| Date: | 17/8/12 |
| Day: | 1 |
| Special Stage: | SS4 Knockboy (7.95 miles) |
R1. Keith Cronin (IRL) / Marshall Clarke (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3T
A lot happier with the right tyres. I'm going as quick as I need to but there is more left.
R2. Tom Cave (GBR) / Craig Parry (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Much better, I'm smiling now. The setup is good but I still lack confidence on bumps.
R4. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Philip Pugh (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It's cleaned up in there so not as slippy.
R5. Alastair Fisher (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It felt better. A bigger push with more grip.
R6. Guy Wilks (GBR) / David Moynihan (IRL) - Renault Twingo R2 Evo
No problems on right tyres. We only pushed on safer bits.
R8. Desi Henry (GBR) / Barry McNulty (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Steady enough, no dramas
R10. Osian Pryce (GBR) / Iestyn Williams (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Very good. Much better with setup changes.
R12. Jukka Korhonen (FIN) / Mikael Korhonen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R2
No mistakes, I'm happy with my driving.
R14. Matthew Cathcart (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
I enjoyed it much more than the first run. I made a bit of a mistake towards the end.
R21. Chris Ingram (GBR) / Stephen McAuley - Renault Twingo R2 Evo
Best stage so far! I must thank Renault for advice on the setup.
R23. Niko-Pekka Nieminen (FIN) / T Suominen (FIN) - Ford Fiesta R2
Better than last time but still too slow.
R25. Gethin Jones (GBR) / Kevin Devine (GBR) - Ford Fiesta ST
I'm driving the car better, but took a safe choice with the tyres.
R26. James Grint (GBR) / Craig Drew (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Much better now the damper settings have been changed and we're on slicks so it feels we are attached to the steering wheel now.
R30. Arron Newby (GBR) / Martyn Taylor (GBR) - Skoda Fabia R2
Better - mint really!
R33. Alex Parpottas (GBR) / Chris Davies (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
The same as last time, we're covered if it rains as we have two spare inters.
R32. James Ford (GBR) / Neil Coleman (GBR) - Citroen C2R2 Max
Getting there, still not on the right tyres though.
R36. Garry Pearson (GBR) / Craig Wallace (GBR) - Renault Twingo R1
I'm trying a wee bit harder - having some more fun.
R37. Steve Rokland (NOR) / Tom Andre Haldammen (NOR) - Ford Fiesta R1
Still fun, really nice car to drive.
R22. Ruary MacLeod (GBR) / Paul Beaton (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
I went off on SS3 and got beached but no damage. On SS4 I messed up the same bend as I did the first time around there!
