Have a look of some slow-mo and fast-mo WRC action in Sardinia '15:

Maybe Lappi would have been close to the first place without his troubles but Kopecky looked like he was under orders to not break the car. All of which meant nothing to the local fans who were whooping and hollering everytime Ucci passed by. He was clearly inspired and spectacular. As a footnote all the 'Als' appear to be better rally drivers and visibly quicker than they were in 2011 /12. Nasser has a great pace awareness and was unlucky not to be higher placed but it was that type of rally - everyone had a problem at some time.
Photos as I have time to edit
First couple of shots from shakedown.
A very enjoyable event, naturally very delighted for our two Kiwi's. Hayden still has the old car but with the upgrade of now being fitted with the paddle shift transmission, When he broke the mounting off the gearbox everything was tied up with zip ties etc to get him to the end of the leg where a more substantial patch up repair was undertaken. If he has an advantage on new stages it is that he grew up with blind rallies, that is no recce and no pace or stage notes. In the NZ championship they do have event supplied stage notes or you can write your own whilst in a convoy tour one pass recce. You have to be accurate and get them right first time.
