So who's going? Which stages are you going to? And what's your predicted top 3?

For us its Myherin, Dyfnant and Brenig.

And it Ogier will want to make up for his cock up in Spain, with Mikkelsen 2nd and Meeke 3rd.

Can't wait!

Sweet Lamb is great as you can see loads from one spot. The only downer is they have reduced the size of the jumps for safety reasons!! Hafren is a proper forest stage, but I am yet to visit it.

Shame about Skoda, the Fabia is a great looking car. I see Henning Solberg has also pulled his entry

[Allyc85]

Good luck!

I see the national seems to run quite close to the main field this year, not a huge amount of time to move around!

[Allyc85]

Yea I'm not rushing around either. I did that in Sardinia so I'm quite happy to mooch around and take it easy!

There are some beautiful views on Myherin. This is east of the car parks, I think around about 25-30 minutes walk..

No shakedown so far for Evans, whos car has some problems.

Mikkelsen also not taking part due to illness, should be ok to start tomorrow.

edit: final times..

Great day on Myherin, Ogier and Meeke looked a class above the others. Shame about Latvala and Neuville, it's never a surprise to hear they have gone off though!

Got away with the weather today, don't think we will on Dyfnant tomorrow!

After the top few went through Myherin 2 loads of oxygen thieves started leaving, walking down the stage around a blind corner. Nuts!

[Allyc85]

Talking of fireworks there has been loads of firecrackers being let off, but not one cheer. Get the hint chaps!

Today we were on Dyfnant, but most of the way through the Nationals we gave up as the drenching got too much! We were far from the only ones it seems! We heard Neuville crash, but didn't see it. Not the first time he has done that to me!

It looked great in those colours, but even by group N standards it sounded awful. Really flat and boring! Unlike the new R5 Mirage which is loud, pops n bangs and belches flames!

Brilliant drive by Meeke under pressure and in horrible conditions. He seems to have added some consistency to his driving and is picking up solid results just by keeping it on the road! Now we just have to wait and see if Citroen chooses WTCC or WRC.

We did Brenig today, but the wind and rain was bloody awful, so we left after the first run, taking the scenic route down through Wales.

Will add a couple pics soon, but I didn't take many in the end.
