A great weekend!

Hi all,
We travelled to Chesterfield at the weekend for the Rally Show at Chatsworth. The show was sponsored by Kick Energy, and we were invited to bring the Fiesta there to take part. It was a race against time the get the car ready, but all credit to M-Sport, they had the engine ready just in time, and Tom fitted it in Dovenby Hall on Friday.
The weather on Saturday was fantastic, bright sunshine and a really good fun stage was a great crowd pleaser. We had some guest runs in my own car, and then halfway during the day Steve Perez kindly gave me a spin in his Focus WRC, followed by his Datsun Safari car, and last but by no means least his immaculate Lancia Stratos. It was a fantastic opportunity to be able to drive such prestigious cars at a young age, and I can't be greatful enough to Steve for giving me the chance! We took part in event 5, the FIA event, against Steve in his Focus WRC. We led after the first day, but we were no match to Steve on day 2, and we ended up finishing a distant second. All in all, it was a really enjoyable weekend, and I'm looking forward to next year already!
I was in Letterkenny yesterday for an interview with RTE before the Donegal International Rally in two weeks. It's going to be aired next week at some point next week on the sports section on RTE News.
Looking forward to Donegal now, getting myself prepared both physically and mentally, and can't wait for recce to start next week.
I'll be keeping the twitter up to date so keep a look out.
All the best,
Craig
