Folks I'm looking to get down to the services at the Kings Hall. Never called down to a service, is it just a case of park up, and dander in?

Just seen 4 ( what look like ) works rally cars heading out of Antrim towards the airport, sounded awesome.

Yeah Bogie stopped just down from where I was. Breen was flying, as was Kajto.

Qualifying was good. Botka got his DS3R5 well stuck in a ditch. Jeep tried to tow it out once the stage was stopped, ripped the towing eye out. Ended up with a manitou pulling it out by the roll cage.

Got a walk around service this evening. Steve Perez has brought over his Stratos and i literally spent 30mins walking around this thing. its awesome.

watched Oktan Motorsport repair Aleks Humar's 205 for a while too. Some head scratching before taking a sledge to the roof. I suppose thats what is needed when it was on its roof in a field in antrim a few hours ago. About 6 hours from lying upside down to being passed ready to rally, pretty damn impressive.

That Stratos is jaw dropping, I think it was over last year too - what a great spectacle.

@Paul RS 19:50 according to Belfast Live.

Does anyone have a map of Newtownards stage? Fancy a run up to it this evening.
