Drivers finding why the CoI is so special:
Kajto - SS2 'Best tarmac stage in my life !'
Breen - 'This is the best road in the world, you cannot find anything like it.'

Seems Craig agrees with him.......
There is a lot of standing water, mud and other surprises on Stage 2, which is making it very difficult for the drivers. Breen fastest in those conditions so far. He is the new leader of the rally.
Lukyanuk with broken driveshaft.. :(
Great to see so many British and Irish flags on an International rally !

REALLY wet ...

That's because Kajto went off on the second corner of the stage. He says that the stage is very slippery (but beautiful).Quote:

Think I'll start supporting the Modern Tyres team of Alastair Fisher ! ;)
EDIT - Fisher crashed out on SS3.. crew ok, car not too bad but out for today. Maybe his thoughts were elsewhere...

My god Bergkvist is blindingly fast on tarmac !
Yes, it's a shame. I was impressed with his stage times. Very good times for the first time in a new car...Quote:

Thank you! Great times from Breen and Kajto! :)

Just "climbed" down from Kaprun glacier to follow the action in Northern Ireland. I feel sorry for Consani, he was doing great job. Also pity we lost Fisher. Otherwise it's nice to see so many locals on top! Juniors are mad as always :p And finally from a Czech point of view I'm happy with times of Tarabus. I really like this guy and he is doing well in his first Irish start :)
Five Irish drivers in the Top 6 now... who said the local drivers are slow here ? ;)
given the pathetic international competition it was expected....Quote:

Nonsence to compare times, high wind emat roads were drying fast but showers meant they often got wet again, road conditions were changing all the time and to compare cars running over an hour apart means nothing today.Quote:

Lukyanuk with steep learning curve on tarmac showing great times now.
Interesting, how much time did Lukjanuk, Tarabus and Kajto gain on local drivers on just 3.06 km!
What happened to Mattias Adielsson in SS5 :confused:
Gutted the Porsche died after the start of the stage... :(
