RAF Cottesmore 21.8.11 6TH Event Of 2011
Posted by Charlie stephens on Tuesday, September 6, 2011
this is a new venue for everyone as its the first time it has ever been used for rallying, when we arrived we were chauffeured in by army services then set up our service area next to a few s1000 micra's. A hour before ss1 we got to do a recce of the area to take vital notes down ready for the first stage.
After ss1 the set a very good pace and wanted to continue this pace all day but by watching the adults i found out how aggressive i can be when attacking the chicanes and places i can take flat out. After trying this we noticed we were able to take 3-5 seconds of our stage times.
By halfway we were 12th which was not one of by best results i am to be honest but it all comes down to thr stage times after halfway my main goal was to either push for 11th or keep 12th but going into the last stage and 15sec to gain on 11th i decided to go all out and give it everything trying to take everything flat out and as fast as possible and at the end of the day u took 10sec out of 11th which was not bad at all.
