Monte Carlo Or Bust!
24/01/2010
Marshall performs vital role as Ice Note crew on the Monte Carlo Rally, the opening round of the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
The 21-year-old co-driver has recently returned from the world famous Monte Carlo Rally, where he was assisting the British crew of Harry Hunt & George Gwynn in their Ford Fiesta R2 by providing tyre selection and ice note infromation.
Working alongside driver Matthias Boon, the 2008 FSTi Shootout Winner, Seb was responsible for adjusting the crews pace notes with the latest surface information and relaying this vital information to the team, with a suggestion for the optimum tyre for the conditions.
Throughout the gruelling 400km of stages, including a monstrous 45km stage, the crew encountered every feasbile situation, with the weather throwing snow, fog, rain and bright sunshine at the competitors, not to mention the varied surfaces: dry and wet tarmac, snow, and ice! Add in darkness on some stages and it is clear to see just how important having up-to-date infomation is.
"It was a great experience to see these stages, in particular the famous Col de Turini" commented Seb. "I'm very grateful for being given this opportunity, and am delighted I was able to contribute to the team effort, resulting in a strong finish on one of the most demanding rallies in the world."
