The day started on a good note with Team TwinSpark on P5 in Club class. The field of about 50 cars in our class had suffered a blow in the regularity ran in darkness yesterday. We had found the correct route and from four regularities we emerged with minimal penalties.

It was good to see Cooper and Rene in the 911 Targa had made it back last night at about 11, after 4 hours of downtime in the wilderness before they could be found back. No damage to the car and unbroken spirits for that team. Today they tried their luck again on a snowy track and ended up in a ditch. This time it happened on the main route though. Thank God the Mercedes of Fer d’ Arnaud was close behind and he managed to pull the 911 Targa 2.2S free.

We just arrived at our hotel in Weimar after a day with 170 km of highways to get to the East, mixed with three tests at Twente Airport and four 15km regularity section. A good day to get back into the rythm, because the regularity sections were set on icy, snowy side-roads. Lethal conditions as even one of the Irish competitors, Frank Fennell, who does nothing but rallying, drilled himself into a ditch a few minutes ahead of us. Not something we could fix, but definitely a nice job for the rescue crew with a 4×4!

Our test this morning consisted of three sections and included icy, snowy and asphalt sections and it was a hoot as usual. We had two small misses, which cost us a few seconds, but where last year we had many offs due to abundant risks being taken, this year we [...]
