Day:2
Special Stage:SS3 Bewshaugh 1 (8.12 miles)

4. Jarkko Nikara / Petri Nikara - Citroen DS3
I couldn't find the rythum. The rear is sliding all over the place.

5. Elfyn Evans / Andrew Edwards - Ford Fiesta R2
I'm struggling with the rear, it's very loose. We need to see if we can fix it.

1. Keith Cronin / Marshall Clarke - Citroen DS3 R3T
Still loose at rear, but happy to be faster than Nikara

12. Alastair Fisher / Daniel Barritt - Ford Fiesta R2
Brakes still don't feel right - it doesn't balance.

2. Mark Donnelly / Dai Roberts - Renault Clio R3
I'm still gaining confidence but happy with that.

11. Jussi Kumpumaki / Marko Salminen - Ford Fiesta R2
Good clean stage, no moments.

9. Jukka Korhonen / Mikael Korhonen - Skoda Fabia R2
The setup feels better but I have no grip on the rear.

14. Peter Taylor / Andrew Roughead - Renault Clio R3T
The exhaust has broken, I can't hear a thing!

3. Tom Cave / Craig Parry - Citroen DS3
I'm much happier this morning, the setup is much better. the suspension was very wrong last night.

8. Jonathan Greer / Gordon Noble - Citroen DS3 R3T
Very slippy, a few moments we could have done without.

22. Niko-Pekka Nieminen / Pasi Haataja - Ford Fiesta R2
We went slowly, it was very slippy.

28. Steve Rokland / Kim Hjalmarsen - Ford Fiesta
Tricky stage but was ok.

18. Alex Parpottas / Chris Davies - Ford Fiesta R2
Having gearbox problems, it won't select the gear that I want.

7. Osian Pryce / Iestyn Williams - Citroen DS3 R3T
I'm driving like my grandma. I need to find some confidence.

24. Ruary MacLeod / Paul Beaton - Ford Fiesta R2
A bit messy at the start, I'm missing apexes and running off line but getting better toward the end.

20. Gethin Jones / Kevin Devine - Ford Fiesta ST
That was alright, I had my pills this morning and there is still more to come!

26. Matt Cotton / Glyn Thomas - Ford Fiesta ST
Erm, no rhythm really. I can't find the balance.

6. Desi Henry / Niall Burns - Citroen DS3 R3T
That was ok, a few dodgy moments within myself not the car.

27. Garry Pearson / Craig Wallace - Renault Twingo R1
A bit more confidence in the car, we're still bouncing about a bit though.

29. Arron Newby / Julian Wilkinson - Skoda Fabia R2
That was a good stage, the car all felt ok.

23. Chris Ingram / Joe Cruttenden - Renault Twingo R2
The car is not handling on the rough, but fine on the fast bits. Will look at setup for next loop.

15. James Grint / Phil Clarke - Citroen DS3 R3T
Much more cautious than last night. We're out of the race so just going for stage miles and increase in pace.

25. Nick Allen / Andy Bull - Renault Twingo
[stopped at chicane with mechanical problem]
