What you need to know:
- As has been in the norm, security is number one priority for the competition’s organisers and the 2024 event is no different
- At the service park, everything was up and running with a neat looking media centre giving the sports journalist the ambience they need to file their daily copies with little distraction
- At the service park, the competing team crew members are busy putting final touches on the throaty machines ready for the Thursday event
Simon Peshi is stationed at the main entrance of the Wildlife Service Training institute- the nerve centre of the World Rally Championship (WRC).
The security marshal wears a stern look, before ushering in only authorised personnel to the event’s highly guarded area. He is under strict instruction to scrutinise all the vehicles with mean-looking elite officers keeping guard.
