5-Team Trini contingent head to Rally Jamaica 2012

Postby rcadiz » November 26th, 2012, 10:30 pm

The 5-team lineup for Team TnT heading to Jamaica is as follows:
1. John Powell / Nicholas Telfer - WRC Subaru S14
2. Cristian Bourne / Jesu de Gannes - Mitsubishi Evo 8 - Grp N
3. Robert Cadiz / Peter Clarke - Mitsubishi Evo 8 - Grp N
4. Latiff Khan / Vernon Mohansingh - Mitsubishi Evo 7 - Grp A
5. Ryan Peyrau / Barry Mckenzie - Suzuki Swift Sport - 2WD

Powell was a last minute addition to the Team as he had previously withdrawn from the event as a result of the Ear condition suffered during Spain. Thankfully he was able to have it properly diagnosed and the condition has responded very well with treatment over the last 2 weeks. His condition was confirmed to be good especially after his 125km gravel test in the Evo X on Sunday in Bronte. Some of the TTRC exec, and a loyal contingent of marshals helped Powell lock down an 11km course which was repeated sometimes up to 4 times in a loop, giving Powell a fair chance at determining his ability after sometimes 35min of driving continuously.
This from Powell - "I felt really relieved to be back in the car and not suffering anything close to what i was dealing with in Spain. I was very happy to have the support of the TTRC in this regard making it possible for me to drive this mileage continuously and safely. I wasn't fully 100% today but with another week before Jamaica, i think i'll be fine. The aim is obviously to defend the title in Jamaica but it will be very tough this year with Jeffrey (Panton) in the Focus, and of course Sean (Gill) in the SX4. We will certainly do our best."

To follow John's comments, the WRC battle is going to be hot in Jamaica. This is almost deja vu of the battle that took place earlier this year in Rally Trinidad. However this time around Panton has a lot more seat time in the car and more importantly he'll be on home turf. The odds favour might favour Panton going in to the event, but Powell has a lot more seat time over him this year, and of course you cannot count Sean Gill out of this one by any means. Gill came extremely close to winning Trinidad and Barbados with 2 very unfortunate DNF's on the last day of both events, and will surely be coming with everything the SX4 has to Jamaica to wind out the last Rally for the year.

Rally Jamaica is a very similar format to Trinidad with 4-6 different stages being run over Saturday and Sunday, and a tarmac super special in Kingston to close off the Rally. The local boys should be at home with the surface and once they finish they should place well. Peyrau will have his hands full with some very quick and reliable 2WD cars including half Trini half Jamaican Bobby Marshall.

Also going will be the TTRC's adopted Bajans of James Betts, and Harold Morley. Harold has Ken Mohammed from Trinidad sitting with him, James co driver is Trinidad's Jason Costelloe . The tentative start list is as follows - NOT THE SEEDING ORDER. Seeding will be done on Thursday night. Stay tuned folks, will try to keep you guys updated as best we can.

So a quick update.
Wednesday - We spent the morning sorting out the cars, fuel, tires etc. Stewart's Sales (basically the equivalent to the ANSA Automotive Group in TnT) is housing all the cars from Trinidad. We are being looked after like you wouldn't believe. Lifts, bays, pressure washer, parts on call, staff, you name it and it is a simple question away from happening. Pace notes were the order of the day in the afternoon, followed by the event briefing that night. The seeding is done in random order but by class, so basically WRC, Grp A, Grp N, then the 2WD guys classes, and within each class you pick a name out of a hat.

Today - More pace notes, the 160km of stages are about an hour from the hotel so we start very early and are out there for the whole day before coming back in the evening. Scrutineering was today, and Stewart's had all of our cars on display for the afternoon outside the dealership. Similar vibe to our scrutineering.

Tomorrow - Last day for pace notes and then we have the ceremonial start in Kingston at 5:30pm. Hopefully we can be in bed before 10, as the Sat start involves leaving the hotel at 6:30am.

The stages - They are surrounded by beautiful scenery which doesn't matter to the drivers on the day but it does make for a nice time pace noting. The stages have everything, fast sweeping corners, tight switchbacks, water splashes, blind crests, jumps, dips, small tarmac sections, drains where you have to come to an almost complete stop. I could go on. long story short, good pace notes are simply mandatory. They don't have the treachery of Cedar hill but there are so many places that it could go wrong for the simplest of errors. Orange Trees Orange Trees Orange Trees. The Rally is on 6,000 acres of an Orchard, do the math on the amount of trees.

Our guess is that the Rally will follow suit from previous years and have high attrition rate on Saturday, so we are encouraging the guys to drive it to the end of the Rally first and foremost. Some of the supporters have started to arrive as well as Dumplin the phototakerouter so we seem to be well covered for flags and pics. Jamrock is great so far, we shall see what the next few days have in store.
