 So after a dramatic armour all power stage yesterday, and of course the rally show in the centre of Coffs Harbour where all the locals and rally fans got to meet the world's best WRC drivers and of course our own East Coast Bullbars Australian Championship teams. Now today, leg one, we get down to business, we've got just under 100km to compete and we've made our way out into the forest to the end of the very first special stage just over 10km, very good chance for us to speak to the teams and see how their rally has started. We were going particularly fast, I don't think I've just got a bad bounce, usual story so... Was it a bit like what we saw in the power stage, like a bump like that that just nosed itself and then obviously it nearly speeded into the trees and tipped it over? Yep, and it was a corner right on it, right after it, and it was a really narrow little bit of road and we landed in the dip so it wasn't really good but I think the car is still handling alright? I think it was like a hug five left over crest and we were off the road, luckily there was an escaped road with a bit up, two wheels, stop, reverse back up like almost went over so... Was that just towards the end of this stage? Yeah, like five corners that way. I reckon that Mads Ausberg's done the same mate, so it must be a little corner for the Citroens possibly. Yeah, maybe, maybe, but we got out of it luckily so touch wood. I was looking forward to the stage but it was one of those things that I think we went a bit too hard over some of the humps and we landed on our nose there a couple of times but it's all good. Time looks good mate and obviously the car feels strong which is important for you guys isn't it? Yeah, yeah, now I'm really happy with the car, I'm just maybe going a bit too hard into the corners and just a little bit too late and breaking. No surprises, obviously a really nice road on the recce but you've got 20 big tractors in front of you, man they take some interesting lines and pull some interesting stuff out on the road but overall pretty good, we had a bit of a heavy landing over one of the big humps in there at the start but you know I think that'll be pretty good. Brando, very tricky opening stage as a comment from everyone but mate looks like you've done a very good time and it's quicker so far for our ARC guys. Oh that's good because yeah it didn't feel great, there's quite a bit of understeer, we're locking fronts, we've got new Wimmax brake pads and we haven't got the chance to do a long stage yet so I was dialing more rear in as we went trying to counteract from the understeer but a really good feeling in the car, probably changing gears a little bit too early trying to limitate the wheel spin but we'll crack on and see how we go. So you're basically adjusting the brake bias mid stage? Yeah absolutely, it's right here you can see on my right hand side so it's quite easy to change, it's in driver's reach so as we got more kilometres in I was just adjusting that along the way. It's hard to do that, opening stage, the nerves are going on, the pace notes, drivers like that, that's difficult to do. Yeah I just had a lot of fun, there's heaps of jumps there and it was great. Thanks mate.
