I'm from Jersey and this weekend it has been the Jersey rally. This popped up on my news feed from a friend. Hope he and the car is ok!

 

Yes he's fine, he had to retire from the Rally though.

 

Think it's been a bad year for retirements. Several cars went off on the same corner

 

Is that ian from godspeeds car? If so im glad i never won the passenger ride

 

Not a good advert for their brakes. lol

 

Was just about to say, I blame the brakes

Hope the car is ok though

 

+1 should use monoblock calipers with proper rotors
hope he is ok , i like colin mcree style

 

At least the wheel didn't fall off this time
Hey , that's rallying lol

 

Brakes worked fine as the 50 yd skidmarks prove lol , 6th gear crest into a 2nd gear 90 right , way too fast into it !

Quite a lot of damage , inner bays bent up as well , so needs a new front end and a jig , snapped a bottom arm so put us out of the rally , was up for this weekend as well , but that's rallying.

For the uneducated , this is a proper ex-works Prodrive built car , as used by Juha Kankunnen on the 1999 Monte Carlo , so comes with 365mm Alcon discs and AP 6 pot calipers as per the homologation , at the end of the day though not even a parachute would have helped lol

 

Just ran out of talent then ?

 

Yes 😃

 

Got the bits to fix it , engine and box has to come out for a rebuild now so will send the shell into the body shop to be jigged and resprayed , should have it done for a shakedown in pembrey between Christmas and new year , need to fix my other 2 rally cars in between after rolling my Clio and my son blowing my golf engine up on rally day !

 

It's ok, you got off lightly compared to some!



What did you think of the rally?

 

Ouch! Glad your ok, did your co-driver wet his pants again.

Video of the crash would be good.

 

The rally is good , done it 4 times before , been coming over to do it or spectate for about 10 years now , always good to do closed road events.

Had my camera in the car so hopefully it recorded ,

 

Out of interest Ian, would this car not of had a sequential box then ??
I noticed your car has a manual box from the interior vids you put up last week.

 

No the sequential gearbox was fitted a year later to the P2000

 

Lmao please put that up

 

Tough hill climb start.

 

My cars a mess , nav's neck and back is hurt , my back is hurt , but if you want to LMAO at it , knock yourself out !

 

Glad, you've walked away from it. Gary Lineker would have trouble going down some of those narrow roads on a skateboard!

 

That was a big hit!! HANS device would definitely have helped.

 

 

Didn't LMAO sadly, looked like a painful stop!

Glad you both got out safe

It was your co driver reaction that got me on the last video

 

You weren't listening, caution 2 right tightens long. Even I got that! Listen to your co-driver, that's what he's for.

 

I wear a hand device , have done for 8 years , I won't rally without one , this nav doesn't , but will now ! This was only his second rally with me , not sure if I've scared him off , I wouldn't sit with me lol.

The note was actually 6 right long over crest , into double caution 2 right , the long should have been swapped for slowing , easy to say now viewing it over and over from an armchair , but on the recce seemed right , but that's one of the attractions of rallying , it's not just about being able to drive , it's a team event , driving off notes , not racing driving round and round the same track.

It doesn't get any better than closed road rallying , unless your in a hedge !

 

I laughed at the swearing.

No wonder you're sore, quite a big off.

 

Double caution actually. **** knows how he ignored that

 

I got that bit right, bet he would be better if he had to pay for fixing the car.
I'd sack him if I were you.
Or maybe your having problems finding people who want to be your co-driver, given your recent history, I wonder why.

 

you need some better brake pads, try bob at aztec
