In pursuit of ERC Radio perfect

Heavily laden with tubes of Pringles and bottles of full-fat Coca Cola, Chris Rawes and Julian Porter have been driving around the sun-baked southern Moravia countryside today, in pursuit of future ERC Radio perfect.

Here is the scene at the stop line of the 11.74 kilometre Semetín stage, near the village of Hošťálková, which will be run twice, as SS10 and 13, on Sunday.

They have been joined on the road by the FIA European Rally Championship crews, who have been making their pace notes for the event – which begins tomorrow night.
