Went out to the Hatch of Brands in the baggy Barchetta, not too cold if one stayed in the strong sunshine
and didn't lurk in a shadow.
Some good rallying to be seen ,chatted with crew of both the Escort Cosworths, one driven with considerably
more competence than the other but seeing as one is driven by the event headline sponsor, he can drive in
reverse for all I care.
I couldn't face driving with the top down, there or back...
3 Ferraris started, one didn't start SS2, the Autobianchi didn't even start SS1 and the bloke who set
fastest time in SS1 in a Peugeot 306 Maxi broke something within a few hundred yards of SS2 start.
It retired making a horrid clunking noise.
That is all, for now.

I once went to a rally sponsored by Proctors coaches, Mr proctor was competing, he had a coach kitted out with a ramp and bay to load his escort cosworth into, all the gear crew of mechanics, the works.and didn't lurk in a shadow.

He sat there on the limiter on the startline of SS1, dropped the clutch and there was a clunk and nothing happened. Managed to blow the trans on the startline, didnt even move a foot on the event he was sponsoring.
