What an end to the rally.
Solberg's team worked until 5:15 in the morning to fix his car. But he had five minutes to make up, and in an effort to make inroads into that gap, he overcooked it on the first stage of the day, and unfortunately ended up in a ditch.
That left the top five runners looking fairly stable in their positions. But the final stage was a mammoth 38 miles through Kielder Forest, the longest stage in a British Rally for over forty years.
With such an awesome final stage, you just had a feeling that things could easily change, and they did. At the final stage camera, 30 miles in, we watched McCormack go through, and we waited... and waited. Finally the second car came into view but it wasn't Sebastian Perez in the Stratos. Perez was all set to take second place, the best finish for the Stratos, both on the Roger Albert Clark or the RAC rally, but news filtered through that he was out.
McCormack took his fourth win, Cahan McCourt took second, and Jason Pritchard finished third.
1,200 miles covered in five days with 350 stage miles. Now that's what I call a rally. Fabulous.
