STAGE FLASH

Date:28/4/12
Day:2
Special Stage:SS9 Pundershaw 1 (8.07 miles)

4. Jarkko Nikara / Petri Nikara - Citroen DS3
That was ok, a close fight, we had a few small moments

5. Elfyn Evans / Andrew Edwards - Ford Fiesta R2
All ok, brakes are good now.

1. Keith Cronin / Marshall Clarke - Citroen DS3 R3T
We changed the setup to help in slower corners, but that makes it twitchy on the fast stuff.

12. Alastair Fisher / Daniel Barritt - Ford Fiesta R2
We sorted the brake seizing problem, there was a rock in the calliper!

2. Mark Donnelly / Dai Roberts - Renault Clio R3
Really happy with pace now, too far behind the top two but a podium would be brilliant.

11. Jussi Kumpumaki / Marko Salminen - Ford Fiesta R2
Good, nice fast stage. Two massive fifth gear moments though!

9. Jukka Korhonen / Mikael Korhonen - Skoda Fabia R2
One of my favourite stages that one, nice and fast!

14. Peter Taylor / Andrew Roughead - Renault Clio R3T
It was alright toward the end but I seemed to be loosing time.

3. Tom Cave / Craig Parry - Citroen DS3
Really fast stage, my confidence is coming back not but I'm having an off day I think.

8. Jonathan Greer / Gordon Noble - Citroen DS3 R3T
Nice stage, I had a much better run in there than I did on the last stage.

22. Niko-Pekka Nieminen / Pasi Haataja - Ford Fiesta R2
That was fast!

24. Ruary MacLeod / Paul Beaton - Ford Fiesta R2
That was better than the last stage, but still not brilliant.

20. Gethin Jones / Kevin Devine - Ford Fiesta ST
Picked up a tyre problem on the last stage, so had to be careful in there.

6. Desi Henry / Niall Burns - Citroen DS3 R3T
We are happy enough, even with an average pace.

26. Matt Cotton / Glyn Thomas - Ford Fiesta ST
Very bitty with different rhythms needed through the stage.

27. Garry Pearson / Craig Wallace - Renault Twingo R1
Puncture in the last one so steady as no spare.

29. Arron Newby / Julian Wilkinson - Skoda Fabia R2
Big balls required for that one!

23. Chris Ingram / Joe Cruttenden - Renault Twingo R2
Best stage of the rally so far, felt really good!

15. James Grint / Phil Clarke - Citroen DS3 R3T
What a stage, really quick in there. Had a small moment but no dramas.

28. Steve Rokland / Kim Hjalmarsen - Ford Fiesta
That was good, we only had one run through on the recce so wasn't perfect.
