        First race is over, was last in my class, in first round failed with tyre choice, changed the tyres and other 2 rounds were pretty good. Track was 80% ice, 20% gravel and snow. Overall I'm quite happy, still in early learning stages with rwd car. Videos coming up aswell somewhere in next week.

          Screw it. Someone's gotta come in last. It might as well be you. The important thing is getting in the game :^)

                    Very cool. Interesting countryside. It looked like you were going pretty fast on the straightaways.

                      Not really fast, but i don't know, didn't have time to check the speed. Race itself was mainly around old soviet collective farm, that's why all those hangars and agricultural stuff.

                        Another ice track/snow race over, had good 1st round but totally failed the other two rounds, finished 5th.

                        Few shots:

                            Thanks mate!

                            Trying to upload the onboard vid during next week, unfortunately it was -20C whole time so camera didn't work propely, it got bit laggy.
                            Now almost a month til the next sprint in the same place, should be pretty intresting due to it takes place in the nighttime in total darkness.

                                I have but most of the time car ain't running and couldn't heat up enough during 4-5 minutes while driving on stage.
