After speaking with a couple of people who competed in the event last year and said how brilliant it was we were very keen to compete. We sent off our entry the day the regs came out and were pleased to get a run. In fact, there ended up being four crews on the event in 205’s sporting Pat Messer Motorsport livery. After a very early morning for scrutineering there was a bit of time to kill before the start of the event, which I spent working out the stage diagrams and setting my clock to rally time. This was the first event I had done for a few years with no pacenotes! It took me a until the second stage to get into the swing of reading the corners from the stage diagram, but that gave me more time to appreciate what a good venue Weston Park is. The stages were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We had a slight moment on one stage, nearly spinning at a square right before going over the bridge into the courtyard and chicane, but we came out of it unscathed. Even though we finished the event fourth in class we managed to beat the other crews in our little gang on every stage except one. We were held up by car 24 blocking the water splash and were beaten by 1 second! All in all a very enjoyable day.
