Ulster Rally 2012

The Ulster Rally rolled around again and as has become tradition we help Paddy McCollum out by doing a passage control on the Saturday, 18th August. It's always an early start but as the weather was to be good we didn't really mind. Marshaling is a much more pleasant experience in the sunshine and it was nice to spend almost the only good of summer outside. Although Rachel did get badly sunburned even though she has suncream on.



Craig Breen had the new 208 R2 out for it's first rally appearance but it was only as a 00 car. The car looked really well and I noticed that it had a wee wooden insert in the handbrake lever which is a pretty nice touch. All the drivers were suffering in the heat and were just a sweaty mess by the time they got to us, they must have been working hard.

My friend Robert Erwin was out in his 1600 RWD Corolla and set some great times though he had some problems that dropped him down the final standings.
