No time through for Ingram yet on SS8... worrying.

E. Electrical issue, lost 4 mins but still going.

Sweet Lamb at full capacity for parking, for anyone thinking of making a late dash to that stage

Organisers have been forced to cancel SS19 & SS22 Arroch Hill 1/2 tomorrow (Leg 3 - Saturday)

Well that's my RAC done, I think. Did Walters Arena and Myherin in the end, as the latter's second run allowed you to see the top 30 in the light. Good days out with plenty of enthusiastic people to talk to on the stages. The RAC is an old school rally in many ways. I found the official car parks to be a bit of a sort yourselves out affair, while alternative access is surprisingly doable. I must say the best thing was being able to walk straight off the stage at Walters and into the active service park, on the way to the car park (the latter of which could have been better organised to accommodate more cars easily). I imagine the setup was the same at Sweet Lamb? It's a shame more rallies haven't done this where possible.

Something noticed by many on the stages, the Lancia Stratos looks great, sounds really nice and different from the rest, but you do expect it to be louder...

Great battle for the lead between Pryce and Solberg. I'd imagine the former will have the advantage as they head up north, where Oliver will be less familiar with the stages.

It was quite funny driving back along the A470, with every parking spot for miles taken up with trailers and trucks waiting to be loaded for the trip north.

Have they said why?

Good to see Pryce keeping Solberg in sight this morning. Hopefully he can get some more time back and see if the pressure tells.

Great battle too for 3rd with McCormack and Pritchard level on time after SS16 !!

Bollocks, Pryce stopped on SS17.

Shame the bulk of the top boys have had problems. I was hopeful at the start we would have a good battle for 5 days with Meeke, Solberg and Pryce and maybe a couple of the quick national lads just behind. Bit of a let down with all the mechanical failures too, nobody binned it, they’ve all broken down….can’t help feel that’s a bit poor overall.

No Escorts !
