It has been an up and down few weeks. It was fantastic to have Mum back over again. In the lead up to the Ulster Rally we had some really good preparation and testing. On the down side, the rally itself was incredibly tough and it was frustrating to not be able to come away with a finish or any solid times.
Citroen were also out at the rally debuting their new DS3 R3 rally car and I was able to attend their press day and have a passenger ride in the car. It is a 1.6L turbo with the paddle shift from the WRC car. It was completely different to the C2R2, but incredibly quick. The torque and technology was very impressive and it looks like it will be a successful package.

Well, I'm counting down the days now until the Isle of Man!
It feels like forever since the Jim Clark and I can't wait to get back into it. I am even more excited now that I will have Mum calling the notes for me. It will be a fantastic opportunity to have her in the car and I am confident she will help fast track the steep learning curve I am on.

This has been the first weekend in a while I have actually spent at home so it was nice to be able to catch up on a few things.
It doesn't feel like we are already at the midway point in the season. Although my overall position is not where I would have liked, I am happy with the progress. This year was always going to be about learning so am just trying to keep things in perspective.

It's 9.45pm on Friday night and yet again I find myself sitting on the familiar ferry between Scotland and Ireland, heading to what is now very much my second home..
Last weekend I had the chance to have a run on the infamous Irish Tarmac down at the Killarney rally. It was a jump in the deep end but one I had to take to get the miles and confidence up. It was a really worthwhile experience, despite feeling like going from hero to zero in a week – coming from winning stages at the Pirelli to being miles off the pace the next weekend! The important thing was to get experience and the changeable conditions and bumpy stages were ideal. Also to have a run at Molls Gap was pretty special. It was amazing to think that I was on the other side of the world driving on roads which I had watched in awe a few years ago – it put things into perspective a bit.

I have had a very up and down weekend but overall I am happy with my pace in the rally despite the result that could have been if I hadn't incurred the super rally penalties.
I only have one more day in England and then I'm back off to Ireland as I have the opportunity to compete in the famous Rally of the Lakes, which is the third round of the Irish Tramac Championship. (I could get used to this!). The Rally of the Lakes is a great opportunity for me to compete on tarmac in the Citroen before the next round of the BRC which a The Jim Clark International rally in Scotland next month.
