WOW, pretty remarkable climb for Lagemann/Orr to go from 54th after day1 to finish 14th overall by end of day2 after the dreadful SS3 time due to a flat and slow 1/2 roll !
"What happened next was surely not in the plans. On a right-hand turn, the car suddenly spun and was put up on its side. It was quite slow. It wasn?t even able to get it up onto its roof, it just rolled onto the side and stopped, sighed Orr. It was not until about ten minutes later that some spectators suddenly appeared and helped push the car back down onto its four wheels. They continued on, and all in all lost a massive fourteen minutes during the ordeal."
Lagemann/Orr & Prodrive must have been overjoyed when that band of outlaw spectators escaped from the Designated Spectator Area and lent a hand to get them back into the rally, albeit 14 minutes in arrears. Sure glad SS3 finish control was not notified of these errant spectators and that the stage was not shut down as stated would happen in the Spectator Warning section
AMAZING tie between O'Sullivan and Choiniere ... all that rallying, all the miles, all the stages and an identical 1:42:39 for both teams ! Paul certainly put on a good show for being a part-timer, but then again, it was in his "backyard" and I am sure he barely needs the notes in those woods
GpN ... impressive finish for the 2 "foreigners" to take the top 2 spots in the GpN category, Reynolds UK (6th OA) and Thomson CAN (9th OA)showing how it is done. Speaking of Canadians, McGeer certainly impressed once again and what happened with the Sprongl's ?
Impressive finishes II goes to P. Purcell finishing 15th OA in an EVO after campaigning that 2 wheel drive Euro Astra the last # of years. Nice ! Also, from reviewing the results, there were quite a few excellent drives by many teams that were fortunate enuff to have escaped the clutces of the brutal MFR backroads. Congrats !
Well, gotta run, just a few of my Sunday observations before more reports, stories, and info rolls in from those that were there and those in the know. Pass along your "stuff" and let us know who the heroes and zeroes were :7
