OTL PS4 r/simrally League – Sweden: Round 5 Report January 28, 2019

For the fifth round of the OTL PS4 r/simrally League, the drivers were playing in the snow of Värmland, Sweden, which includes a good mix of tight twisty corners and very fast sections were the cars reach speeds of 180kph+.

The Värmland rally was won by Macerronnie, winning every stage on the way, which made it 4 round wins out of 5 for him, and also made sure he secured the title with one round left.

Watch his onboard here:

25 seconds behind Macerronnie was loco-major who made his debut in the league around his home venue. With a second place in his very first rally here he promises to be a guy to watch out for in the last round. He was followed by Rek_Les, who just like Macerronnie grabbed his 5th podium in a row.

In 4th was AmbientMike, who had his best finish of the season so far and managed to beat another debutant, JohannessonNOR by just 1.5 seconds. They also had a very good battle with khandi905, but a crash dropped him down to 6th.

A bit further behind was PiuhaPee, who was followed by Rastafab420 and riznick. Rastafab managed to beat riznick by just one second for 8th, and the top ten was completed by nagadj.

But the battles were not limited to the top 10, there were several gaps smaller than 1 second for the places 10-20. The fights are hard for every single position this season.

The results were the following:

The season finale will be held at the legendary Wales Rally GB. While the title is already decided, all the other places are still up to grabs and with a lot of rain forecast it could very easily bring the roadside trees into play and give us quite a few DNF’s!
