Charterhall Stages 2006 - Saturday 1st April 2006This was the first visit to Charterhall for the team. The rally is held on an old airfield in the Borders. The day consisted of 7 stages ranging from 5 miles to 9 miles in length. The first stage went reasonably well with no problems as the team got used to the car again after 6 months without a rally. Stage 2 had a couple of mishaps. The first came at a big braking point when the car was going a bit quick and missed the corner. It then stalled and a lot of time was lost. Later in the stage the car spun again losing a few more seconds. Stage 3 went fine but stage 4 saw another spin which dropped more time. Stage 5 was completed with no problems. Stage 6 was going OK until we picked up a puncture with a couple of miles to go. The decision was taken to continue until the end. With about half a mile to go the tyre delaminated completely and destroyed the front wing as the the car limped over the finish line. Stage 7 went fine and the team finished the day in 12th place.
