Molly's Blog - Ulster Rally |
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.

Disappointment for Molly at Ulster Rally |
|
Following their driveshaft failure in Leg 1 of the Ulster Rally, Molly and Coral rejoined the event under the Super Rally rules for Leg 2. On SS8 they caught a car which was slowly limping through the stage with mechanical problems, and they crashed into the back of it.
"Sadly the speed differential was too great and the road was narrow and only wide enough for one car," Coral said. "Everyone was OK but the damage to the car meant we were unable to continue."

No luck for Molly on day 1 of Ulster Rally |
|
Molly has had a disappointing start to the Ulster Rally in Ireland. A small off on SS1 caused the Citroen C2 R2 to hit a hedge and the car became bogged. It took some time for Molly and Coral to extricate the car but they were soon back on their way, only to have the driveshaft break in SS2.
After repairs to the car, Molly will be back out on Day 2 under Super Rally rules.
