So they learn to grow grow up on atomic surface.

So for us it's just more natural, um, something we're more used to.

And, you know, obviously earlier in the year we've just been doing tarmic rallies, which

We've done a lot of time on now over my over my many years of Rallyum, but it's still not

you know, a hundred percent as comfortable as what Gravel was, so

you know, let us loose on gravel, then we can sort of unleash the shackles a little bit and

get into our comfort zone and that's where things just happen a lot more naturally.

Yeah, it definitely takes a lot of adaptation.

Um there's there's no substitute for seat time and and when we're not on this car all the time, uh, you know, that is the hardest thing for us to adapt to.

You know, you get back into the car after several months away and

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 who are 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.
