We have completed our Recce today, roads are good but look like they will break up quite quickly once the competition starts. Going to be very dusty for the whole event by the looks of it.

Tristan and I are car 57 which is 7th in the ACT series part of the event, so 25th on the road.

The car has a new gearbox after the dogbox broke at Minidulla 2 weeks ago. some new tyres for the weekend, should be some grip on the first passes anyway :)

There are only 5 stages repeated twice this weekend so 177km competitive is all we get over 2 days.

Hope to post some incar on Youtube on Sunday night.

No Minehaft this year, you have to wait until the 23rd May when the BMSC rally is run.

Looks like Pipeline stage is canned for Saturday, will have 3 runs in Kowen instead.

The engine broke on stage 2, after we set 3rd fastest time on stage 1. The other team cars are in 4th and 11th at the moment. dust was very bad with car intervals moved to 3 minutes.

Eli Evans had a big off, both him and Chris are Ok but car looks a bit hurt.

I'll be out there in the service park tomorrow with the video camera doing some interviews and cooking breakfast for our team.

Next rally for us is Lithgow on the 18th of April.
