The whole of the camping grounds transform into a huge off road rally car village with each of the participants creating their own pit areas and support infrastructure. A perfect day to come visit and view the amazing array of different choices of cars and setups and even have a chat with the crews.
To explain a little more about the Test and Tune with Pace Note practice day…
Test and tune and pace notes practice events for rally cars are focused sessions where drivers and co-drivers work on perfecting various aspects of their performance.
1. Test and Tune: This involves fine-tuning the car’s setup, making adjustments to suspension, tires, engine mapping, etc., to ensure optimal performance for the specific conditions of the rally course. It’s about refining the car’s handling, speed, and reliability.
2. Pace Notes Practice: Co-drivers create and refine detailed pace notes, which are descriptive instructions about the course’s features, such as turns, jumps, bumps, and hazards. The driver relies on these notes during the rally to navigate the course at high speeds with precision. Practice sessions help synchronize the driver and co-driver and perfect the pace note delivery.
Both activities are crucial for rally success, as they enhance the team’s understanding of the car’s capabilities and the course’s challenges, leading to improved performance and safety during the actual rally event.
