Stage 1 was a cautious start as I have never been on the Michelin full wet tyres before and a 720 degree spin on the long and fast straight dropped us down to 11th place after this stage. Stage 2 was a lot better as the confidence grew in the tyres, we collected a puncture 100 meters from the finish but still took the fastest stage time which moved us up to third overall. Stage 3 was another good stage where we set the fastest stage time again moving us up to 1st over all. Stage 4 was another fastest stage time extending our lead. We started stage 5 after a midday break we were undecided on what tyres to use as the rain has stopped and the roads were starting to clean but still held a lot of water in places. We went back out on the wets and struggled with under steer on the softer tyres resulting in a overshoot and therefore a drop in time. Stage 6 we made the mistake of staying on the same tyres ending up with two overshoots and more dropped time resulting in our lead being shortened to 17 seconds. Stage 7 we changed to Dunlop intermediates and put in a fastest stage time. On stage 8 we set another fastest stage time resulting in the win by 29 seconds overall. We also collected top Welsh Championship points extending the lead.
We were very happy with the result in the wet conditions.
A big thank you to Barrie Jenkins, Karl Davies, Chris Davies and John Curzon. Another top job done by Kath. We would also like to thank JMS Photography and John Curzon for the photographs.I would also like to thank Pembrokeshire Motor Club for an excellent event despite the conditions.
