Title: Rallye Defi Video
Post by RyanHuber on 09/16/6 at 18:54:03

Hi all,

I've finally gotten some of our in-car video from Defi uploaded. Enjoy!

In this stage we lost the exhaust system, had a flat, and somehow bent both rear strut rods. I still don't know what we hit to do that!

This stage, probably the most technical stage in Canada, we caught a Group5 Mitsu Lancer (2wd) about half way through the stage.

This stage is really, really fast, and by the end we'd caught a Golf that started a minute ahead of us.

I'm actually kinda embarassed when I watch some of these, how badly I messed up and how often!

Here's a few of the short stages:

Ste-Agathe 2
After watching this I finally figured out why I rolled. You can clearly see how hard I was pushing on the previous turns. I was going fast, and using very little (if any) brakes. Instead I was using the sideways action of the tires to slow the car down. Since I didn't do the recce I never noticed the patch of tarmac on the outside of that 90-left. When I tried to go sideways there, the rear tires just gripped and did not slide out. As a result, I had no braking effect at all. Oh well, very little damage was done, and it was great learning experience, and we still finished the rally anyways, so it all worked out.

Montipelier 1
This was the first "tarmac" stage. Also the first time I've rallied on tarmac, it was alot of fun. But there were many gravel patches. One of them caught me at a really bad time and resulted in the scariest spin I've ever had.

Montipelier 2
Same stage again, this time I spun at the first tight turn because the rear tires were still cold.
