| oil leakage | ||||||
| Second quickest but there's a strong smell of burning oil coming from Craig's Citroen and he looks concerned. What's wrong? "I'll find out in a minute." Is it a problem? "Could be..." Craig drives away from the control to investigate. | ||||||
| He's still going. The oil leak was traced to the gearbox (gearbox housing damaged after a heavy landing ) - not the engine. | ||||||

| "Tough going. Incredibly soft and sandy. It's a bucket and shovel you need in here, not a rally car. It's been a difficult weekend. We struggled for pace in some places and were good in others. We need to work on consistency." | ||||||
