So far it is not our race. 1st roadbook started almost last due to the bad prolog we did. When it is pouring rain and more then 50 cars already passed the track it is completely gone and not driveable anymore. We raced for 8 hrs straight and where then stopped by the organisation at a checkpoint. Max time was 10 hrs so we where a bit dissapointed all our hard work from that day didn’t pay off. Specially when we found out that we had the same time penalty as the cars that got broken down in the beginning of the stage and had all the time to prepare the car again.
Never surrender and get on to the circuit race we took the special stage in the first round had to wait little bit for other cars and got round to the top and back to the mud puddles. First one we could drive. Will post video in story. Second mudhole was one with two holes. First one we took easy second one we choose the wrong track, drive belt came off the engine. No more power steering, no more 12 and 24 volt. Ended up in a Vertical wall that maybe even was negative so the tires were in the wall and no way of winching out. Repaired the drive belt. Tried again, winch rope broke and due to the mud that was everywhere the drivebelt was not right enough en came loose again so we had to stop. Mechanics went to camp to pic up our mobile pressure washer and got pulled out of the hole by a bulldozer. Repaired it in the field and drive back to camp to prepare for the night stage. Due to the bad start we had to start the night stage as one of the last cars again. But now something positive we had good pace and no mistakes and came back as 13th car 💪🏻 finally something positive. Today we can start way more in the front. A lot of rain again, so that will help hopefully. Another positive thing the car is doing great and is still on one piece.
