 We keep talking about drama all weekend, lunchtime service on the final day of Cotesire Rally Australia and our leader had a few dramas through there, just enough to keep you nervous isn't it? Yeah, I had a few electrical problems actually before the first stage and then they continued alright in the first stage but then the power steering blew coming down the freeway so we were watching the voltage come down and down and down and then we stopped for the regroup and it obviously conked out because I was sitting there with the fans running and all sorts of things so we got in and our boys would fix it and we 30 minute service only with the dramas you got, the boys you confident can fix it within the time and everything and I made up these guys are the these guys are world class so I've got no hesitation you know as soon as we got it back big smiles on my face because I said the Woggershaw guys are unbelievable this stuff they do it all day every day and I'll get it fixed no problems. Still plenty of kilometers to go and we know what rallying's like so we need to put our head down and really drive smart for these afternoon stages and even though you're now in front he took a big chunk out of you through that shipment stage you're going right back to that now so you would want to be making sure you bridge that gap and do a better job this time around. Yeah absolutely we're gonna make a couple of setup changes for that as well so we're quite confident with the shorter ones couple really good in there I did make slight mistake and wedding bells over one of the big jumps was quite aggressive so I've changed that note there so that's always good the first pass is tricky especially in new sections of stages we hadn't done that last year the rest went pretty well and to see Bowden out was a real shame has he done a great rally as well. Michael Bonas is not one to see the car on the trailer having such a strong run genuinely everyone in the whole rally is disappointed but. Yeah look they're not the only one we are gut-wrenched I really don't know until we start to get it home and get it apart and get some good it's too confined but we lost oil and then oil pressure started to drop off and actually first up I started losing power something's not right look down oh oil pressure is not quite good can't see anything evident like no holes or but until I get it apart I don't know I reckon it's an oil cooler line but everything's everything's everything's coated in it you know I mean so it's there's no oil in the in the sump so it's obviously something major that's been forced out last two stages top three times very encouraging it is yeah we finally be able to string together a full stage so times are pretty good I've sort of always known from the start of the event that times would be there if we could string a whole stage together and now it's finally showing yeah and now they've got a few of the little teething problems the brand-new car that you're debuting so the fact that you can be in there with a very proven car like the Citroen and you mix them with them is really positive I'm sure I'm giving a bit of a lift to you and the team it is exactly I've still got more time in myself and obviously the more case we get on the car the more things will find out it's doing funny or not doing right so yeah it's only gonna get quicker I won't harp on it too much a good result beckons this is where you have to concentrate as much as ever Bernie Weber alongside this is where he will be critical to try and make sure you get it home only yeah very much so and I've just got dragged aside Bill Barry as well who had some some nice strong certain words for me as well but look it's a mental game this sport as well as a physical and as well as a mechanical so and that's the exciting part about it but we'll be right we've got four and a half sorry 45 kilometres to go and we'll just get back to what we do and we've I've come into that sport doing this from the get-go so we'll just finish it off by hook or by crook you're in third you can't take it too easy because your teammates sniffing around and if you give them a little bit of a shot he will take it won't he? That's right I think it's only about making you know clean and no mistakes I think with the time lost in the first stage was the two water crossings after the incident is how the Australia took on a bit nervous about those water crossing so I think they'll be better off this afternoon. Adrian's sort of in striking distance if you had a real big push and he backed it off but I suspect he's gonna try and manage the gap and you're probably just gonna manage to get home safely. I only go as fast as I can go I'm not gonna go any faster than that so but yeah I won't be going slow that's for sure. You'd love a podium if you could sneak one in after a weekend like this wouldn't you? It'd be good just to yeah yeah you're right.
