There were two tests
today, the last for the event.
The first was on a
small circuit and again it was a motorkhana.
Instructions were given out in the
The 2nd was
a conventional, mostly gravel uphill stage, and again we went steady but came
in under the minimum time so no penalties.
Today was the end of
competition for the rally. The next two
days are touring to get through France to Paris.
The big interest today
was who would get second place. Ludovic
Bois and Julia Colman in the Volvo were just six seconds ahead of the Adam
& Murray Jackson’s Mercedes. On the
motorkhana, the Jacksons were two seconds quicker so the gap came down to four
seconds. It then came down to the last
test where I believe both cars came under the bogie time. This will mean the Volvo is 2nd and the
Jacksons 3rd.
Travelling in the back
blocks of Switzerland is painfully slow. Every little town has a speed limit of
50km sometimes dropping to 30 in the centre of towns. Everyone drives at snail’s pace and getting
out of the way is just not the done thing.
Most stress for me this event has been worrying that we would lose time
on the liaison sections. That hasn’t happened yet.
