“The car was feeling good and Bill (Hayes) and I had developed a good rhythm.”However, in the third stage, mechanical dramas hit the Ford Fiesta. “Midway through the third stage we broke a driveshaft, so we had to limp back to service, which meant losing lots of time. “The team did an amazing job to get it fixed, so we were able to continue.”

“However, that’s rallying – we are still able to take the positives out of the day and use them to build experience.“We will get the car fixed and ready in time for the Forest Rally in September, however, we hope to be able to fit in some testing before that. “I’d like to thank DirtFish, Truck Wholesale WA, Specialist Helicopters, Driver Risk Management and KTec Autohaus for their ongoing support.”
