Found a ditch, no major damageOgier has had a bit of drama on first stage this morning! Stopped but going again.
Yeah, always in the media looking money, never seen many results though@DC. @Graham
Have you guys ever heard of Louise Cook (Louise Cook | World Rally Driver – Driving Change) ?
I saw an article on the BBC news site that she had lost some sponsors and wondered if she was any good?
Is there Super Rally in Monte?
Ah, that's a story from the pocket of an anorak@David.S She's been around for years and never really made much headway. Budget was always shoe string and she has worked very hard to get money on board.
Personally, I think she's adopted a strange programme doing sporadic and more expensive one off drives in WRC rounds instead of using the funding for a domestic programme.
The car she drives (Fiesta ST) is now in group N / production class, whereas most up and coming drivers are in the proper recognised junior category - R2. Either in BRC, ERC or Drive DMack or JWRC.
@CessPretty sure the original ST is still homologated, but it's a 2.0 which means it's R4 2wd. There's nobody else running anything like that at all in international level. The ST Fiesta trophy is long since gone too. So the only thing you'd be rallying against is yourself.
I have emailed her and will wait to see if she replies, thanks for the info.You o
Your money dude, but she's done about 2 rallies in two years. She was very active with PR to be fair to her.
If you need help ref understanding the costings of rallying just ask as it is not a cheap sport at all and as such any decent sponsorship comes at a cost of thousands / tens of thousands, even at a local levelI have emailed her and will wait to see if she replies, thanks for the info.

But do the team have enough spares on board to be able to repair or are they travelling light as it is the first event and maybe haven't got a full parts bin yetLefebrve started again today under Super Rally rules.
See Hanninen went off on SS5 and is also out. He was flying too.
