Still both at fault though. They work together as a team, they fail as a team. I wish I could see the damn video and it wasn't washed out to find when he was calling the notes. But basically, the driver was coming into a turn waaaaaaaaaaay too hot and shouldn't have been without knowing what was going on. Co-driver called the first line way too fast, second line too slow and third line even slower without any sort of emphasis on the ! in time. If you look closer at the notes: 
You can see where they omitted A LOT of stuff from there it looks like. Co-driver was behind on the notes as well and didn't emphasize the caution fast approaching. Notes read Start _______ 100 ______ stay in ___ L3+ R5 into smcr 50 smcr 40 smcr ______rocks________ !L4 Also the co-driver actually called the 50 a 100. I don't see any sort of highlighting or emphasis on the ! either. I'm kind of surprised that something like this wouldn't have been mentioned by Wyatt as their team manager. But I love the co-driver comment at the end "Do you think we can get out of this?" when they're pretty much nose deep in a ditch. |

I wondered about that too. I think he might have been talking about just being able to get out of the car. If he meant car back on road

I'd agree, but still first rally for the codriver and as a driver taking a turn that hot without knowing whats coming up is pretty dangerous. |

I left my notes in the driver's car, but that section was insanely difficult to drive through. Very rough and slick.
A lot of stuff could be easily removed from those notes, but I will say they were probably the best set of Jemba notes I've seen in a long time. At times you could have removed any and all small crests in jemba (on brooklyn, as an example) but not at this event. We didn't remove as much as I thought we would. It has been a long time since I've highlighted notes. When you go fast, everything is important, so why make a caution stand out when a minus is just as important and can have just as big of an impact. If someone isn't confident of being able to stay on the notes, then highlighting (and a working odo) can help.
