That was my first ever rally event - and although I think I possibly spent more time watching the drifting and the show girls, the actual race was good too :slight_smile:

Hard to find a decent spot - and damn I never saw any race drifting like that, but still had a good time.

I will say though - it wasn’t an easy place to get to! Train to Taichung, Train to Doliu, Taxi to Huwei then Taxi to the event in the morning!! We spent about 9000nt in travel and hotels alone!! Hopefully by next year the HSR station will be operational!

Nice to meet you Alan - do let us know about any future events!

MMM, slight comms. issues with no intercom working.managed to go the wrong way ! Normally have pacenotes so I have an idea of what the next part of the road is but…
Memo to self…should fit a rollcage also.

Caterham feels at home in the rain,just like England. Bit slippy for the power.

:roflmao: Many a true word spoken in Jest :slight_smile:
Team effort …sometimes car breaks,driver cocks up etc, can’t be too harsh with a new Navigator :frowning: Shame…we had a chance of winning until the excursion :popcorn:

Haha, very nice! You don’t usually see Rallying communications done using hand gestures! :stuck_out_tongue:

Roll bar only on the caterham?
