Gwyndaf Evans in the fabulous SEAT WRC continues to stretch his lead with another fastest time over stage four. Gwyndaf commenting at the stage finish "we were over cautious there, dead slow in places", but the Welshman was 1.3 seconds faster than the fast charging Derek McGarrity. Derek going really well in his Impreza but he was voicing the concern of many other drivers, as to how slippy the narrow tarmac tracks have become here at Lurgan Park.

Kenny McKinstry was at a loss as to a slightly slower time through stage four, but he is steadily climbing back up the leaderboard currently lying just outside the top ten on a total of 6.02.0. Gary White continues on his giant killing ways in his older Escort Cosworth and was actually faster than McGarrity through the last stage by 0.1 of a second.

Trevor Moore is another Escort Cosworth driver moving up the leaderboard and he is now harring Denis Biggerstaff in his usual 6R4 who holds a scant 0.8 of a second lead over the Glengormley car dealer. Daniel Doherty is still struggling to get to grips with his immaculate Impreza WRC, Daniel admitting to " I just can’t get the car round the squares, it is a wee bit of everything adding up to a whole lot of nothing". Peader Hurson has certainly got to grips with his new Celica, though he thinks he lost a couple of seconds in stage four with a trip onto the grass.

Tipperary driver Roy White with Motorsport News Rally’s editor Jim Holder alongside has changed the front suspension settings on the Porsche and proclaimed himself much happier with the braking and turn in of the German machine. Richard Hogg has put his GpN Lancer off the road and into retirement on stage four, the crew are reportedly uninjured. In the GpN race Neil Simpson leads the category by just over a second from Raymond Johnston both in Lancers. Johnston led the category earlier but was caught without the right tyres for stage 3.
