Default Funniest moment at Rally day yesterday.

Quote from programme


Gigi Galli from the Mitsi Rally team is coming over from Italy to give the UK live action in the Mitsi Lancer WRC05. Gigi has demonstrated the terrific potential of the car with some promising results in the 2005 world rally championship and we are certainly looking forward to seeing his flamboyant style in action on the feature rally stage.


Shame he only managed 1 lap and then forgot there was a corner at quarry on his second.







He still managed to drive the car away though. Have to admit it made me chuckle.

LOL It was awfully slippery out there, though, my track session got red flagged after several people had spun off. Anyone know who was in the P1 that overtook me (in the black STI) and then promptly span at the very next corner?

Galli had just lost it coming up to Avonrise, after the 2nd chicane they had added, before that incident at Quarry.

Guess he was a bit red in the face after all that lot

It wasn't too bad, he managed to drive away. I'm sure its a few grand worth though.

Probably hit at about 25-30mph.

Saw the car as it came back in to the pits area. Marshals were spraying an extinguisher behind the NSF wheel.

Don't know who was in the nav seat; he was obviously in a bad state of shock as he was whisked off to the Med Centre by concerned looking folk

Galli was being looked after by a couple of the Japanese guys there with the team. The car was pushed into the scrutineers bay, along with a load of the Mitsi team, before the bay doors were closed.

Talking

Maybe he thought, "If I smack it up the **** I can maybe get that spoiler into the right position". Mad Italian who normally chucks it into the scenery.

I bet his team manager was chuffed!
