Frederic and I arrived here very late on Wednesday.
Mel, John(s) and Carol I can see now exactly what you love about this place.
It's just such a brilliant friendly atmosphere, well organized and fantastic fun.
We have made a few rookie mistakes like missing the pre event group photo and by and large we are quite unprepared but that's not spoiling anything.
Thursday nights shakedown stage was a bit of a disaster as it started to rain heavily after we had left the Adelma service area and we were on dry tyres.
Yesterday was much better. Went out early to drive the two stages and glad we did.
Completed them both without incident and the only thing we were blown away by was the crowds. Immense! Had great fun and managed a little spectating too.
Todays SIX stages are a different matter as we have absolutely no recce other than the Youtube videos Mel gave me links to. Should be interesting. But we are here for the fun and the experience so will just drive it as we see it.
