I know that I havn't blogged with a few raliles and I must apologise for that, as i was not available after the last few events to comment on them.

I must thank both Pirelli and JRM for this opportunity to contest the Donegal International Rally, as it has always been one of my ambitions to compete here. For me, it will be my first time competing in the North West, but I dont expect that to be a major factor.

We managed a reasonable Recce on Monday and Tuesday and i have to admit that the stages are very challenging (probably more so for somebody who has never before experienced them), i must also admit that i relish the challenge. I have to admit that these tarmac stages are some of the toughest that I have ever encountered. However, I believe that even the current World Rally Champion made the same comment when he rallied them!

I look forward to each stage after todays test when I found that the combination of the JRM EVO X and the Pirelli Tyres that we tested sholud mean that we will be very competitive in Donegal and I'm anticipating that we will be very close to the leaders!
