    Here's a video of fellow THSCC Club Members Simon and Kieran Wright of Team USUK chasing Per Schroder in the STPR Rally right up to the finish line.

    W00t!

    For some reason my computer treats streaming videos as a collection of about 15 stills set to audio.

    Yep, I spun on that stage and Simon was right on my ass for the last bit. He didn't like it that I beat him the previous day :-)

    Simon wound up just a bit faster overall at the end of the event. We each had good and bad stages. That was one of my bad ones. Hard to stay consistent for that long.

    VLC player works fine too. The only media player you'll ever need again (for all OSes):

    How do you not hit trees? Don't screw up.

    Honestly, rally is fun because you can push it has hard as you feel comfortable--and that's very variable. I personally had issues with keeping my foot to the floor on the long straights. Approaching 80mph on those gravel roads make the non-curvy sections the most scary for me. Of course, that's where all the time is made up.....
