Nice proper blips on the downshifts. I suppose clutch is not needed for handbrake (seq only) but useful for revving up by dumping the clutch to get the car going and prevent stalling?
I do the blips (on pure reflex) on the downshifts to avoid stalling the engine, which is really easy to do in the heavy breaking zones. The handbrake on these older 4WDs often lock all 4 wheels because of how the diffs were configured, so I have increased the "punch" of the rear diff to get the car properly rotated, and that is more effective with a clutch kick 🙂
I agree, without practice it is very very hard to get through the stages with good pace. I will also practice for the next one, hope it will be gravel.
there are alwyays SRM Prep. rallies in the online rally, I will prioritize them, maybe will do also some rallies with the given stages, if we already know them.
And the stage list is also released well in advance, so there are all the oppurtunities in the world to practice. But life has a habit of getting in the way of such activities, with stuff like understaffing at work and vacation trips once summer hits properly. Next time, though. Next time. 😁
At what point? 😆 I should in reality be well ahead of him given the difference in our cars, but Jake is a fast guy, so he do good results regardless of the car!

Haha! It is from the only practice I had before I started the rally, so I should really know how things were going to go 😆
