Wow! I can't believe my eyes: 10 C3 Rally2 on entrylist of next week West Cork Rally(second round of irish tarmac championship)! :eek:
Desi Henry among the Citroën drivers for the first time :D

Sign of the times with the Fiesta almost being a minority car at the pointy end now. C3's have come from nowhere though TBH!Quote:

In a one off drive, he gelled with the car instantly – challenging the established BRC frontrunners at the time.Quote:

Surprised they’re not just using the WRC-2 liveryQuote:

Matt Edwards has been helping James Williams prepare and said in a podcast he may be working with MSport on developing the Fiesta Rally2.

Looks like a very quickly re-liveried test car
Hearing suggestions SS1 has been pulled as the BRC crews couldnt get access to recce.
Yep, long very steep hill up to the start of SS1 so not surprised.Quote:

Finally testing negative but a bit wiped out so will only be watching the Special Stage coverage sadly
First 3 stages cancelled..5 remaining 40 milesQuote:

It’s a pity the second runs through Grizedale had already been cancelled. Two runs through Greystoke and both Grizedales would have been a few more much needed stage kms, assuming all those forests are in useable condition. Also assuming un-cancelling stages is unviable :D
Special Stage satellite organised for Greystoke due to lack of mobile signal.
I can see a fairly high chance that Grizedale won’t run either, all depends what the ice looks like in the morning. Sleepless night for the organisers I bet.
Many many many morons on the MW facebook page…
“Ever heard of the Snowman Rally?” is my favourite. Apparently every year they run on snow tyres…Quote:

Nice coverage from Greystoke, switching between Special Stage and Sideways Media.
James Williams fastest on the opener !
No-one covering Grizedale ? :(
Looks like Cronin was held up behind Serderidis for several miles in SS5. SS6 yet to start due to delegate concerned about too many spectators.
Edit: started 25 mins late.
Cronin didn't mention this at the stage end interview... just said it was his first drive in 6 months so took it easy on the icy conditions.Quote:

Said he did catch him on one stage.
Serderidis spun 3 times on the Grizedale stages !
Williams spun and punctured too. :(
Williams and Ginley both with punctures SS6
No SS5 results yet....Quote:

results coming through now showing Fourmaux losing 6.5 mins to Cronin, surely must be a mistake?
Yep... results have been corrected and Fourmaux leads Cronin by 28.4s. But his time may be amended as he was held up.
It's all a bit too chaotic to enjoy with stages cancelled and delayed and top drivers being held up and getting punctures.
Don't think they can amend his time due to being held up, this isn't the WRC....
Never seen it done before.
BRC Twitter quoted
"Cronin may get some time back after time spent behind the Puma WRC."
Fourmaux took the win and a great time on Greystoke 2.
Cronin confirms he didnt get the time back.
What happened on Race and Rally Stages event(northern Ireland) :confused:
No results for SS5 and 6 yest :mark:
Up to SS4, Jonny Greer is leading in front of Derek McGarrity and Desi Henry...
Edit: OK, results are back...Greer won in front of Gareth Sayers and McGarrity
Sideways Media interview with Malcolm Wilson:
https://youtu.be/ffQ3seXHvH4
Sounds like Fourmaux will be contesting the BRC not just the MWR, or at least Malcolm Wilson had plenty of time to deny that was the case :D
