STAGE FLASH

Date:24/3/12
Day:2
Special Stage:SS7 Dyfi Main 2 (8.48 miles)

1. Elfyn Evans / Andrew Edwards - Ford Fiesta R2
Cleaner surface than first run. I was being careful on my tyres. It was a bit loose in places

28. Jonathan Greer / Damien Connelly - Citroen DS3
A lot more grip than first run, but it was a bit messy in places. Better than my first run.

3. Jarkko Nikara / Petri Nikara - Citroen DS3
We have a problem with our car shaking. No puncture we're not sure what is wrong.

4. Desi Henry / Niall Burns - Citroen DS3 R3
A wee bit better than last time. I'm trying to regain time from earlier as I want to get decent points

5. Osian Pryce / Iestyn Williams - Citroen DS3
Catching Desi in the stage, but we lost some time toward the end. The car handling is sorted, just the driver now!

6. Tom Cave / Craig Parry - Citroen DS3
That wen't well, clean run. 12 seconds faster than first time.

7. Jukka Korhonen / Mikael Korhonen - Skoda Fabia R2
Better now, a good feeling in the car

30. Keith Cronin / Marshall Clarke - Citroen DS3 R3T
I had a slight overshoot at the start of the stage. I'm enjoying the car but I would prefer a harder tyre.

29. Egon Kaur / Erik Lepikson - Ford Fiesta R2
It's better now that I can use the brakes as I should be! I'm just getting the confidence back.

10. Vincent Dubert / Stephane Rey - Citroen DS3
I'm happy, a much better second run, the feeling is better.

11. Peter Taylor / Andrew Roughead - Renault Clio R3
A bit better, I'm still struggling with the notes. On for a big push!

12. Matthew Cathcart / James Morgan - Ford Fiesta R2
I had a puncture on the third corner of the stage, we dropped loads of time.

14. Jack Rowe / James Aldridge - Ford Fiesta R2
Still no second gear, I'm struggling to drive the slower sections.

15. Niko-Pekka Nieminen / Pasi Haataja - Ford Fiesta R2
Very good except for the soft brake pedal

18. James Grint / Craig Drew - Citroen DS3
We're picking up pace, getting better rhythm and confidence

19. Chris Ingram / Joe Cruttenden - Renault Twingo R2
Really good, learning the car on every stage, I just need the times

20. Steve Rokland / Dag Nordstrand - Ford Fiesta
Clean run, getting good speed

21. Alex Parpottas / Chris Davies - Ford Fiesta R2
So far it's been good. Annoyed at nominal times in a previous stage. It cost us places.

22. Gethin Jones / Kevin Devine - Ford Fiesta ST
Much better, the ladies blouse has gone and I remember what these pedals do now!

23. Nick Allen / Andy Bull - Renault Twingo
I was going better, but got a missfire higher up the rev range, I've got to short shift to miss it.

24. Matt Cotton / Glyn Thomas - Ford Fiesta ST
Two seconds slower than first run, I think I'm overdriving it. I need to tidy up.

27. Garry Pearson / Craig Wallace - Renault Twingo R1
Rear left wheel bent, the car stepped out and hit a load of logs. I'm not sure if we can carry on.

25. Christian South / Tomas Whittle - Citroen C2 Max
That was ok, but just getting in from our previous incident.
