Back to school this morning, head down in the route maps: page upon page of 'Tulip' diagrams signposting the speed and transit sections of each day. Day one is 401 km of which a quarter is on closed roads at speed. The morning presents 5 speed sections at +/- 25m above sea level. The afternoon a climb of 1700 metres into the cloud and into Oaxaca. 5 more speed sections in the afternoon. Maybe 2 fuel stops. Out on the coastal road to Salina Cruz this afternoon having a look at the twisting roads which are something else. Pot-holes the size of a cow. Other teams back in Huatulco show up with pantechnicons and 8 or so crew with gleaming Maserati's and a beautiful Mk 1 Escort Mexico. Let's hope they stay beautiful. 105 teams or so and we are still, 'apparently' the only British contingent . It is a long way from The Bell in Ticehurst and a long way from Rosie, Hunter and Sienna.
Huge thanks to Gary at the Motor Sport Association for sorting my Competition B Licence .
Scrutineering and practice runs tomorrow, sorting left 3's from left 2's..missing pot-holes..
