Just need to try and work out how to get it onto my phone now

Thanks, Keep-her-lit thats just great :) http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...er.php?u=93518

what a partnership utter trust in one another, terriffic bit of in car that just shows what teamwork is all about.

it doesnt matter what 16 18 22 24 is to us it means a alot to that partnership

If you can find yourself a copy of On & Off 2 (its an irish rallying DVD from RPM Motorsport) both Andrew and James talk you through a stage and explain the notes in full! Well worth it for £10 off ebay and plenty of other good bits

Its my uncle that sites with him James O'Brien.... As preespeed said he is partially deaf in one ear. James sat with my dad in the Cork 20 before and he was grand. No roaring or ''BACKOFF''.

Russell Brookes used a descriptive system which proved controversial on a Circuit of Ireland circa 1993. The organisers wanted to provide route notes (blind event that year) for the competitors and employed Brookes. Brookes' system was based on Bernard Darniche's, a method favoured by continentals. Many competitors complained that the notes were unsafe and one of the top seed's commented that they couldn't believe Brookes used this system and joked that Brookes must be the best driver in the world to be able to drive on them.

But, as I haven't really got it yet. What does the different numbers in their pacenote system really mean?

I'm sure that Mike Broad, when he co-drove for Brookes, used what seemed to me to be a 'normal' system whenever I've seen on-board footage of the pair of them on a pace note event, like the 1987 Ulster Rally. Sadly, I can't find any clips from that one anywhere on the net.

I rather enjoyed Mike Nicholson's 'augmentation' of his pace notes for Derek Bell on the first day of the 1987 Lombard RAC. It was Bell's first time on pace notes and Nicholson obviously felt that he needed a bit of extra help — for example, "it's very muddy, and there are trees as well — mind your braking."

Rememeber that, "Derek, Derek,.......ohhh....." Bell didn't seem to be listening to the notes.
