After insisting that we wouldn’t be doing the recce for this event, we rolled up onto the ranges and paid our £10 to complete the recce. After one pass we decided we’d had enough and went back to the B and B. I found the recce very helpful in getting used to the peculiarities of Epynt and how tricky it can be. My Dad was keen to see how the car would go since he changed the final drive. We were lying second in class when disaster struck…a burst water hose put us out of the event on stage 7. Despite our early finish we had a good day and I particularly enjoyed the section of stage through the German village.
