Not suggesting anyone mess with the snakes Ray ... rather that they take the right gear with them.

Hayden needs to use 'No snakes, no deadly spiders here' in his 'Bring Back Rally NZ' campaign.

Word out there after recce is that there is a lot more loose gravel on the stages. Road position will be very important.

Testing showed a lot of dust ... will be a real problem on the first pass.

Depends on the time there will be between cars. With such small amount of cars they can leave huge gaps. I remember in Sardinia in 2009 there were 4 minutes between WRC cars (3 minutes between others). It was quite boring for spectators... ;)

Very rough stages out there this year, they'll be going through some tires I say! Good luck to DMACK.
