Guys,

Dinesh Deheragoda - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX GT

Nishan Weerasooriya - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX GT

Aravinda Premadasa - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII RS

Rizvi Farouk - Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C Type RA (GD)

The event timings will be as follows.

Stage 1: Saturday, 10:30 AM

Stage 3: Saturday, 8:00 PM

Stage 4: Saturday, 10:00 PM

Stage 5: Sunday, 10:00 AM

Stage 6: Sunday, 12:00 PM

As you can imagine there will be some really great action, and with this being an all-tarmac rally the cars will look spectacular as well. There are some big names running along with some new car/driver combinations. Those of you who can make it out there should do so. I know Madhawa, Preveen and Dimantha are going, but more of you should come.

Maybe AL will carry regularly updated stage results. Madz?

machan any one knows how to get to KKG. Please can some one post directions,

[Pericles]

Had this thread last year

http://forum.autolanka.com/index.php?s...ic=871&st=0

As for directions, there is a place called Kukuleganga Holiday resort or summin. Googleable. They had directions. (To the resort, obviously, but the rally should be in the general area. )

[drake]

word of advice to everyone coming, the resort is right in the middle of the rally route, so make sure you guys make your way before the stages are scheduled to as the police will be closing the roads in advance and you won't see much at the finishing points

Congratulations for the Winners !!!!!!!!!

BTW what happened to KLM & Nigel ?

[KLM]

KLM & Nigel went there on time, recce'd both routes and on our way back to the control area, the bearings went in the Starlet, big-time. We were out before even the first competitive stage. It was sad because we got a good rythem going on the fast recces we did and would have been competitive.

The other Starlet also went out with bearing failure after the first stage.

The tragedy of the rally had to be Rizvi Farouk and the STi 8 Spec C. His guys sent his car to the start of SS1 on the wrong tires completely and by the time they got the right tires on, the first stage was over and he was practically out of the rally. However, he ran the second stage just to shake down the car and was quite quick, just 9 seconds behind Aravinda despite being held up by another car or two.
