 Things are looking up for Jeff Judd. That's Brian Stokes parked up after the start of Special Stage 8 with electrical problems. So Judd is first on the road with Stokes powerless to stop him. But the temptation to lead the rally is too great and Judd has a moment midway through the stage. Let off for the warning, the Black BDG escort powers on toward the finish at an astonishingly quick pace for just the second day of the 8-day marathon. Yeah, a bit silly, but just a crown of the road dropped off and it turned out we've got seize frontstructs. That maybe didn't help with turning, so mixture of that and over at Zerbritz. Seized shocks or not, if it had to happen it couldn't have happened in a better place. The guy emerging from the dust handing out the instructions is Gary Cliff. Judd's crew chief who came here to spend time between services. Cliff immediately slips into work mode and takes control of the situation. Conscious the pair must not accept outside help. I just noticed that the wheel was actually completely smashed. So I'm trying to get Jeff to back back as we can see so we can get it changed rather than do some damage through the other road driving it out. As most drivers never go driving it out, so yeah, I'm quite pleased that we're there really.
