A Couple of links for stages from this years Circuit of Ireland rally - about half way through the shorter first one , we have our first bit of unplanned off roading ..... very minor (but it was exciting for a few moments)

Car has now been reprepped (took a few things apart and looked - found nothing , but have increased spring rates) and is now on the high seas bound for Barbados ... to compete in the Barbados Historic Rally Carnival (sounds grand but it's only 90 stage Km !!) - in late July. looking forwards to this one ............ :)
Royal Enfield .. still in India
GL 1800 Tour DCT, for pleasure / Fantic 240 Professional - play
Rally 911 (1966) build parked for a while
Rally 928 (work started again - inc serious weight loss programe !)
.... and now another VW Up GTI owner.

Now here (Barbados) , it's very hot and presently wet. Did rallysprint on Sat past - nice to be competing with likes of Jimmy McCrea and Francis Tuthill in 911's even if we are not on their pace ! Rally starts tomorrow at noon and runs to midnight. major problem for 928 is keeping it cool , have done all I can now , recce complete and notes made, keep fingers crossed for us.
Keeping cool in the car will be impossible , so will just keep drinking water. Stages are all very short , max of 3.6 miles , 3 stages done 5 times in a mixture of directions. A tv crew is with us , and on board prof camera fitted with both of us recorded too - sound. Hmm ???? Stay tuned on 18th August RPM motorsport :)
