National Capital Rally

[raybak]

Looking forward to competing in the first round of the Australian Rally Championship this coming weekend. Good to have a home round for me. We'll be running our trusty old EVO 5 Lancer in the 4wd series. You can check out results at Official website of the Australian Rally Championship (http://www.rally.com.au)

Is still the regulation with results by heat apply, and not by overall rally ?

We broke a gearbox in stage 2, sourced one out of another EVO, so had to pull it out and then put it in our car.

Rejoined Sunday for the 2nd Heat and were doing well setting top 5 times, we broke a wheel and punctured on the 2nd last stage, changed tyre at end of stage. 3km into last stage lost all brakes, was quite a hairy ride to the finish without brakes. Ended up dropping a few spots but at least we got some points.

Car looks like it's been through a Mad Max film, even have a broken windscreen due to one of our service crew members breaking it in service :(

Next event for us will be SA in May.
