Stages 1-4 I had medium hankooks on the front with a damp cut and soft michelin inters on the back
Then from 5 onwards I put some old medium dunlops on the front as any chance of a good result had gone after I accidentally did an extra lap so got a stage maximum. 3 sisters wrecks tyres so I just...
Its the RAC rally (Roger Albert clark) which is a historic rally based on the original RAC rally which was the UK round of the world rally championship back in the day.

I only ever run winter tyres on the vectra. Such a benefit in the wet especially when braking.
17" and pay 120 a pair for Michelin with 7mm left on them.

I had a guest pass from hyundai so went to Dyfi for both runs and Dyfnant for the evening run on Saturday.
My other claim to fame is that Gus's codriver Craig navved for me on a road rally 19yrs ago!
Diff was working fine, some serious loading going onto the shafts when it dried out and hitting the kerbs stressed them more resulting in the inner cv on the long shaft pulling out a bit and side loading onto the gearbox out drive shaft snapping it off.
Full rebuild required.
It was great fun apart from me doing an extra lap by mistake on stage 2 we set some competitive times. Then at the end of stage 10 the long drive shaft let go and took out the outboard shaft on the gearbox. Game over. Gutted.

Been on it again today, cage is now bolted in except for the doorways.
Need to change glove box door as that was cut down for the last cage, and secure the fuse box/Uch etc which due to time constraints will be a temporary thing. Bolt seats etc back in. Also need a new battery tomorrow as my...
@shiftspark I will be there on Sunday, I just need to finish profiling the dash round the new cage and bolt seats etc back in.
Seeded entry isn't up yet as entry doesn't close until tomorrow but there's an unseeded entry list on the wigan motor club site.
No I got them direct from HRX after doing a deal for seats, harnesses and side mounts with them at last year's Autosport show. Bryn has only started dealing them this year.
