So after a hectic week, my two stages of Round 4 are done, I still can run a 3rd Ninco track stage at the end depending on the well being of one of our hosts. However I will be checking to see if our next host has moved house yet and can run his Round whilst I am on holiday in Scotland.

The Combined results from Stages 1-7 are below

   

Dakar Chat
On the face of it nothing much has changed, certainly my round was beneficial to Andy P and BARacer, and others seemed to loose out but of course that's what we find with such a wide range of track layouts and types. But overall most of the leading positions have been maintained.

Ninco R1
Mike Scott's Bowler looking unbeatable with Chris Mitsubishi and Pip's Touareg 25 secs behind....mind you we said that last year.

SCX R2
Similarly once again Paul's Touareg is 13 secs ahead of Phil's Peugeot 405, well ahead of the rest of the others.

Lightweight Vehicles R3
My Odyssey is 16 secs ahead of MYST Porsche 959, but that Porsche is a very capable competitor, so don't feel that secure at the moment.

Heavyweight Vehicles R4
Well the AA van is 108 secs ahead of my Merc Truck, which on current form is going backwards 

Dakar Sprint R5
And Chris Landrover is 62 secs ahead of Mike's Porsche 911sc

So overall we have some fairly well established leaders, barring any mishaps in the closing stages.
