Nice Dave. What does it involve? How fast do you go on the stages? Do you do all stages?

What people need to realise is that the cars that proceed the rally cars aren't just there for a bit of fun or a free entry into an event.

If I'm the first car after the Advanced or 000, 00, or 0 cars, I want to be confident that they have done their jobs right. To ensure the safety of the following drivers and Co drivers and most importantly the spectators. If they are not there for these purposes and only to see how fast they are going or comparing times with the actual racers then they need to have a rethink as to why they are there. Especially if they only have a bolt in or semi attached roll cage.

Involves proceeding through the stages at the time of road closure to ensure that stage teams, tag & tape, road closures, sos, chichane, etc are all getting in place and setup as required. We assist with tagging gates, bunting of roads, looking for any potential risks. ie. random car parked on a stage, spectators in areas they shouldn't be in, etc. We also carry extra equipment for the teams.

Yes, we do every stage except the Perth city stage on the Sunday, generally at road speeds.

I don't know anyone on the course car team that is out there to see how fast they are going etc.
Most have been fulfilling their respective roles for years and know exactly why they are there.

And as possibilly the third car out on Saturday, we do appreciate all of the efforts of the officials, both in cars and those on the side of the road, and those in areas where they won't see much at sll.
