2011 South African National Rally Championship

Well I just want to see what speed you boys are hitting at the end of the airfield runway on Montevideo, I can watch 5 cars there then move to the Ellingham hairpin, which I know from previous years is really great to watch from. I'll probably go there and park for an hour before moving to Esperanza, apparently the end is quite good to watch from (although not a spectator point - it helps when your father is the route director and can tell you these things! ;) ). Hopefully after about an hour there I can duck to the service park and say howzit to you and a few other guys before doing round 2.

Seems like the only 2 difficult to keep up with are Montevideo and Ellingham cos the end of Monte and the start of Ellingham are only 800m apart, meanwhile it's 6km for the spectators to travel, the only advantage being that the Ellingham spectator points are late in the stage. A bit of thinking to do but I'll see what we can manage.

Well it seems that Barreis is speechless, all he can do is grin at us, so he must be worse than me! :p

I personally thing Barreis needs to save his pennies and come out to good old RSA and watch a round of our championships.

The Sasol next month is a good bet, just not alot of time to save :-)

Thanks very much! I except the invitation and yes, I'm a big fan of your championship! Before july it's impossible 'cos I must work. :) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We've woken up to a dull and overcast day here in Toti, maybe that rain is going to be a reality. Then again, it hasn't actually rained yet and maybe the cloud has come over today and will miss things tomorrow and Saturday.

Looking at the weather channels they predicted rain from today on all the way up to Monday.. but then again.. also the only job in the world where you can lie and still keep your job.. :)

You're forgetting all government positions there Neil. ;)

I'm told that they predicted rain last weekend and we only got a few drops and hardly any clouds so who knows. Can't trust these weather guys. Well at least the tyre choice for the S2000 cars will be simple, dry tyres or, er, dry tyres. :p

Bit of sad news from testing today, Visser du Plessis rolled his Peugeot 207 S2000 and sustained terminal suspension damage putting him out of the event.
