Murray, Freyja Prentice and Kate French also saw Great Britain take team silver be­ hind China.


Ian Oakey began the day’s stages in 6th overall, with Tommi benefitting from new power steering fitted for this rally. The pair were how­


ever lucky to get past the second stage, after fellow competitor Tom Delaney’s Suzuki Alto left the road and ploughed through a series of cones and tyres before slid­ ing onto another area of the course, just as Meadows was coming through. However, the Nissan Micra driver’s quick reactions meant they
