Below is a top 11 list for Saturday's EMCOS Stages {for more information and a full entry list visit the EMCOS website here}. As can be seen I'm not in the Roofing Rally Team MG Metro 6R4 (car 7). Unfortunately slight complication with my left knee (injured in Jersey) have resulted in me being unable to rally this coming weekend. That's the bad news, the good news is that I'll be fit enough torally next month so will, hopefully, finally get to start my 2008 rally season!
Adrian and Chris have a really good chance of a top 3 placing on Saturday, I'd certainly expect them to be right on the pace from the start, with a victory certainly not being out of the question. The new 6R4 is considerably quicker than the old 2.8 (it's light years faster than the Escort we used on last year's event!!) and should be ideally suited to the stages at Down Ampney. I wish the whole team luck and look forward to hearing how they're getting on through out the day ~ I can't even go and watch because I still can't drive!
