 The Florengoura of Gil there are first of the age of Pacific cars, of course international rally queens as well as APRC as well as the East Coast Bullbars Championship. Day one, first of our endurance series so it's about making sure the points count for Saturday and Sunday. After a dramatic win, Slippery very close, STP and Armoral Powerstays, the Evans Brothers separated by 0.2 of a second. Very spectacular in slippery conditions, it's dried out through here. A couple of five kilometre or there about stages here, we'll chat to them at the end of SS2 where we're standing now before they do another 30 Ks in our first service. It is very much about endurance this weekend. We're in a really great stage one, I think we were third fast in the APRC so that's really pleasing. A bit of a moment right at the finish line where we nearly rolled it so I cut over Crest and bit of a wake up call, got away with it so just pulled it back a little bit for this one and you can see on the times we're a little bit slower. Obviously the S2000s are really fast but we'll see. Full or dry power stage winner mate, how's the opening couple of stages going though? Terrible mate, the thing we just can't control the back of the car so it's quite scary to drive so I'm not sure what has happened between the power stage and here but we've got to do something because we just can't keep it on the road. The first one doesn't suit the way I got the car set up and I'd forgotten all about that stage until we got out there. It was a bit tentative through it and this one I sort of knew roughly the flow of this thing. It's still a bit tentative, there's more in it I'm sure. You do like playing with set ups on these cars don't you, you've always been like that and if you can get it right it really does help you get on the money and be confident with your car doesn't it? Yep, it's not right yet but I think it might come as the road comes to me in the afternoon. Long way to go yet, just trying to settle in but the time's clearly not there but we've just got to sort of get into a routine, it's a long way to go yet. I've probably been a bit too easy on the car trying to make sure we get through so I don't know. The car feels absolutely amazing, got over a bit of nervous energy on the jump start on the power stage yesterday, had a cracker of a sleet this morning and woke up and said let's go rallying in the sunshine. Yeah, good conditions considering the lead up and the sloppiness of the other stages I mean there's still some longer ones to go in the shade but these ones have been pretty good off the cuff. Yeah really good actually, yeah I mean the always better to wrecky in the wet and then have a dry rally than the other way around but yeah look Queensland's generically like that, rain's sort of during the week and drys up after it but yeah we're just going to do our thing and get to the end. This is an endurance rally, got to change that mindset, too many blokes already got smashed bumpers and radiated coolant leaks already so long way to go. Mate I reckon the time loss on stage one you've got back on this one I reckon so it's already happening. Yeah it's good, I'm really happy. Now the car's mint and that stage run was pretty tricky and we've gone out on 900s so the idea is to have good tyres for this long stage and that's why we're very ready. Is that causing you any problems, any year selection problems or just at the end here? No not in the stage but I think you know there's just a few really rough compressions and it just is not very happy it's not wanting to select years so in the stage it was fine hopefully we've got a gear now so we'll keep going while we've got a gear. Major amount of damage under there mate was that one or two? Stage one probably around 400m in, just dip, kick the car on its nose and yeah it's made a mess of the front so we went limp through that one, I'll see what the guys reckon when we get back to refuel whether we try and limp it through the 30k or just take a penalty.
