It's been a while since I last posted here. Good to see the successor Mull Rally seems to be doing OK - will be keeping an eye on it again in 6 weeks time. Good luck to the organisers and competitors.
Meanwhile, here's and excellent in-car video of Calum Duffy in the Escort along Gribun in 2010.
Some points to note:
- a big "moment" about 2 minutes in
- from 5:45 it gets really quick
- my favourite pacenote "flat to the phone box"
- from 6 minutes as we go flat to the phone box the car hits the rev limiter in 5th. Gulp!
- although the earlier part of the stage doesn't look that quick, the car must be in the air about 20 times in 5 minutes, the road is incredibly narrow and bumpy, and just check out those corners over blind brows where a slight off will put you into a cliff or down into the sea. Brave stuff, and clearly the car takes an enormous amount of punishment on this stage alone.
Love it!
Enjoy.
