Most rally's in WA are pace noted, we will do 2 passes and note down everything you can. these seem harder at first but with every corner noted and most big corners numbered it’s not too bad.
We do have 2 rallies that are route charted (blind rally) you get no passes on them you have a book that will tell you the main direction at intersections and will warn of very bad obstacles but that’s it you will go as fast as you can with no idea what could be around the next bend or over the next crest. Again you would think for a co-driver it sound easy but you only have a rough idea of when the next big corner is and there could be 4 corners in between so knowing which is the right one can be hard.
That photo of the car was at Rally Aus back in 06' and we where the fastest of all the old cars there. In the last race we were up against a 600hp V8 commodore and kick his arse.
I am a serious competitor who is after a state title so I need someone how is really keen to give it a go.
Normally a co-driver will pay the entry fee for the event of about $600-$700 but I will spend over $1000 on tyres per event plus $500 on fuel plus and repairs and there are always little repairs.
Please our sport is lacking co-drivers so let’s not see these type of events die in WA.
If you are serious you will need to get a cams licence $150 and join a car club $50 and pass an online safety test (easy).
And then hang on for the most fun you could ever have, when you finish a 20km stage and you have gone as fast as you can you will not sleep for days.
