What did they use?

I know his dad has an ex-Prodrive Mini recce car, maybe that one?

Yes, they have but it's still not a motivation for them to spend their time in recce cars.

So it's your job, much more exiting?

Did the 2 stages today. Not the best place on SS1, very hard to access the stages in a normal spot as organizers try to gather spectators like sheeps. We tried a lot of options, but the stage didn't look so nice. So our place on first stage wasn't too good, the place was too fast, too easy to take it flat out. On the second place we switched our place during the passing of tourist drivers. First place was a fast right one with big cut (see photo) before heavy braking before a junction left. Very spectacular for the "big" cars. For the DS3's, Fiesta's, R1 cars etc, we went to another place a few hundred meters from the other place. A fast right one with cut/bump before a T-right, also very nice braking. What was most impressive for me today, was the stability of the VW Polo's. It looks like the Polo WRC's are glued on the tarmac, really crazy (but it doesn't make it more spectacular). The DS3 WRC for example is moving a lot more, already tending to lift a wheel when there's some small bump. Also very nice spectacle from the DS3's and Fiesta R2's, you see they really go for it (unlike the tourist drivers in better machinery).

A quick photo of the not so surprising leader...


We drove SS2 and seen practically half of SS1, and I can say today's stages were not "WRC-worthy" in my opinion. More and most likely better action tomorrow.
