Sat morning and its Rally Mode for everyone….RT10 got off to a late start at the Cedar Hill and Bronte stages….while Powell and Higgins were battling for the lead, there was disaster as Dean Serrao’s WRC Subaru caught on fire on stage one and he could only watch as it burned right down to the shell….this and other run offs by competitors saw the cancellation of Stages 1, 5 and 6…. The Preysal Stage started at about 4:15pm….by now attrition had taken its toll and quite a few cars were permanently out of the Rally including one of the podium favourites Paul Bourne who retired with a hydraulics problem….Unable to run the planned 3 stages due to poor visibility the last stage was cancelled and Saturday ended with Powell/ Telfer holding on to a slim lead.
