Sam Tickell is at the National Capital Rally for the Asia Pacific Rally Championship – here is a small glimpse of the action

It has been a battle all day between the two Team MRF Skoda’s as day one of the National Capital Rally draws to a close with Norway’s Ole Christian Veiby leading Gaurav Gill from India by 11 seconds. The teams will tackle the Todbinbilla forest tomorrow for the final day of round two of the FIA Asia-Pacific Rally Championships.

“I have to say today has been really good, I have enjoyed the day a lot it’s something special,” Veiby said today. “We had our issues as well today, with a small puncture at the end of a stage but all is going well. The stages are different and not so fast tomorrow and a little bit different. It should work fine for us. We have made some adjustments for tomorrow”.

“This rally has been a big fight with Gaurav and hopefully it will be our time tomorrow. We will have a good night’s sleep and prepare for tomorrow,” Veiby concluded.

Reigning champion Gill sits behind Veiby by 11 seconds. “It’s been a short day but it has been really good, really fast stages I have loved the stages,”
