It’s a great event indeed in a lovely location and nice people...only a pity there is much rain here than in England at the moment!
Sandro is happy like us but a bit cold and wet on the roof so we put him inside on dashboard![]()

Frederic/John,
Keep it on the black stuff.
Fantastic, sounds like a great event to be involved in. Nice pictures. Looking forward to more updates.
Paul.
Sat in a real one, may never wash again!
Now that last pic of you two leaning together on the car reminds me of a photo of Wham! from the 80s, but with a bit less hair. Or maybe I dreamt it? (nightmare!!) Anyway, for God's sake don't start singing or they'll throw you out, but you can probably use the pic for your latest album cover![]()
That's been said before Norm. I have an uncanny resemblance to George Michael.
Anyway, Frederic has done brilliantly this morning to complete six stages with absolutely no recce and no help from me. We survived one slide into a hairpin stopping just short of the rock face and had one little kiss of the wooden barriers on the way up somewhere (don't ask me to remember it's just a blur).
We haven't dropped a single minute to anyone on the stage itself, nor have we had to overtake, but Frederic has done so well.
Two more to survive this afternoon. Forecast is good so we may even put the dry tyres on now.
So lunch now
Drys now fitted. The forecast is good.
Well, sadly, twas not to be.
We've gone out at the end of the penultimate stage, Hermosa. It was hellish rough in places and the car has developed a big misfire.
Plenty of fuel but it's got to be ignition or worse still cam timing. Let's hope for the best.
Loaded up and ready for home already. But the party is just starting.
Tough luck Frederic.
maybe something simple like the throttle position sensor connector?? I remember that this happened before at Albi track?!
A few photos sent to Frederic from Trasmeira Facebook friends. Thank you all!
