey, with @Deadlypinecone and @LazyDemoni now share the third step on the provisional championship podium. And despite his DNF, @Dragonic is just 2 points shy of knocking them both off that P3 pedestal.


Up next, Round 3 takes us to sunny :es: Spain.

Watch out for those roadside metal crash barriers - they take no prisoners if you look at them from a bad angle, never mind what they do to cars that make contact with them… :imp:

Sadly the week got away from me and I didn’t get in my run. Will try do this event sooner.

Dirt Rally procrastination - it’s a real thing.

And I chose the wrong tyres…

Oh no… not again. Switching from driving with your “Flame On” golf clubs straightaway to driving a Group B rally car clearly wasn’t such a good idea :expressionless:

If I didn’t know he was Estonian, I’d guess he was Finnish. Ice cool and crazy calm.

Did my Spanish stages yesterday. Had a big roll over early on Stage 2 resulting in front puncture - no way to steer without taking the puncture repair penalty. Got told “the engine light is on, take it easy” towards the end of that Stage. Repaired what I could in the break, started Stage 3 with the same message from the co-driver. Nursed a very unpowered engine all the way to the end. So now the next person to go can get green stages across the board without any issue. :smiley:

The Spanish sunset scenery is very pretty if you catch the light just right. I call this one “Beauty and the Battered Beast”.
