What we have here is a short but oh-so-sweet clip from Bell in his Opel Kadett GSi. Mike Nicholson, Bell’s co-driver, is having a mighty hard time convincing Bell he knows where the course goes and the notes are accurate. This leads to brilliant one-liners like “oh Derek” and “you’ve got to keep it in the tracks Derek”. It’s funny to think that a serial Le Mans conqueror would need driver coaching, but as Bell was quoted as saying at a practice run before the main event, “it’s a camaraderie which you don’t get in car racing – I’m not used to having anybody sitting next to me telling me what to do, it's a totally different world for me”.
Sadly, a mechanical issue brought the duo’s rally to a premature end, but credit to Bell for giving it a go.
