Actually my family's got a vineyard down in Wanacre as well, Patton's paddock.
So um there's plenty of wine to go
Uh of course you you sort of back yourself that you want to be competitive, but I I think um deep down I think even to try and be in the top five was gonna be a long shot.
So uh it was certainly a surprise to be as competitive as what we were and
Yeah, nice surprise, you know, considering it was our first time on gravel and uh in so long.
So um yeah, it gelled quite nicely.
Uh yeah, definitely.
It was that definitely that sort of reality check going, Okay, this is actually quite a a f what a feeling that we were used to many years ago, but we we wouldn't expect them to be in that position this weekend.
Um
But it was just one of those rallies where everything sort of clicked.
Um, everything felt easy.
Often when things feel easy, uh that's when the performance comes.
Um
So yeah, it was a nice position to be in, but in saying that we were expecting a lot of rain over the weekend and we're just, you know, holding out for that rain because we we knew that was gonna throw the rally on its head, but
That never come.
Uh and knowing what we know now, you you
you know, we may have could have and probably should have pushed harder to to maybe even go for the win.
Uh well I think for us coming from New Zealand, you know, as New Zealand young rally drivers, all our rallies are are gravel.
So we learn to grow up and learn how, you know, the car moving around on on a gravel surface.
But in in Europe a lot of the rallies are atomic.
