So things go from better to magnificent for race leader Eamonn Boland.
To elaborate further on our previous report, the Wexfordian has had his lead increaced by twenty seconds without having to do anything this morning.
A scrutinising of Boland's time cards from yesterday have revealed he was being given a time slower on one of the opening day stages than he actually achieved.
It gives him an advantage over Steve Hendy a second or two shy of two minutes.
Things just continue looking up and up for the Subaru speedster.
