 It's been a dramatic round five with the East Coast Bullbars Australian Rally Championship being a co-tire rally Australia and before we speak to our podium place get us Tony Salons and the Citroen right to the very end it keeps biting this event. It does I do I can't, last stage, having a bit of a go probably shouldn't have been going quite so hard, tightening corner just caught me out a little bit and soft roll into the bush and we're here but highly held. This must be one of the toughest weekends of rallying you've done I reckon. It would be by far. I can't remember the last time I've been kicked and got back up that many times. So Brenda with your dramas you just made it on the podium but we wanted a chance you made another leg win you were an operation fight back and you've done your job it's important for the championship isn't it. Yeah last two days have been very important for us so we got maximum points both days just really disappointed about Friday not much we could do there but anyway Scott he's been lucky I think to get through today myself seeing how many dramas they've had and got through just unbelievable but anyway we'll fight on for Rally Victoria. Third place Team Citroen Australia Adrian, Cop and Tim Batten you would not have thought that was going to happen on Friday would you? What a weekend like Friday seventh place 16 minutes behind like there's no way I would have thought we'd be able to stand on the podium this afternoon and spray some champagne so big testimony to how strong the car is and you know and the boys that kept us going all weekend we threw everything at them and they just kept us out there so you know big thanks to them. Absolutely, Tim Batten you've been around this sport long enough to know you just have to keep keeping on. Yeah look I've been around the sport as you know for a while and this young buck here hasn't been around that long and I've sort of tried to come him down on Friday so mate it's not over till it's over we've just got to get back into rhythm get things happening for the next couple of days put some times down you know basically Brenda was that benchmark for this rally so basically see how close we can get to him you know and never give up and you know it's possible and said we didn't. No you didn't give up at all and of course that helps your championship I mean it's going to be difficult for you to win from here but you're still in with a chance of a second even. Yeah I'm not too sure how it works out with the championship to be honest like the main thing was like I said you all weekend just wanted to finish so you know today was much better we actually got a good consistent run in you know Tim was great on the notes and we got through everything and it was just about some bumming seat time before Victoria. The second place Mick Patton and Bernie Webb awesome job great weekend. Yes yeah at last yeah been a long eight weeks since packing the truck early on a Thursday before Rally South Australia but the team has just done a fantastic job and and this weekend's been a very very difficult one but yeah now we've we've made it and the cars went great which is the main thing and that's what we've been trying to achieve the podium is fantastic but just getting the car here in one piece and not having any issues dramatic issues is unreal very very pleased. Bernie you've won plenty of things but this is a special moment for you guys. It is absolutely look Mick and I have been working really hard on this for a long time working on driving working on the car making it reliable putting a good team together and look our boys have dug really deep the last couple of weeks it was so destroying for them for us to decide to pull a pin but look it's absolutely worth it you know what we need to do was to get the car right before we raced it and you know the results have shown. The results been there for a couple of days and I've been keeping howling you know what I'm trying to get to do there yeah and you've done it now you can express it I mean from all those tough times this is what it's all about this feeling you got right now. Yeah look I think it's it just hasn't hit me yet it just hasn't sunk in like the fact that we've made it primarily is it's just been something that I have been sitting you know in bed laying at night going staring at the roof going I've just got to get this car sorted and make it but yeah look once I once I realized that what's happened is yeah I'm sure it'll sink in and it'll be good as go. Round five winners Scott, Peter, Dan, Mosker, the smallest that at all when you drove him mate congratulations. I should be happy but it's more stress relief unbelievable day just one of the probably the hardest stressful days I've ever had in rallying just car dramas and good times and bad times and you know just and weird dramas at the worst particular places so but it's so fantastic and the Walkman Shore guys done a great job and I've got the best team in the world. Dale from Friday you've been managing it that's part of the emotion that Scott's talking about it's hard to do that isn't it? Oh absolutely it's the hardest way to drive a rally is when you when you've got a lead and you and you need to manage it so you know I think on the on the actual stage performance wise in our pace I think we managed it well a few little issues along the way but this is an endurance round so I guess you have to put up with that. I came into today as you say in a bit of a conservative mode punched out a 19 second lead on the first stage and thought okay we've got this now and then boom boom boom we kept getting hit but we got back up and we're here. I reckon the reason you say stress relief is you know how much this gap and points means one round to go this is emotional for you you've been involved in for a long time haven't you? Yeah I want to I really want to win in Australian relationship of growing up as a kid loving the sport and following the ARC and obviously put a lot of time and effort into it behind the scenes and you know it's just one of those amazing sports that just it brings you in and great people and to be involved and you know I want to say full credit to Dale you know he was on the money in the on the notes but on the money from a rule sort of things and we had all those sort of things in front of us today so it's fantastic to be here
