Stages 5 and 6 brought their fair share of dramas with Mark Higgins putting his Subaru into a ditch in stage 5. Matti Rantanen also was sidelined when his Twingo reportedly wnet off the road. Keith Cronin was fastest in stage 5 and Craig Breen fastest in stage 6. Alastair Fisher was 2nd fastest in 5 and 3rd fastest in 6 behind Breen and Evans. Keith Cronin was 4th fastest on 6. Cronin has had 50s added on to his stage 1 time to bring his leading margin over Gwyndaf Evans down to 22s. Apparently the memory in the stage 1 clock has been downloaded and that showed up the discrepancy from last night.
Jarkko Nikara has moved into the lead of class 2 despite his Twingo clutch giving trouble. There is a hydraulic leak in the bell housing and the Asquith team will be unable to sort it out until after the rally. Robert Barrable has moved into the lead of the Citroen Racing Trophy contenders. Richard Sykes was leading but his C2R2 is reported in a ditch in the Glen Dhu stage. No times as yet for PG Andersson whose Fiesta was into the top 10.
