Rally Day One - a visit to Imola Grand Prix Circuit



After the car and documents were checked over we attended a briefing explaining the basics of the rally stages. Each stage is a surprise with only basic directions given.

The first stage this afternoon was a short trip across town to the Imola Grand Prix circuit.

A buffet lunch was served in the Ferrari pit stop garage and we were allowed to eat while sitting on the ledge of the pit lane. The picture shows us with Dan from team 7, who will be in front of us for the rally stages.

We were then invited to take part in some driving challenges in the car park, including formation driving to crush plastic coffee cups and to slalom through cones. We will find out tomorrow how well we did at those activities! Then we were invited onto the track....
