ALL PART OF THE RALLY EXPERIENCE FOR ALAJAJIAN
Wet weather played havoc with the second leg of the WPS Rally Bathurst today, dampening more than Sydney youngster Chris Alajajian’s rally debut.
After a DNF in the first leg when his car became stuck out on stage, the 18 year-old was looking forward to the prospect of putting a full day of driving in the Subaru Rally Challenge class of the Globalstar Australian Rally Championship under his belt.
Mother Nature, though, had other ideas.
Almost half of the days running was cancelled, as heavy rain lashed the Bathurst region and turned forest roads into puddle-ridden mud.
In the opening stages of the day, Alajajian took a steady approach in the trying conditions. At the end of the first three stages, he in 24th place outright and fifth in the Subaru Rally Challenge class.
