That's excellent!
Great to see the car used and not a museum piece.
Is a super fast stage, how far behind the front running bda's were you on that stage? (understandable given the car's history/value!)

We did better in the fast stages SS23 22 on road and SS24 32nd had a little moment and that had an impact on the last stage At one stage 8000 rpm in top so there was a lot of speed in spots this is the creek crossing a couple of wet men at the end

Heres the end of our Alpine, just no grip when the surface changed half way round the corner. Bit of damage, but all fixable

Ouch. Looks like a decent hit.
Nice in car footage John. Did you film the entire event or just selected stages?
