    Neuville had an oil leak apparently. He didn't turn up till at least an hour after Ogier who was first car. So yes, slightly swept road, although the road was fairly hard packed. Andreas looked one of the fastest, but results and the fact that he had 5 runs say otherwise.

    Andreas car also had a welder being used under it in service after, not sure that's a great sign!?

    Lefebvre was a bit ragged where we watched, and Paddon looked aggressive, but very different results!

    Rovanpera looked tidy but unspectacular, which is probably a good thing. Interestingly of the Australians, the fastest looked to be Dalton in the Skoda R5, followed by Reeves in the Mazda AP4, with both looking more aggressive than Rovanpera. Time will tell which ones of them make the finish I guess.

    Overall a nice day out, but yes the Aussie marshalls are very by the book, friendly but no ability to think about what is realistically safe, just focused on what they have been told by their bosses, which is a little sad. Tomorrow we will try find some good spots and get a few videos and photos as todays spot was pretty poor with too many trees in the way!


    Couple of pics, definitely need some more practice!







    Some pics of the Toyota spares:





    Toyota sump guard vs Hyundai:





    And the bare front end of the Hyundai, the adjustable angle to the splitter is particularly cool:

    Thanks for sharing Munkvy. Marshall’s in Aus can be difficult if you’re trying to go “out of the ropes areas”.

    Hope you can get to your spots early enough to wander in. Enjoy!

    Final semi technical pic:

    And the rather complex intake setup from the Toyota. Not sure what the sensor in it is?



    And some of the support cars:

    A rare sort of rally car down here:



    Just plain rare now:

    Very good level of performance from our 3 crews! Interesting as this shakedown is really representative of the rally... https://t.co/nnVJdbGrhI
