STAGE FLASH

Date:18/8/12
Day:2
Special Stage:SS9 Lisnamuck (6.7 miles)

R1. Keith Cronin (IRL) / Marshall Clarke (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3T
Pulled the rear of bumper off. It's a bit greasy and it just stepped out on me.

R4. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Philip Pugh (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
I think we have the right tyres with cut slicks.

R8. Desi Henry (GBR) / Barry McNulty (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Massive spin! We got stuck and dropped a load of time.

R10. Osian Pryce (GBR) / Iestyn Williams (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Wrong tyres on rear, maybe I'm too cautious.

R2. Tom Cave (GBR) / Craig Parry (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Steady run on inters. We think it's wet on the next stage.

R6. Guy Wilks (GBR) / David Moynihan (IRL) - Renault Twingo R2 Evo
All tricky. Brakes are fixed and we took a safe choice on tyres.

R12. Jukka Korhonen (FIN) / Mikael Korhonen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R2
Really careful. No confidence on stage.

R14. Matthew Cathcart (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Enjoyable stage, still damp under the trees.

R16. Callum Black (GBR) / Paul Wakely (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3T
Safe option on inters. Slicks would have been better.

R5. Alastair Fisher (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Still greasy in places but a safe run.

R30. Arron Newby (GBR) / Martyn Taylor (GBR) - Skoda Fabia R2
Nice stage that, everything is good.

R33. Alex Parpottas (GBR) / Chris Davies (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
We clipped a gate in the last stage where Gethin went off.

R32. James Ford (GBR) / Neil Coleman (GBR) - Citroen C2R2 Max
Big spin in fourth, clipped a rock and we may have damaged the suspension.

R22. Ruary MacLeod (GBR) / Paul Beaton (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Happier that it's drying, we're looking forward to the next one.

R26. James Grint (GBR) / Craig Drew (GBR) - Citroen DS3 R3
Back on slicks, the car feels so much better!

R23. Niko-Pekka Nieminen (FIN) / T Suominen (FIN) - Ford Fiesta R2
[Had an off on flying finish, continued without front bumper]
