 The classics have been battling hard here at Coats High Rally Australia and our winners once again in the classic section Neil Bates and Carl Talantoyla, fantastic on some great roads out there. Yeah look out there was a huge mixture of roads, it was a very very tough rally, day one was incredibly tough, lots of jumps, a real car breaker and then we go to day two, some of the best roads I've ever competed on and then a mixture of both today so it's been a huge mixture of roads but a great event to you know, the super special was really good, everything was great you know, really good to see some young guys, Phil Casper you know, fantastic job, Clay Badenock, some fantastic times, Brett Stevens so you know, there's some guys getting closer and closer and hopefully they'll be pushing me along hard very shortly. Exactly, and Carl there is something special about being involved in a WRC event isn't there? Well it is you know, it's the pinnacle of our sport and we're here and they're here and I think it's pretty special that the best drivers in the world are in Australia at the moment and they're in Coffs Harbour. And you guys are part of that, you've been in WRC's on the top level and you got fan base out there on this machine and this is almost going back you know, years ago and you're still flying the flag out, that's great. Yeah look we've done, obviously done the full circle but you know, we're actually driving to Shipmans this morning and Sebastian Oje and Latvala and that are coming along the highway the other day, the other way and Carl said how surreal is it having these guys going the other way and you know, we're heading out to the stage so as Carl said it's fantastic to be a part of a WRC round, it is a pinnacle of our sport, they're amazing cars, amazing drivers and you know, it's something we're still all very excited about and watch all the time. Second place, fantastic job Matt, come through, reliable and got there in the end. Yeah it was, it was a good rally for us, quite long and tough but yeah we came through quite well. It's a bit like that Dave, you've got lots of experience, you've come off a couple of endurance rounds and here you are at the WRC and a podium in the classic, good stuff. Yeah amazing really, I wouldn't have expected this when we started out but yeah, now it's great, we're very pleased. You talked about it being difficult, there's something about the WRC and maybe the roads and the way they get cut up, there's some magic roads, some tough roads and that's what rallying is all about isn't it? Yeah it sure is, it's a challenge following those WRC cars because they do make the roads a bit tough to drive on in places but it's a great rally and we did some good roads yesterday and really enjoyed it. Like it or not, congratulations third but you were sweating all out, the cars just made it. We're still sweating, the diff just stopped there at the end of the last stage, just don't know how we met it back, just luck of the hours. It's been a big weekend that hasn't it driving on some of the roads that the WRC cars are running on? It has been a great weekend, great to be following those guys bus, we're running a couple of hours back and we're just delighted to be here. Did you think you'd maybe get a podium in the classics when you started the weekend? Not whenever we've seen the entry list like Neil Bates and Naughty Quattro and stuff like that, all we wanted to do was finish but we're happy we're here now. You're pretty cool, I know you're still sweating until you finally get it across the line but it'll be a sweet smell of champagne if you can get it there and get a podium. It will be the first time for everything. And the winners of the classic rally challenge, Neil Bates and Carl Taylor.
