Time: Rest Day
Distance: 0 miles
Rally Position: 2nd from 41 (2nd in class)
Cairo, Egypt
What a result.
Sure enough our cock-up on the first stage yesterday had cost us dear dropping into 5th place on the stage. However on the second stage we’d recovered the situation by winning the stage…. At close of play we’re still second in class and second overall but now we’ve closed the gap on the rally leader from 11 minutes to 5 minutes. There are some huge stages to come later this week (80kms) so it’s still all to play for. The downside is that the Morris 1800 and the Holden are less than a minute behind us.
The broken engine mounting:
As you can see the rubber block that is sandwiched between two sheets of metal to give some flexibility had completely split. Thanks again to Simon from Rally Preparation Service, a fix was found….
The block has been drilled and bolted and secured with some chain. Not fancy but keeps us in the race
Oh and yes, here’s some pyramids etc…
