Rally of Scotland 2011

[J4MIE]

J4MIE, can you tell me who are the Scottish drivers and co-drivers as there aren't again no Scottish flags on the entry lists? Enjoy the rally.

For International events, competitors must display the flag of the country they have their International competition license from - and so drivers from Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland must use the UK flag - unless they have another country's competition license. For instane Tom Cave got his in Latvia so has to have a Latvian flag (don't know if this is still the case but he has in the past).

Scottish Competitors:

#09 Alister McRae
#11 David Bogie & Kevin Rae
#34 John MacCrone & Stuart Louden
#38 Ruary MacLeod & Keir Beaton
#30 Graeme Schoneville & Michael Hendry

In particular , Graeme Schoneville is great to watch - always trying hard, sideways everywhere, will be good to see if he can keep this up in a Civic Type R but I hope so

Thanks J4MIE.

Just looked at the start time of Drummond Hill 2 which is 18:52 and it won't be 100% dark by then so will more than likely be a small advantage to be the first few cars on the road! They should have delayed the start by about 10-15 minutes or so I think. Although in the dark you can't see the drops.................

I personally prefer to drive in full dark than half/half, but then I am not a rally driver. I don't think it makes much difference to the pros full dark vs. light.

How about a Cetinkaya prediction game
Options are:
Stage when first 'off' occurs
Stage when last 'off' occurs
No of R2 cars that finish ahead of her if she makes it to the end.
I've watched her in a Fiesta R2 and the 207 S2000 -the Scottish conditions will be a real shock to her system!

She has been here before, if I remember correctly she held up someone (can't remember who.... French?) in Blackcraig last year.

cheersJ4MIE, was it this soft last year though? My failing memory is that it was very hard. If so she won't have met anything like this event promises to be, normally she sticks to tarmac (when not flying off it) or rock hard gravel (a la Turkey). Anyway my prediction is - first off SS2, Final off (on super rally) SS6

[J4MIE]

Sorry Mintex, I see your point My memory must be fading also as I can't remember what it was like last year, was dry I think but dusty.
