Coleman in cruise control
Things are definitely drying up out on the stages , and the cars are heating up as the first 4 cars have been under 6 minutes for the stage as where only Coleman was on the first time around. Having said that, he has just bettered his time on SS1 by nearly 5 seconds and has stretched his lead to around 20 seconds from Daniel Cronin. Cronin’s improvement on his SS1 time however has put a bit more in the gap between himself and Ryan McHugh. There’s no change in the next four places with John Warren, Simon Reid, Chris Armstrong and Adrian Hetherington all keeping their places in the top 10. James Ford and Steve Wood are still on stage, we’ll see how the top 10 looks like in a few minute.
