We ran the C2 on the Pirelli International this weekend. Our first competitive outing in the car and since our test we had made some changes to the car.

The first four stages were run on friday night and we struggled to find any real speed in the car but were lucky when many of our C2 rivals had problems and we emerged 5th in class and leading the C2 cup.

On Saturday in daylight we really found the speed with the car and started moving up the time sheets, with a little help from the retirements of some of our class rivals (this included Hannu Mikkolas son who is very fast)! We started the final stage of our first BRC round leading the class by three seconds and ninth overall.

Four miles from the end of the stage our engine blew up and we coasted to a halt with any thoughts of victory rapidly disappearing :(

We were alowed to Super rally the car and classified as a finisher third in class so we got some points and it wasn't a total loss.
