I was the first to join Peter at FRC for our inaugural Rally and Time Attack event of 2025, but soon after, others started arriving and one of them who I was half-expecting was Ramesh, a big fan of these particular FRC events. Within short time, we had seven drivers with their cars, the eighth - Liam - arriving shortly after we had completed the first round of the rally stages. But he didn't lose out, as we let him do the missing stage to be on par with us all.
As usual, the competition was close, both with the rally stages as well as the time attack runs, some drivers doing almost perfect laps with minimal lap time variations. The cars were generally very close in times, those making the least mistakes leading the rest. This was particularly so in the case of the time attacks, where everyone drove the same FRC IROC Ferrari F430. Those able to do consistent quick times without de-slotting were at the leading edge. One driver in particular stood out though, managing to win every rally stage and one time attack stage.
Thanks to Peter for having everything prepared as usual and for cleaning the time attack Ferrari's tyres for all the drivers!
It was great to have Luke back behind the camera to take these pics to start things off:
Ram really likes our rally and time attack events and didn't miss this one:
