 For our Australian Championship teams, and after your dramas of yesterday, here's our winner of leg two, fantastic job, Brendan Rees, what an effort. Yeah, we got in that car this morning, Nambucca, 48Ks, we'd hardly driven all day yesterday so we had to turn it on and it worked well, the car was comfortable, we won all the forest stages, I think Scotch just got me on the Super Specials there but that was just a quagmire and we were getting through with a bit of an oil leak now and the boys are going to fix that, we've done a great job to get that car out there today with the problems we had yesterday and I was really happy with the round and my pace today. Last year, leg two, Rally Australia was your very first sort of heat win or leg win in the Australian Championship so you've done it again, hopefully it continues on upwards from me a minute. It'd be nice to get another one tomorrow but it feels good to know the long stages really do suit me, I won them both last year, I won them both this year so that shows how good the car is with that endurance sort of level and on the hard tyres, the Kumos work really well on the car I think the MSA suspension gets the grip really well through them and the second pass there was just nothing left of the tyres and we're really happy with that, it was really even wear and it just shows we're getting everything out of it. Brendo's going well, he drove very well today so you know he's still a chance we need to push on and try and find that extra stage win just with extra point and maybe put some pressure on him tomorrow and just you know continue to drive the same pace we have and that's obviously the overall in mind but you want to try and clinch some heat points as well. Something about WRC's to just make it so hard, I don't know if it's them in front and I've been in your position as well but the days are long, it's tough you'll be getting up early tomorrow so it is really a big test and a big endurance event isn't it? Yeah I mean it is an endurance event and it really is that word you know it's it's long days, it's a long week, the roads are very tough and the roads change very well because the WRC cars just make new roads you know it's fantastic but it's a fantastic experience you know every every Australian driver should aim to compete in WRC you know to to be competing even near the likes of the OJs and those sort of people is a fantastic experience. I thought at first we had a flat, I said to him we might have a flat which is never a good thing in a 50k stage but it started to feel good, came good again and then it got worse and you know something I think with the well at the front left amperage blown out there's oil on the strut top and whatnot so it was just a pig to turn right under brakes I wanted to pull left like it was just all over the shop so we managed it, we got through, we didn't lose too much time but we didn't make any time and we got through this super special with it and the boys are throwing one in now. The car really has gone fortlessly all day, Michael's driven really well and I think his confidence is up because the car's going well which you know it just makes it all smooth. When the event's starting to get closer and closer you're in second position the nerves build up you're listening to everything you've got one leg to go, your teams work so hard everyone's hanging off this result aren't they? Absolutely look we haven't had a great 12 months so to if we can get on the podium tomorrow afternoon we'll be ecstatic it'll be really really good so fingers crossed. Another good solid day the results beckoning there, a podium how would that be for you and Bernie and the Repco team? A what a podium okay look mates um look that'll be fantastic but we've got a long way to go at this point in time so we'll just concentrate on getting the car ready again tonight and duck out there tomorrow got caught this morning uh yeah sort of not doing what we normally do and sort of waiting to see what happens and all that sort of stuff so tomorrow we're going to go back out and get back onto our plan which is you know what we did in the afternoon loop and they'll all work for us again as per usual so it's good. Absolutely right you've got to keep the concentration up but come on somewhere inside there you'll be a little bit excited come on. Getting there mate getting there there's a few hours of sleep first and then there's about six or seven hours of driving but um we're getting there. If we saw you at the end of the long when you had the off on the bridge you lost some time there of course in the super stage I spoke to you at the end of that you lost the wheel no idea why running around on three wheels. Yep exactly I think they're probably related because it was that that wheel that was hooked up on the bridge somehow along the lines probably bent something really lucky in that respect that didn't happen on the stage before or the first stage tomorrow when we're you know warp seven trying to make up time so you know at least we're close to service you're going to be optimistic. The other thing is the boys are frantic because unlike our normal super series rules you'd have two hour service this is WRC you got 45 minutes only so the boys run to the pump. Oh no exactly and there's a lot to do because there's a lot of you know end of day stuff oil changes and things that normally have to be done anyway and then you've got all this extra stuff to throw at it and you know I've managed to knock a few bumper bars here and there which take time they don't look pretty but they take time to do so we'll get on to it.
