After having coffee, I sat at the
computer to check rally posts. It was a video call this time and John
immediately reassured me that, “First of all, Brett and I are okay”. That “First
of all” meant that a “second” piece of information was about to be revealed.
And indeed there was, but he asked me not to post anything about it yet.
At dinner, the organizers reported and confirmed
that there was a fatality involving a rally participant, but that no details
had yet been received. They asked all teams not to post anything about the
incident until the families were notified.
John promised he will be anticipating
and driving defensively. Although the rally continues, Time Trials were
cancelled for the next three days.

We offer our deepest sympathies and prayers for
the family and friends of Emma Wilkinson, who was tragically killed
in a motor accident. Here is today's rally report, which includes information about
the incident.
Here is a link, shared through ERA’s
page, of a collection of images by Russian photographer Andrew Kena. They were
taken early morning at the hotel and start in Tyumen. Andrew is the same
gentleman who was “struck” by the sight of the rally cars on the road. He said
he would send photos and here they are.
Today’s rally photos include one of Brett (#11) at the Bikers Museum.
Our loss is God's gain. By the sound of it, Emma will be the life and soul of the party in heaven.
