I arrived in the Western Cape with bit more confidence than before. I had at least raced our Toyota GR Yaris at the iCam All Tar Rally the month before.



But as the name suggests, it was all on tar. I know tar. The Swartland Rally is all gravel. I do not know gravel.

Thursday was official shakedown. This would be my first taste of gravel and also my first run in our Toyota GR Yaris with a X Shift sequential box fitted to the car.
