So a comfortable win by Solberg with no dramas despite very wet and slippery conditions.
Ruairi Bell the best of the rest (& the BRC win) whilst others had all kinds of troubles.
Special Stage's live coverage was pretty good. Here's their highlights:

Some good viewing spots there, Brenig perhaps? There was live streaming of the stage ends with Julian Porter too on youtube, obviously no action but was still interesting to see Solberg and the rest interviewed post stage
Yes, Brenig... and Penmachno.Quote:

Hopefully Oliver will get together a nice program for 23, with many nice experiences to build confidence.
I would give him a year in WRC2, and developing program for the new Puma, with a test centre in Sweden, keeping Petter busy, and letting Oliver to get on with rallies on his own!
Most of this year's top Championship contenders (Price, Cronin, Pritchard) didn't turn up unfortunately as Pryce had already won the title. They'd have kept him more honest, but I don't think they could have beaten him.Quote:

Didnt go at the weekend however the crowds looked pretty big for a British national event from the videos Ive seen, probably the biggest Ive seen all year. Not sure it was the Oliver effect or just an appetite to stand out in the rain! Interesting to see the crews using full tarmac suspension on the Friday night, log time since there has been a proper dual surface event in the BRC...
Looked a good turnout... and why not as it's the nearest thing we have to a (mini) Wales Rally GB with those stages.
Plus the awful weather, although classic, may even have put off a good few casuals and locals who might've attended otherwise.
