You're sort of having the process, you know, the the speed, how the car's reacting under different circumstances and um it's not as easy compared to the regular drivers who you're driving every two or three weeks.

So, um we knew for this particular rally that we had to sort of take a few more risks and you just had to ignore the fact that you didn't know what the car was gonna do over certain jumps or different circumstances and just

Keep your foot up and just take that risk that, you know, you wouldn't normally do if you're in the car regularly um and just hope for the best really.

I think it's it was both.

Uh for this rally we knew it was a bonus.

It was never on the on the initial plan at the start of the year.

So we're obviously very grateful they have the opportunity.

But at the same time, you know, this is the end of an era this year for these Rally One cars and and we we we know it's probably our last rally of the year.

So you wanna go out with a bang as such.

Um, nothing to lose was sort of the mentality.

So we went out and and gave it the best we could, um, even though the odds were were somewhat stacked against us and

Um, you know, proud that we're able to do that and and enjoy it as well.

Um, you know, they're amazing cars to drive and and we're very lucky to have that opportunity.

And um so yeah, we're able to tick both boxes and um yeah, it's a perfect sort of send off in that respect.

Uh no, I'd say the the team are super supportive, um, which which surprised me this year, just how supportive they have been.

Um and getting behind us, helping us, you know, for them it's you know, we're a a long shot signing this year, I'd say.

Um a lot of people in Europe almost would say we're a bit of a joke signing.

Um so they come back and have the team, you know, support us, get behind us.

Um, you know, it makes you feel so much more comfortable in that environment and and

I'd say a lot of them were were generally really happy that we're able to to deliver, particularly the people on the team who were there when we were last here eight years ago as well.
