Date:17/8/12
Day:1
Special Stage:SS6 Glendun (6.62 miles)

R1. Keith Cronin (IRL) / Marshall Clarke (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3T
A bit cautious. I got caught out toward the end of the stage with the rain.

R2. Tom Cave (GBR) / Craig Parry (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
The last km we struggled in the rain, but this could help us.

R3. Mark Donnelly (GBR) / Dai Roberts (GBR) - Renault Clio R3
The rain wasn't really a problem but the clutch might be...

R4. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Philip Pugh (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It's gone ok today. We're concentrating on our own thing.

R6. Guy Wilks (GBR) / David Moynihan (IRL) - Renault Twingo R2 Evo
We've enjoyed today. Not competitive but working well for improvements.

R5. Alastair Fisher (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
We were caught out a bit by the rain.

R9. Jonathan Greer (GBR) / Gordon Noble (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
There is lots of mud pulled out into the road.

R10. Osian Pryce (GBR) / Iestyn Williams (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
A really good day, we're getting stuck into it.

R8. Desi Henry (GBR) / Barry McNulty (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
I'm still annoyed by a puncture in Torr Head. Our rally is pretty much over.

R12. Jukka Korhonen (FIN) / Mikael Korhonen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R2
Very slippy. Everyone is going like a mad man!

R16. Callum Black (GBR) / Paul Wakely (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3T
Typical. I put slicks on and it starts raining!

R14. Matthew Cathcart (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
I had a moment slowing for some smoke. Turns out it was a farmers fire.

R23. Niko-Pekka Nieminen (FIN) / T Suominen (FIN) - Ford Fiesta R2
Not a good feeling and don't know why.

R21. Chris Ingram (GBR) / Stephen McAuley - Renault Twingo R2 Evo
I've got a small missfire which started toward the end of the stage.

R30. Arron Newby (GBR) / Martyn Taylor (GBR) - Skoda Fabia R2
Happy to get through the day. It's mileage and experience.

R25. Gethin Jones (GBR) / Kevin Devine (GBR) - Ford Fiesta ST
That was fun on slicks. There was lots of cuts, it's a bit agricultural!

R33. Alex Parpottas (GBR) / Chris Davies (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really hard on slick tyres. We have inters in the boot but had no time to change them.

R26. James Grint (GBR) / Craig Drew (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Today has been a bit of a 'mare but we're happier with the car and will push tomorrow.

R36. Garry Pearson (GBR) / Craig Wallace (GBR) - Renault Twingo R1
All ok, a steady run.

R37. Steve Rokland (NOR) / Tom Andre Haldammen (NOR) - Ford Fiesta R1
That was slippy!

R22. Ruary MacLeod (GBR) / Paul Beaton (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Really horrible on full slicks.

R32. James Ford (GBR) / Neil Coleman (GBR) - Citroen C2R2 Max
Took a time penalty to put wets on the front. It was really horrible and muddy in there. We took no risks. At the end of the day we're here for a laugh.
