 This is going to be a major talking point over these first two stages only done two passes over the opening stages rally Victoria we saw Scott Pettus ties there Let's have a little look at Brendan Reeves. He won the second stage This could be one of the reasons look at the chunky tire still on there It's looked after it in the first stage second stage is capitalized So at the moment, we've got Brendan Reeves who's leading the rally only by a couple of seconds young Steven McKenzie Done a fantastic job. He's right behind these guys who are battling it for the championship in our last year's champion Expecting so much from Eli Evers and Glenn Wesson. Apparently they've broken a dry shaft and are out for the day Lots to talk about only after two stages. We're here at the remote service chance for us to catch up and have a chat to him right now So Brenda a good start form continues, but big heavy tire wear for Scotty in that second one So obviously his car and himself not looking after the tires maybe as much as yourself Yeah, no, we had a bit of a trick up our sleeve actually front to read There wasn't any time but Rian and I worked like crazy and we did that We don't give ourselves a chance today to try and win the heat There's no point, you know with Eli out Scott just went and got 50 points today makes it very hard so if we can use eight tires today will go for it You know and keep the pressure on him for tomorrow. So that worked good for us We've got him by six in the second one McKenzie's doing good times. So that's good having a third car up there Anything can happen. It's anyone's rally. It's got to go two key questions for you One is the repair ones the tire situation, but how is the car after the damage from the power stage? Car feels fine. It feels really really good. Just a lot skater than what I thought was going to be in the first day It surprised me that like two spins in the first three corners, I think But then yeah, I'll see the tire wear is a major concern We've only done about 30 kilometers or 34 or something and we're repeating those two So if anything you could argue the toss we think that you could wear more What's going on your head on how to play this game balancing the championship points heat points all that sort of stuff Lots to think about. Yeah, look, we're gonna take A change of tires for after the next one Because we think that we can win the heat then that takes a hell of a pressure office for tomorrow Brenda's already shown his cards and he sees these front to back. So he sees four tires down now So we'll see how we go with that. It's a bit light in the and scary on the first stage over the fast Christy stuff, and I'm not quite sure why I think it might be a bit too stiff in the rear But because I didn't test I don't really know So we'll go to click softens if that makes a difference the car will either be better or worse one or two You know you just jumped out of the car. We heard a reporter drive sharp But that doesn't seem to be the focus at the moment No, I'll let you look at was that was what happened and the boys came out and fixed me on the side of the road And we've returned. I just reported that the clutch is sticky a little bit So even when you push it all the way in at the castle drives forward. So It's that's not a major. It's just some slight adjustments. We need to make a thing So I'm not concerned about it. So really just you know results gone for today You should have re entered getting some stages under your belt ready for a crack tomorrow Yeah, look the rear end didn't feel right like I didn't have enough grip through there So we're going to go in we're going to continue with the tires We've got on the front now for the next two stages, which are at sort of 50% So I don't know full. I don't know finish. We're having a having a bit of an issue with the turbo there That's not creating boost at certain points. I'm not sure why so I think Scott is there Gonna be downloading some data and sending off to Mo-Tek right now Hopefully they'll have a look at it and see what it's doing And then on second stage we stall the start line and just a error But I guess the great positive out of that is that you know, you're still Formulating this car developing it. You have any little issues, but the times are there So really encouraging for you and your brother going we can do this. We've got some speed and it's going well Yeah, absolutely. Once we're stirring everything together get the car running how it should We'll be on the money my great job getting this thing repeat and getting back out there You're repeating the same two stages. Good luck with that Make sure you bring it home in the in the places now. Thanks Dean. Cheers You
