I started the first stage - 3 right, 6 left run wide and roll car. Get going again left 5, roll car. So lost who knows how much time in the first 300m! Had another roll on the 3rd stage just after I'd repaired the windscreen! At least that one I recovered from it straight into a hairpin and barely lost a second haha.

The event was great. My driving not so...
The stage before service I slid down the edge and scored a 10 second penalty. Then after service I was driving like a cut snake and managed 3 roll overs within the same sector. 3rd one I punctured the front left tyre and it was choice of cop a 1min plus roadside fix or do something else lol.

Drove like a granny in places and made it to the end with no more rolls and just a couple of spins. Wales will be hell!

was going ok, until half way through stage 4 my missus rang me, so I hit pause and answered the call, came back and all concentration gone. Had 4 offs and cost me over a minute lol. Still have the last 2 to go but will be going to make any up.

The Polo feels like an F1 car after a Lancia 037 Damn good car. Started to get a feel for it but it took a few stages.

The Hyundai annoys me. Can't see what Gear i'm in
Even with my spin off the road during the last stage, I still managed to pull a decent time. Probably the most comfortable i've felt in any car in DiRT

I had a blast in that event, the Festiva is awesome to drive and im way more comfortable in a 4wd.
Had a pretty solid run, 2 offs and a couple of 'almosts' but managed to pull together some great sequences through some sections.
I had no idea what gear I was in either (usually have phone setup as dash but forgot tonight) caused a few issues but nothing that caused any major dramas

I've joined up too. Went it without praccy, the best praccy is just doing it, correct? Then I've realised this is Greece...the most treacherous & hated place, LOL.
I was not last after stage1, great!
I was last after stage2...
Then by stage 4 I have gone up two spots from last. Car in immaculate condition. Fantastic.
This is when I got cocky...and predictably, limped home way last after visiting the local sights off track. But at least I've managed to finish
You guys are devilishly fast.

I really thought I was in with a shot of winning... Then Ej and petey come along
I'm actually quite happy with my result. First rally where I haven't had any real big offs and damage to the car was always less than 10% to various parts.
