The new Pirelli Scorpion gravel tyre seems to be working well, so we are no longer worried about the harder compound.

Lets rally!

Gigi Galli: "Tannat! How are you my friend! Why don't you buy me a drinK?"

Tannat: "Gigi-you know you still owe me 1000 Euros. Remembe the girl in Cyprus last year? Her father.."

G: "Yes, yes, yes-I remember. Next round when we are in Europe, okay? I'm waiting for a check from Pirelli."

T: "You're doing well this year, Gigi. People are actually going to begin describing you as level-headed if you are too careful."

G: "Yes-your advice has been good for me. And your assistance in the off-season... I am very grateful Tannat. I know in the past I have been somewhat reckless."

T: "Spain 2005-you should have it tattooed on your forehead."

G:"Yes, yes. I threw that one away, didn't I?"

T:"Just keep it steady, use the training I gave you, and this can be a big year for you."


G: "Yes. You are so right, Tannat. Hey-I must go. The Stobart crew has arrived. I wish you luck for the rally, okay?"

T: "1000 Euros in Jordan, okay?"

G: "Yes, Tannat. I not forget"

Tannat orders a drink and considers the future.....

A far cry off our PB of 1:25.75. We're losing time in the twisty middle section.
Setup for our best time was suspension -5, gearbox 0, brake bias -3, brake power +3, steering +5.

Perhaps steering is a bit too fast. We'll have a look...

Consider yourself teamleader this time, I can't get under 1.31.

[tannat]

Consider yourself teamleader this time, I can't get under 1.31.

Keep it tight, tight, tight on these stages, Juha. Plot the stage like a race track and find apexes. If you aren't close to them on your runs you are losing time...

Perhaps Mr. Haenen could do a run for us...
