Sweden went pretty ok for me, only six or so pirouettes, i think i even managed to finish one stage without spinning out. Some parts of the Swedish stages feel like they have no margin for error when trying to drift, cut it to close and get caught in snow and spin out, too late and smash into the snow wall and lose momentum. Really hard to find a rhythm and keep it going.

Nice driving there Xpander! Good to see it's possible to drive fast on the snow stages, i'll have to practice those some more. :)
It's really interesting to see a video of you doing the same stages - I was 2 minutes behind on that first stage, and generally 30 - 60 seconds behind on the other stages. I did have more spins/crashes on some stages, but even my relatively clean ones were quite a way off the pace. I was about 8 minutes behind overall.

I think I'm going too cautiously and braking far too much at almost every corner, because I'm scared of "no restarts", and after exploding my tires and running several spectators over in Finland, I thought I better calm down a bit :) Sweden was relatively clean, in my terms i.e. I hit no trees, killed nobody and finished with all my tires. I spent quite a bit of time getting stuck in the snow at the sides and spinning though. Fun anyway :)

I tried playing this morning but gave up in frustration when one of our neighbours started busting up their bathroom with a pneumatic hammer. I simply couldn't hear the co-driver. I'll try again during the weekend if I can find the time.

Oh Sweden, always a new surprise up your sleeve.

This week:
20 seconds - jump off the road and get lodged between two trees.
2 minutes - faceplant into a bridge railing and get a DNF

Shortest event ever.
