Well seeing as last year I did my 1st ever forest rally and my 1st ever event on notes, I think my 1st event of this year will be a big step up.
My 1st event will be this Sunday (10th Feb) on the Riponian Rally in Yorkshire. I will be doing the event with Yuk Hodgson in his Honda S2000 engined Escort Mk1. As well as this being possibly the fastest car I have competed in it will also be the first time I have used maps in the Trees, so I am very nervous.
We are seeded at car 41, but are hoping to better this. Its not long since that Yuk came back to rallying after a lay off. Before his lay off he was one of the most sideways and entertaining drivers in the UK, so it looks like I will have alot of fun.

Huh up Joe,
Hope you enjoyed your Riponian rally, I was impressed with you handling of the maps, just a little more practice will help you to recognise the small twiddley bits, (that in notes you would say as "down the middle")and to ignore, on maps. Another thing that will help in future is after you read a note ie 90L into 90R don't forget to include (in same call) a rough distance before next call.
All the best in your rallying in the future.
Yuk
Hey Yuk,
I really enjoyed it, it was a very good day. I think I learnt more in that one day than I did all last year. Thank you for a great oppertunity, just a pity that I made a few mistakes.
Joe
