Early start Wednesday with a full day ahead of us. We have to do 60kmh in recce versus the WRC guys can do 80kmh.

Great info!

Finished recce except for the Super Special which we do tonight. Stage 1 is new and uses bits of Tuckers Knob from last year, quite rough for 4km then on. Stages 2 and 3 are the same as last year, stage 3 having severe humps/jumps near the major speccy point which there will be some carnage.

Nambucca 4km stage is great except the section after about 29 km where it links in through some real rough private land. Valla stage is very short compared to previous years, still good though and very smooth surface.

Car has been through scrutiny, all good. Shakedown in the morning, then rally show tomorrow night.

Time to go and tidy my notes now.

Good luck Ray. Hope it is fun. Could not make it, stuck in Brisbane with a shocking influenza

Drove shakedown and four other stages... Oh man it's gonna be a good rally.

Little bit of rain, nothing major. Might be some fog with the variation in temperature.
