Thank you !

"Bogey Time" is the fastest time you are allowed to do the stage in. For safety's sake the average speed of a stage should be no more than 70mph (I think).

Stages with huge long straights are a bit pointless anyway. This a way to try and keep speeds in check.

Organisers usually throw in a few chicanes at the fastest parts or include more junctions to try and keep average speeds down.

If someone does an average speed faster than 70mph, they get the time for an average of 70mph.

I saw a video of this and he talking all the time and is relaxed during the stage like hes driving on the country road.

That's from the Manx Rally, think the stage is Castletown. I believe he describes the stage when he was driving the Astra Kit Car in the 2000 British Rally Championship
