Andy Hayes, co-driver, here showing off his pace note book. The rally was based in Trier and the service crew took the car to Koln for the start.
In Koln. It was great fun on the VIP coach from Trier rubbing shoulders with the top drivers. Jari Matti Latvala offered to drive as he thought “he had a good feeling for it”. Mads Ostberg was going round with sweets.
Now in the famous Moselle vineyards climbing high from the river, notorious for the many tricky junctions and long drops.
The scenery of the Mosel is stunning and a great backdrop to the WRC. The vineyards were packed with spectators from all over, identifying their area with national flags making for a very colourful scene.
