Cheers steve any idea if times for stages ? I also hope burty gets it together in time has to be one of the best sounding cars in modern rallying . but for me its a bda of full tilt or a proper 6r4 wooo!! just hits the spot

[306 Cosworth]

AB should be there barring any last minute disasters :D

[Rallyst3ve]

Had a good day in Bringewood start of the stage was really narrow so went further in but some good places there :D

Burton went out with a fire on SS4 dont know how bad :( :(
Also heard that Perez went off after the end of stage 5 at flying finish and its a big recovery job :D

Try and get a video up soon but got to get ready for McRae Gathering!

As for the Peugeot Cosworth it was an in car fire :eek: so was put out pretty quickly so not much damage ;)

[Allyc85]

Great vid Steve, just subscribed to your work :)

Glad to hear the damage wasnt too bad/ you can never be sure what to expect when you hear fire is involved.

How do you know about that??

How do you know about that??


I dont for sure but its one of his planned events this year and the car should be ready so i hope he does. But with the Trackrod the following weekend which is really important for the Ancro championship i dont know whether he would want to enter the Plains and risk damaging the car.
