I understand the organiser's public position and, as opposed to what the headline suggests, I hope that all involved in the event act on the day in line with what they're quoted as saying the issue is. No spectating on MoD land, that's entirely fair enough. I know why they've taken the public position they have and I'll comment more fully on that after the event, once we've seen how Saturday plays out.

SS1 Olly Mellors had massive off, big roll.

Radio car is reporting that one is going to hospital for a check up but hopefully a precaution. The car landed very heavy on the nose and rolled.

Great battle at the front on the first loop. Still all to play for.

Not very impressed with the coverage on FB which keeps buffering for me. Nice drone footage though.

I always prefer You Tube for motorsport streaming coverage instead of Facebook.... I thought the drone coverage was decent.

No sign of Matt Wilson on the afternoon loop. Showing stopped on a road section on the tracker.

E - his times have come up now, strange.

E2 - Wilson give a 1min road penalty.

So Matt Edwards held on for the win by 5s over Tom Cave, with Osian Pryce at 12s.

Great close battle throughout by these three and an impressive win by Edwards in his first gravel rally in the Polo R5.
