Info
We have made good times on fast-flowing roads. The Escort with mechanical diffs is clumsy. I don't think the factory cars would otherwise use active diffs.
The slide went wide behind the tower. The steering was at max but the line went wide, and we went through the flowers.
Every stage after the half point it feels like we lose some power. I'm not completely satisfied with my driving. Maybe the start position also makes some difference.

We played tactics to be third. The small roads are poison for us.
It was difficult to slow down enough. I had to stop and restart.
No more tactics, flat out all the time
