Woodbridge Stages

For the first time in over six years I was out navigating on a stage rally. 


I was navving for Suze on her Stage Rally driving début on the Chelmsford MC Hutton Kitchens Woodbridge Stage rally - running at MoD Woodbridge. 


We were out in Suze's Micra which is now in full stage-spec, running on Yoko A048R's.


As the day went on Suze increased the speed and commitment with improving stage times on every run. 


The car ran well - apart from having to change the front brake pads at lunchtime as we had worn them down to the metal which meant they had started to melt the backing plates !




You can see where the caliper piston bent the backing plate as it melted .......


The rest of the day ran well, and apart from a a very worn NSF tyre at the end of the event. The car ran faultlessly which was handy as it had to be driven home again !




As you can see the tyre was a bit worn !!!!!


Also we ran an in car video during the event, which you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqy1_YMUpu0
