The 18 mile first stage at Glentrool is going to sort the men from the boys!!

Hope this good weather holds out for spectating but it could make it really dusty!!

It says that he's only got a lend of the car for the event.
Yeah If someone isnt awake on the 1st stage they could lose a lot of time Hopefully David Bogie wins. Dust could well be a problem and heat inside tha cars

Yeah all the best to Andrew

runnig as closing car for historics which are running at the front of the field
as the car isn't eligible for historics class but means we get to run throu before the roads are cut up,, we will be 8th car throu..
not sure if can overtake if we catch a car on the 18 miler!

Two Lancia Stratos flew past me in the town centre about 2/3 weeks ago, nearly fainted! Would this be one of them?

Looks awesome

that was the first run in the car, was braking at the start on the straight to set up the brake bias

should of had the camera on low quality as it filled the memory card in first stage!
some of the later footage would of been good!
