We come again to tell you also this new experience.
As you may have noticed this year we can not engage in a championship because there a league to join. For this
participate sporadically in some of the Croatian Championship races and some races of the Mediterranean Trophy.
Both leagues are good but the long distance of both from our native lands prevents us from fully engage.
This time it touched the Trofeo Mediterraneo that the usual land in Sicily and Calabria, he moved in Sardinia.
Surely the trip was good although some things may, according to organizers did not work, but we think it was great despite the epilogue. Very well organized and attended by real fans who think just to give us the great gas without mince words.
This stage of the Trofeo Mediterraneo is queued to SANDALION RALLY organized by Filos Luca rates in this corner of Sardinia is able to cut a distance of approximately 150km of special dirt beautiful and varied.
arrive just in time (in theory) for the start of the race, in practice we are well in advance because some "jealous" (not to say the least) has seen fit to lodge a complaint as unfounded on the non-legality of the race and then the police starting blocks. As soon as the matter clarified and confirmed the legality of perfect competition, the organizers and all the necessary permits are ready to go.
order to avoid further delays it pops CO and can be reached at the start of the first convoy of 41 km Special
We start by 7 °, spot on, 150m straight, Y-SX 630m, 690m curve to the right .. azz ... .. but where is a 30m take the third left ... even here we have not. We are meeting to look around to find the lost note. (A special end of year we find that all the wrong notes and some even worse than we wandered for a minute).
After collecting daisies for a while we put the road "just believe" but to be sure we have to wait for the next note which is then travel 2.840me conservation ok ... even if we trip on the long notes lose a lot meters, we found ourselves.
pick up the pace but the car does not respond as we want. Gianluca before departure has softened the attitude expecting fund split but now can not push hard. A few more notes not quite accurate due to trip and / or roadbook not exactly perfect, but everything runs pretty smooth until mid-trial.
We are at 22km and about 30min race and now the attitude has changed dramatically. The car does not copy more than a little rough on the bottom and if you can take down when you arrive on the gap is not as we had more shocks.
arrive in 4 km from the end and the set becomes unmanageable. Gianluca explodes and decides to give up. The car is difficult to ride to the point where we think we have broken something because it seems impossible to be completely different from how it was only 20 days in Croatia.
ago
arrive at the end of special discussing and trying to figure out what happened but the idea of \u200b\u200bGianluca is, however, to withdraw. Eventually I am convinced that if the car has no injury, return to the set as it was before and we experience the second stage ... if it does not improve we will withdraw.
get off the timekeeper to keep time ... we paid 15'38 "from the first ... a life ... even though we are still 8 ° and 2 ° of the prototypes (small consolation) and while I'm about to go up in this car is silenced. Gianluca look and he looks at me. We do not understand what happened. The car will not start. I collapsed on the world .. now what the hell is going on.
I open the hood and check all (or so it seems to me ). There is a loss of oil or water. The fuel pump and the motor runs well. The straps are in place. Try to disconnect and change control. .. Nothing what c. .. or is it takes a machine.
Now time passes and as we get used to the idea already ventilated before retiring at the end even though I still hope to return the next day. Not cenrto for the classification as to use the car, feeling better and still have fun. If the bunch if only because we have to be pulled to make this race.
They are now 16.00 and we will not be until 22.00 campers to take a shower before going to dinner now. This is because we are 60 km of winding hilly Arbatax and now that we get there, take campers and cart, return here, we load the car and return to Arbatax it gets dark.
Now at 23.00 we do not find any more assistance We understand that most of us try to understand the problem and then go to dinner and at 24.00 we are in the arms of Morpheus.
the morning departure of the motion is scheduled for 7:00 and 7:35 for the car at 7.00
are already dressed up and going to the park service to find someone who believes we can not help but find none. Everything and the desert and you see someone only a few minutes from the start that only the first and only seven riders who will continue competition because of the other there was a sort of mutiny, and then we ought to abandon any ambitions to run.
After everyone left around 8:30 you have the other drivers not to travel so someone takes the trouble to find out what happened. Here ... the bitter surprise in the cord of the distributor that has been stripped down a metal plate screwed it exposed to ground. Practically the only thread that I did not check. A lap belt and the swift sings better than before.
are now 9.30. we have breakfast, we prepare the camper and we move in the direction of Olbia for the return. Halfway taken by anger, nervous and want to unload the car to vent the truck and we scamper to make a spectacular one hour on gravel roads of Sardinia. The car works fine ... it will be because it is not in the race.
SE 6 UNCERTAIN HOLD OPEN! .... If only the car comes on!
