 After the opening three stages we're now at the service in the first time that our teams get a chance to regroup with their service, it's been a tough opening three stages for our ARC teams, Adrian Coppin, yourself and your teammate Tony Salazar in the WRC field so you're here first, you're almost the first of our ARC cars, tough day, tough day so far. I just want to go back to bed and start again, we started off sort of have a plan to just sort of ease our way into it, third, fourth last corner of the first stage, big moment, luckily there was a road to overshoot, ran out the bank and thought we're going to go over like one of these gentle rolls, got out that okay and it had a bit of a crack in the neary stage, all gone really well but then had a big overshoot at the spectator point, ran out of the bank again so the poor old girls got a few a few battle scars on the front but it's, we're here we keep going and we just got to pull back and make sure we just get to the afternoon and sort of recap for tomorrow. I thought we pushed pretty hard on the first one but time didn't appear for us so the second one and the third one obviously a bit of a surprise because we'd backed off considerably after finding out that Brenda had had some problems so maybe that's a secret, just relax and the times will come but the concern at the moment is the tyres, the Kumo's got fantastic grip but it's probably wearing prematurely so tomorrow's going to be a bit of an issue for us if we get there. It's awesome standing out here, it's glorious day but it's very hot in the car and the tyres in the long stages do get very warm, that's what you're talking about, they actually start to wear quite heavily. I think it is a temperature thing, I don't think it's any fault of the tyre it's just a couple of stages, you're constantly on the brakes and accelerating and braking and it's just putting ridiculous temperatures through the tyres and the WRC guys having the same issues as well and obviously we've only got two wheels driving the car so anyway we'll just continue on and we're just going to use as many tyres as we can and hopefully by Sunday we can have something to run on. Your car seems to have a fuel pick up problem in SS2 and 3, you're dropping bolts of time with the car cutting out. Yeah exactly, I have no idea why, overall the bumps and the big jumps and things and then it'll roll for five or ten seconds and then nothing happens and then all of a sudden you come back to life and away we go again and twice I had actually in the last stage had to stop put it in neutral find a place to pull up and then got it back to life and off we go again. It's nice to have the two Volts wagon, nose to tail and have a really strong morning both of you. Yeah it was a good run through there, it was very powdery on that last stage but we're a little bit too oversteery but we'll make a few adjustments on this next loop but yeah both cars are going quite well apparently, ours is going really well here haven't had any issues with the temperature side of things with the dump pipe and the accelerator cable but yeah we'll get back into service now and check it all over and go back out for the afternoon three stages. Even though you're feeling your way in and you've almost got a sort of fallback in love with the car because you've had some car issues but Citroens are having a few issues and you're right in the mix with them so it's sort of a nice feeling to be in the fight isn't it? Yeah look it's one of those events that you can't really get too tight up in what everybody else is doing because it's such a long event. We're just going to focus on what we're doing, make sure we're doing the driving style that we've been working on and work with the notes but I've always enjoyed driving the car, we're just having some issues with it early on in the piece and redeveloping and learning it and it's been a bit of a learning curve unfortunately but yeah character building to say the least. It was only Scott and Brenda in front of you which you would expect to be happy with that but one's already gone, this is a big rally, your experience will play a big part this weekend I reckon. Yeah well that's what I'm hoping for Dino and I sat down and had a big long think about this coming into the event and then you've got to play it like that because you know the outcome could be massive for us especially to get the V-dub to the finish and you never know what could happen. Steve McKenzie you're having a play down here mate what's going on? Yeah we snapped the shaft snap so we've got a replacement there we'll put them in I'm not sure what's caused it though. So you've had some makeshift repairs to try and get it into the service here now haven't you? Yeah yeah it's just been rubbing on the tire on the transport back so just been trying to keep all the spring and the shaft off the tire so we could make it back here. Okay well you've got back here it's been a pretty tough morning though overheating and also this issue. Yes and we've also blown a turbo hose off so everything's happening. Second stage just coming down the hill something went banging sort of third gear and cut the engine so I'm not sure something's internally gone wrong and won't fire back up so I think it's safe just to park here on the side and we'll have to sadly watch everyone else go past.
