Beautiful countryside. Great road. Love all the 90 degree sharp turns. My car wouldn't have lasted a furlong before snapping off the alternator mount.

Well done. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, man.
I love the spectators that gather at the outside portion of sharp turns...I know it offers a great view but...

I'm not sure who has the most *****...the driver and co-pilot or the bye standers. I would be too nervious worried I would slide into someone.

WOW...that looks like FUN......its like a crazy bump AutoX with people everywhere and cool scenery vs a maze of cones......I would do it If I lived there....

You must have the suspension raised up quite a bit to handle all the bumps......

Enjoyed it very much....Cheers, Kevin in Virginia

Great ... I liked the 'agricultural motoring' quick save

Scary number of spectators in vulnerable areas. Is there any crowd control or a sweep car before stage starts?

So cool to watch. Need to get some film showing the car going through some of those hairpins, would be great to see the attitude of the car in those tight corners.

This is a "faster stage" from the same event ...
thanks for comments - to answer some of the questions
Crowd control : Yes , there is quite a bit , and there are various cars / people checking before the first car comes ... but always room for improvement.
Camera : Just a simple but high quality HD system - recording onto mini tapes - still developing , and hope to have navigator notes on sound for the next one.
Roads ..... those aren't narrow !!!!!
Suspension : Raised quite a bit , but with softness - grounding is major problem. I have just finished swapping springs for something with higher rating (std fronts to back and 300lb on the front) , car is leaving tomorrow on a boat to Barbados for an Historic Rally Carnival out there in July ... so will be interesting to see what a difference that makes !! ??

Do you have a skid plate at the front for bottoming out? You've gone up on spring rates ... have you re-valved or changed the shockers?
Looking forward to hearing navigator audio on the next one.

What are these two thingies stuck onto the center of the dashboard?
