With zero blind forest driving experience, I’ll be relying on what little perception of the roads I’ve got.Although it’s the only blind rally in the championship this year, it’s probably the rally I’ve got the best knowledge of. In 2017, Dad and I went down for the day and spectated, in 2018 again we went down and ran a stop control, and in 2019 we ran as the 00B car, with Dad driving and me navigating. Alongside that, we also attended a test day at the beginning of the year, which was run on multiple sections of roads utilized in the rally.

Until next time, Taylor
