So if you follow me or Evans rallying on social media you’d of seen what happened yesterday.
Started car 17 which with the results I’ve been getting was laughable but i went there to get top 3 overall. Some would say it’s impossible with the cars there but I felt I had the pace on the tight twisty roads as it’s suits the clio over the bigger subaraus. I’d never been to the event before but watched a few onboards on YouTube and felt fairly confident.
Stage 1 went ok. I felt a little to cautious but set the 6th quickest time overall with plenty in the tank to push on a lot more.
SS2 started super fast and was on it from the word go, but soon all went wrong. My co driver called a 4 Right over crest. I come in fully commented flat in 4th to find out the corner was a slow 2 Right whilst on top of the crest.
No way could I get the car round the corner and went straight one hitting the bank at around 60mph. It was some hit.
Back was fairly sore yesterday and my co driver had a bad shoulder but both feel ok today.
Car has some damage but not as bad as first thought. It’s pushed the passenger side of the car back around 5mm creasing the roof, radiator was bent in half, obviously bumper, bonnet and wing but it ripped the two bolts out the front of the box on the lower subframe mount.
It’s been on the jig today getting straightened. Then it’s just a few panels and a fix up. Subframe looks ok, the sumpguard has kept it square. But I’m going to take it off and try the spare just in case
