I'd like to add in terms of setup that don't put too much arb especially in the front. As you said, a lot of parts in this rally is taking slices off the roadside. Now i'm not gonna get into an argument about how much cut is "cheating", but i do find that a lot of the anti cut poles are very generous in terms of placement. Too much arb can cause your car to be thrown off if you hit a bump with just one side of the car. if you find the car too oversteery, i'd suggest to look elsewhere first and not put too much arb. Obviously there is a compromise between everything but i find that in an alpine a110, i just put front springs and dampers to stiff and leaving the arb at default (right in the middle). If i put more arb, the car gets thrown off on bumps. Also, there's a bridge in the Loeboekmalaka stage where it's followed by a steep drop and most of the times i just go full speed and jump. if i put more arb in the alpine, the car somehow gets thrown to the right side, eventhough visually it looks like there's no bump at all. Also i'd suggest that depending on the car's power, you should aim for better acceleration in terms of gearing especially underpowered or non turbo cars in the longer stages due to the mountainous part and the kebun raya solok/batukangkung part being more technical and longer. for the short and more high speed stages though you can just tune as usual to reach good top speed. bit of the trivia part though, as an indonesian myself, the major islands are quite different in terms of geographic feature. like for example, the island of borneo wouldn't have the same type of soil as sumatra due to the lack of volcanoes in borneo, while sumatra is basically one long chain of volcanoes, therefore the mineral makeup of the soil would be quite different (i'm not a geologist, this is just something i was told in school). each island also has unique cultural identities like language and traditions and we acknowledge this diversity as a unique part our nation. even one island can have multiple cultures, let alone different islands. why they call it pacifico? idk, probably since indonesia is part of the asia PACIFIC rally championship and they ran out of ideas lmao. cool video overall, i never thought someone would say the default tune is acceptable for this rally but yeah this rally doesnt really have a very "outstanding" feature compared to like finland, estonia, or greece and more of an all rounder type of rally so not much tuning for a specific case.

Hey, Skyrex! Hows the portugal video going? Really hope to see that one soon, no pressure though. Also are you planning on making a new championship in your club?
