Monday 24th August 2009 - Rally Endless Tarmac (Day 1)

HAhaahaa,

And the guy in the background seems to be on every stage. He's like the diehard fan off me. And always when i pass he sais something to somebody else... Something totally not understandable.

RALLY ENDLESS TARMAC
DAY 1 RESULTS (PROVISIONAL)

omg! expect the universe to gently tear itself apart at any moment...
end of the day 1 battle sees myself heading the timesheets!.... uuuuuuh!

fiesty wee birney pulling up in 2nd, but only just behind - even though he dropped ss5 - but with 5 stage wins to his name...

warren rounding out the top 3 (with peter and greg breathing down his neck)....

it's all massively too close to call - its anyones victory tomorrow....

results are provisional in case anyone has any disputed times to post... (maybe greg didn't drop ss7??)

I'am sorry guys but there is a problem in the SS7, effectively i didn't drop it, this is my screenshot (i made 3'19"70 in SS7):

Andrew Evans · Aug 25, 2009

cool man... i reckoned that was probably the case - i'll correct the results when i get home in an hour or two.... :wink:

Andrew Evans · Aug 25, 2009

ok, day 1 times corrected:

Lol this is one heck off a rally. Now Greg, grats again, hahaha

My first movie now for this rally. SSE 4.

The only stage for me where it all went perfect...

great movie Bert!

Chris Rogerson · Aug 25, 2009

here is my proof....please update Andrew

Thanks

Bert Van Waes · Aug 26, 2009

Well, maybe SSE 4 was not the only one perfect, SSE 11, or Cote d'Arbroz went also quite good.

It was a battle between me and Mark for this one. Very close finishtimes...

Now without any music, just pure engine and fans...

Nice vid, i think the guy in yellow jacket seen the death from a very near point just before the arrival

Bert Van Waes · Aug 26, 2009

Haha, if you knew what i was thinking...I threw it in a split second too late and i was like:
"Omg, not now, please stay on the road... Ahhh!!.... Oef..

"

I got almost a same encounter on day 2 when i did this stage reverse... Somewhere in the middle a photographer runs off wayyyy too late. Just missed him.
They're lunatics!

Mark Birney · Aug 26, 2009

Awesome Bert, love Arbroz

Taking some of the hairpins the way they should be.

Ergo, I was doing it wrong

Bert Van Waes · Aug 26, 2009

tx Mark, it's the only stage i know by heart now. Because it's almost the only one i played back then when i first got it some years ago... Before dust came on.
We were close on day 2 too.

Love the hairpin layout on this one. Not too fast and great rythm.
