Amongst the cars and drivers who turned up at ‘Test the Rest’
last Saturday ahead of this weekend’s
Jim Clark Rally was Garry Pearson in his Peugeot 208 R2. The test was vital for
two reasons. He didn’t finish the Pirelli and the Peugeot suspension which has
been sent over is based on foreign road surfaces.
Using the new relief road at the Rest and Be Thankful north
of Arrochar, the tarmac test session ha attracted quite a bit of interest and
Tom Coffield MkII took a few foties.

According to Garry: “We have been given tarmac suspension
set-ups from Peugeot Sport in France however most of these relate to French,
Italian and Belgian roads as this car has not really competed in mainland UK on
tar, so a test was important and I learned a lot.”
And here’s another thing, Garry drives part of the Duns
Stage every morning to work. Does that count as recce-ing? On the other hand if
he does have a woopsie there, he’ll never live it down.
