Our last event of 2009 in the Alfa 147 Diesel rally car
Things didnt really go very well although we did have a lot of fun. The stages on Saturday were extremely slippy and we should have fitted some super soft tyres, after cutting the slicks some more we gained some more grip but it was still entertaining handling and we made up over 20 places in 2 stages. An unfortunate mistake on a split in the dark meant we took a maximum and dropped back down on the leaderboard.
Sunday, the track started to dry out and we managed to exploit the BTCC 147 chassis handling, driving flat out on parts but this all came to an end on stage 9 when the gearbox decided to destroy itself, we limped back to service but after a quick check found that it was terminal.
Well, we will now be concentrating on the S1600 for next year, a lot of work to do to get it ready, hopefully the first event will be D'Isis rally in A
pril 2010.
We will post up some photos from Rockingham when we have some available. In Car video attached has good footage but no sound, problems with mic all weekend
If anyone sees us out, come and say hello or give us a wave! And thanks for the support of everyone who came to Rockingham.
