VRC 2026: Monte Carlo
The first Championship outing in an AWD car was a tough one. Restricted to tarmac tires on the icy stages of Monte Carlo, the Rainforest Cafe prepped Fiesta Rally3 struggled for grip on 17 brutal stages. A few close calls, including a scramble back up a cliff on SS6. Mostly focused on survival, my pace was a bit lackluster. Placed 50th in class out of ~170 finishers.
A much more traditional rally, ALR was a great learning experience that developed my understanding of weight transfer. Unfortunately, damage sustained on SS3 hindered my pace until proper service after SS6. A frustrating handicap on an otherwise respectable performance. Competition in this league is incredibly tough. Placed 46th in class out of ~180 finishers.
