 Once a year, Coffs Harbour really comes alive, we're in the centre of the town, the rally show, and it is fantastic, the atmosphere is great, the locals are here supporting it. Not only is it round five our Eastcoach Bullbars Australian Rally Championship, but it is round ten of the World Rally Championship. Our teams will compete over 300 kilometres of the toughest roads in the country, and the cool thing about our sport is our ARC crews compete on the exact same roads as the world's best. Great crowd, great weather, and the world's best rally drivers in the one place at one time, it's fantastic. It's going to be an awesome weekend of course, our rally has already kicked off, we've done the Armour All Power Stage, didn't go your way I've got to say, it wasn't the best start for you. Well the Power Stage was good because we weren't there, the qualifying was all my fault, it was a rare pastime for me, I didn't note a particular hump the way I should have, I live and learn but the car is fine and we fortunately got away with the spin into the trees and hopefully we'll be alright tomorrow. Brendan Rage, plenty of autographs going on mate and what a start for you, it doesn't get any better really does it? Yeah great start to you know winning the Power Stage and Scott having problems with his spin, so it brings it level pegging and this is a rally where last year we really shone and we started to do those good times, we had the reliability of the Mazda, so this year we're looking to really step it up and have that great fight that we always want with Scott. Mick Pan I know you've had some trouble but you bought a spare car this weekend right? Yeah just in case we get stuck this weekend we thought we'd bring another one but no we've got to give away from our sponsors from Repco and Penderite so we'll give it away over the weekend and to someone so they should be lots of fun. Fantastic atmosphere here, you've even got the Repco rally thing, Lollies you're giving out, you know they say about people giving Lollies out at these sorts of things? Yeah this is all Bernie's idea, so the boiled Lollies are always a good thing but they keep the energy level up for me in the car as well so I think we bought a thousand and the boys at the service park have been needing most of them so but no it's all good for the fans as you can see it's such a big environment here in Kos which is great every year so we just like to do a couple of little bits and pieces that are a little bit different but yeah I can't wait looking full to it. It's one of those rallies we just want to finish because it's so close to home. This is an event where consistency could pay off, you play your car dry you could be right at the right end at the right time. Yeah yeah it's so true Dino like you know that's my whole thought for the whole weekend it's just suck it and see tomorrow slightly push a bit harder and just see what happens. Tell us what is special about this car it's a brand new build it's taking a little while to get there it's a pretty mean machine isn't it? It is yeah there's very few standard parts on the car apart from the engine where that's pretty much as it rolls off the factory floor so everything took a while to get to fit right and get all the numbers accurate so I think there's no reason why it shouldn't be just quick out of the blocks. How does it feel to drive because it's probably the most serious rally slash race car you've ever been in that's going to have to adapt to your driving so how did it feel to get the smile on your face I'm sure? Definitely yeah it jumps really well it's enough power at the moment I'm sure we'll search for more soon but look it's well balanced it gets great it does everything right.
