This year's rally saw a high rate of attrition with several crews retiring, rejoining the rally, and then retiring again due to either mechanical issues or accidents. The most serious accident to happen during the weekend involved Daryl Clarke and Russell Brancker on SS5 - Spring Vale.

The seriousness of their injuries required them to seek treatment in the USA. A fundrasier has been started on GoFundMe to cover their medical expenses. If you would like to contribute, you can go to this link: https://www.gofundme.com/help-russell...

Get well soon, Daryl and Russell. We're all supporting you.
