It is hard to compare anything. I, and probably most of us, start with a low budget wheel (mine was dfgt) attached to a desk with a normal chair. In the meantime I bought better equipment with a playseat, a Thrustnaster ts-pc and a VR. Yes, it feels so much better and I very much like it. But also I myself got much better in driving and get good results. Offcourse I like it more with good results, but don't think it is all from the equipment. It is partly because with good equipment I have better feedback but mostly because I got better in sim racing.

Started rally Spain with a real bad setup. The 6R4 was very tricky so I had one or 2 spins in every one of the first 3 stages. Lucky I was not to hit something in those spins. After I changed some things in the setup it was a lot better. Still not the fastest but it was decent. Then @denim398 retired and @Dytut had his own troubles so I finished an unexpected second. Looking back at this season I just regret I didn't drove the Audi.

The first 2 stages I had a real close fight with @denim398, the difference was only half a second. Then on ss3 I had a spin. Nothing serious, not fast, no banking, didn't hit anything but a flat tire. This must be my most unlucky season ever... The rest was good.

In 1 of the Volland cars is Kobe Pauwels (son of Koen Pauwels) in preparation for a full 2021 season.

A bit strange. If Bennett says he doesn't race because he can not use the fuel his car/engine needs, this should also be a problem for the Megane's??

Germany did bite me 😈 After a decent ss1 I crashed in ss2 losing about 10 seconds. Then I started to do very well winning 2 stages. After ss6 I was second wirh a bit more than 10 seconds behind, the 10 seconds I lost on ss2. Then came ss7. It was good untill I crashed in THE LAST corner. Pointing in the wrong direction I took an extra 15 seconds to make the last 20 meters. Outch, that hurts... now in 3th place.

Again a bad rally with a puncture in ss2. And a heavy crash in ss7 🤮

Yeah, some very good drivers battled it out last year, bu this year the 2 top aces of this era were back and showed they are just better.

Well, this started bad. A puncture already in the 2e sector. At a place I know very well not to cut.... The rest of the rally was good but not relevant anymore? Untill now I am the only finisher...

Exactly the question 😀 You can argue about mediums but the hard tire is pointless anyway.

To compare you should do the same srages with mediums. In fact you assume the mediums last longer, as far as I tested my opinion is they don't. Softs start to downgrade after 2 long stages, so do mediums.

Gosh, JZ was drinking Vodka again 😀

The time I won on you in a stage was, when you used mediums from ss3 on, about the same as in the first 2 stages. Maybe for Finland the tire doesn't have such a big impact, Finland is more about setting the car good before you jump into the next corner.

I used softs. I always use softs, in my opinion the time softs last is the same as the time mediums last.

And there was already rally Sweden. Found a good setup. But was a bit to calm first stage. Then it went faster. Stages 2-6 were good. The came ss7. Halfway I made a stupid mistake and had a very heavy crash at full speed. Offcourse a flat tire and a reset. The car drove like a crab. So decided to change the tire... The car still drove like a crab, steering a lot to the left to go straight. At least I made it 😨
