One day before the start...
Friday, 19 March 2010 02:26
A day before start the majority of the teams already was going to in vicinities of the city of Pordenone. And many of them pursued the same aims as we – to be trained before the race. Anyway, today on tests we were crossed both with Toni Van Dejn's team and with Kristof Holovchits. They too have preferred to spend superfluous day for car adjustment.
Team trainings have passed under in advance planned schedule – on all cars suspension bracket options have once again checked up, crews have checked up job of all gauges, have swept on the paths similar to that meet on race. However the brightest impression was left by trainings of replacement of the punched wheels. Especially the great pleasure was received by all mechanics of the team, observing, as pilots independently twist nuts and change wheels.
The Italian military men too haven't stopped doctrines so we tried to pass on line by turns, dispersing from the tanks.
By the evening all cars have been sent in service zone, and the team was engaged in studying of documents. Organizers have seriously enough changed preliminary declared scheme of competition. Now it very much bears a strong resemblance familiar to all of us to "Northern Forest» - on Saturday three SS on 65 km in one direction, and on Sunday 2 circles in the opposite on the same track. Thus, the general kilometric area of the race has changed not strongly. Thus, judging by documents, remains sites on river channel very little, organizers have emphasised roads among fields.
Well and tomorrow since morning team crews will pass administrative and technical checks, and then pilots are waited by solemn start in city Spilimbergo and Super Special Stage on the river channel.
