ROUND TWO TWYFORD WOOD. 27th May 2007

A very wet Twyford wood was the venue for round 2 of the Peugeot 205 challenge, having never been to the venue before but hearing loads of war stories about the place I just wanted to get going and going we did.

SS1 Nice and steady, picked up a puncture at the end of the stage dropping a bit of time.

SS2 Clipped a curb or hole which pushed us towards a small tree although no panel damaged somthing was not right and the car felt very unstable and noisy, ah punctured front and a broken/lost

15th April 2007
Well we got of to a bad start at Driffield !! At the start line we were warned of the dust into the chicane along the back straight, umm to much speed to much dust, missed my braking point, the back of the car stepped out and we nudged the hay bail side ways, no big problem it had happened to lots of other crews, but when reversing in the dust I managed to whack a sturdy sign post causing quite a bit of panel damage, Then straight into a long sweeping right hand bend the car spun 180 and stalled dropping loads of time.

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.

Mrs S-P here, down two bottles of wine and I have invaded the executive business office centre of our hotel opposite the skytower in Auckland. Wish you were all here as we have had a wonderful time so far, jet boating at Queenstown and a flight round Mount Cook (our hotel was overlooking the aforsaid mount!). Me S-P taking over blog as I am too drunk apparantly!

note Me should be Mr - she really is pissed!!!

sad fact our coach driver for the south island is the c of c for Rally NZ in the South, a guy who took us for a short trip round Dunedin drives the closing car.

C2R2 Test

Well the new car was finished (mostly) last week and this weekend Jamie Hickman and I tested it in Wales.
[G2:4282 size=300 class=left frame=shadow]
We hired a small area of forest near Lampter in mid Wales for the day and had our very own rally stage about 1.5 miles in length. At each end was enough room to pull the handbrake and go back the other way. Our 'stage' had a hairpin and a square corner as well as some high speed bends and a varying surface with some rough and smooth bits. The venue was exactly what we needed to shake down the car.
