June 15th: Ankara to Istanbul
Not too much to say about today. The Ankara hotel coffee was the best we’ve had the whole rally. We had a beautiful regularity along a sheer cliff face that we did amazing on. By the way I guess I forgot to mention, a regularity is a time controlled section where you want to get a certain average speed. Sounds easy but it’s actually quite difficult. After that we drove down a foggy forest road into the outskirts of Istanbul.
We crossed the Bosporous to our hotel and enjoyed the lovely views of the city from a top the roof bar. We are finally in Europe! We have a rest day tomorrow and no car work to do so we’ll be exploring the city!
