What a day… and I mean that 😅
Early start to get up there and secure a spot in service - always worth it. Visibility wasn’t great to begin with, but it soon lifted and stayed dry for most of the day… until it really didn’t. The heavens absolutely opened later on 🙈
Steve & Phil kept the car going in service, while we kept ourselves going with Catherine’s ham & mustard sanis (elite, no arguments 😂👌)
Out on the stages it was chaos. Offs everywhere, a fire, cars needing recovery… delays, stress, the lot 😓 One of those days where anything could happen at any point.
Phil & Ryland just got on with it. Head down, no fuss, doing what they do best. Even had to make a quick call on tyres towards the final stages with the conditions changing — not an easy decision.
But they brought it home 👏
21st overall & 3rd in class 🥳
Given the day that was in it, that’s a result to be proud of.
Most importantly, everyone home safe ❤️
