As a first event for me as a driver in 10 years, having a brand new car that I've not even tested it went bloody brilliant.
Few time limiting issues, low speed power steering being non existent can make chicanes a crawl, missfires due to having too much fuel when the egt temp got high (ran anti lag all 2 days), suspension had to be raised after the first leg and a turbo compressor that is too big, and running it as a 2wd car only, but, bloody loved it, glad to be back out.
few mods from here on in, but out of 115 starters, we seeded at car 78 (due to lack of events) we finished 40th o/a and 4th in class.
Very happy with it.

Great to see you enjoyed been back out competing I can't imagine how rusty you would be after 10 years, im rusty after a winter off!
Good to see the car never let you down and did what you wanted it to do

Never had to do anything all 2days to the car other than a melted washer jet pipe above the turbo.

Great stuff! Always nice to see a cossie out rallying.
Sweet as matey 
Across the pond here, the circuit of Kerry rally is on soon and it's dedicated to the Sierra Cosworth rally car which started 30 years ago. Should be great craic and they're trying to get as many Cossies as possible together for it. I'll be bringing ol' crystal bluesy and the antilag will be on all day 
.....albeit not the PROPER antilag like yours but hey, still mighty craic

It's a committed crowd for the motorsport alright thankfully. If you're coming over for a few stages, definitely give me a shout as would love to see the full blown antilag in action
Jaysus that sound sends shivers down my spine yeeeeehaaaaw!!!!!
