Funny they say Cronin was "sadly hampered when they caught another car and couldn't pass them..." but no sight or mention of the Puma.

Mikie Galvin said him and Cronin were stuck behind the Puma of Serderidis for about 5 miles in Grizedale !

Maybe the time loss wasn't enough to lose the rally, but without it who knows if they could've put pressure on Fourmaux to cause a mistake..

He'd have needed to be 25 seconds quicker over the other stages to get near Fourmaux even after ignoring the time lost behind Serderidis.

He'd have needed to be 25 seconds quicker over the other stages to get near Fourmaux even after ignoring the time lost behind Serderidis.

But he would've been closer before the final Greystoke stages which Fourmaux knew very well and already had an advantage.

It may not have affected the result here but I'm saying that it easily could've done. And a cynic might say that M-Sport had planned it on their 'home event''.

Why was Serderidis seeded ahead of a 4× BRC Champion ?

Guess that was due to FIA seeding however maybe a "gentlemans" agreement over running order could have been reached although hindsight is a wonderful thing. Think its a bit conspiracy theory to suggest they placed Jourdan ahead of Keith but anything can happen in rallying and it would only have taken the Polo to pick up a puncture and it would have been irrelevant. I'm still doubtful that Adrien will start every round so things should level out anyway regardless of him playing his joker in Cumbria.

Entry list for the RAC Rally is due to be published this weekend.

If half the names we’ve heard whispered come true it’s going to be an unbelievable event !

Even though 4 wheel drive cars cant claim the overall title it would be amazing to see Latvala out in his Celica GT4

Josh Moffett leads into Day 2.

The highest Fords are lead by... Mk2 Escorts !

The win goes to Josh but a great day 2 by Barrable put him up to 2nd with bravery and better tyres in the wet. Evans 3rd.

So the RAC provisional entry list is out and its the TBAs that will be of most interest/speculation in the coming months I guess..

I'm not a great fan of keeping back names, makes the rest look a bit like also-rans. Don't get me wrong, it'll be great if there are 6 additional big names, but I'll be interesting to see how their reveals are managed. That is of course if these are 'names', as there'll be plenty disappointed if this isn't the case or it's a BRC style PR exercise that can't deliver... Looks good so far anyway!
