Hello all,

We are competing in the Rally of Melbourne the coming weekend! We are Car 21 – the Bendigo Bank Subaru Liberty RS of Glen Raymond and Matt Raymond. Glen has a very exciting driving style, and this being our home event we are anticipating that he will be putting on a bit of a show. To get an idea of who we are, our team website is http://www.glenraymond.com

For this weekend we are running a small competition. We are looking for any videos etc that you may get of our car over the weekends competition.

Best of the weekend gets an exclusive team beanie

Come out on the weekend and watch the exciting sideways action that will be on display!

Thanks

Matt Raymond

We won't be there as it is the wrong end of the country for us. We did see you compete at Imbil earlier this year though. We were on the cutters long/short junction. You had some pretty good sideways action through there. I think between us there would be some footage of that round.

Keep up the good work and best of luck in this rally.

Hi guys,

Had a great weekend!
Started of strong and got even faster. As exciting as always, Glen is starting to show some serious pace. 6th on Acheron, and an extraordinary 5th outright down Ben Cairn. We were sideways again off the bitumen too

. Sitting 6th and 1st VRC at the final service with two

A cam seal that popped out at final service (An rare occurence, they normally just leak)and the service crew did a quick fix on it. But the oil kept leaking and after stage 7 we had to retire. We would have been 6th outright and 1st VRC on day 1, but still very happy.

Struggled a little on day 2 with the extreme wet, catching a car in stage and a slow flat. Still managed a 6th fastest on Blowhard. Had a blast, got to do Mt Slide (yeah!!!) and came in 7th outright for the day (and 1st VRC).

Had a ton of fun, and had everyone talking by the end of the weekend - noone expected a legacy to ever be punted that hard

A reminder that if you have any photos and video we would absolutely love to see it, and best gets a team beanie (and I'll throw in the full incar as well)

Please emal me at [email protected] so I can get in touch with you

Thanks

Matt

Forgot to say,

Thanks to the guy we met off the forum (sorry can't remember your name). It is cool to get a little encouragement. This is our first time around, and it is great to know people are spreading the word to keep an eye out for us. I hope we were entertaining!

And if you guys have anything from any of the visits we had around the country that would be awesome!
