Rally hits Wind, Rain and Fog!!

Welsh hills give sting in tail for world's leading rally drivers

After a week of reasonable weather the bad weather that has made the Wales Rally GB's reputation returned to haunt the drivers on Day one of 2007. Who will take the title and the drivers championship will most likely be decided by the weather with the Met Office promising worse for the final days.

Clyne Farm had five crews staying in their self catering cottages. Among them TV and radio journalists Tony Jardine and Maurice Hamilton whose clean and tidy Ford Focus is seen outside their cottage. New Zealander Haydon Paddon's Black Lance Evo avoided the horses at Clyne Farm but hit a rock on Stage One and had to pull out but was back in the event on Day Two only to crash out on Day Three.

Veteran  New Zealander Brian Green continues making progress in his white Lancer which was prepared in a makeshift service area at Clyne Farm. Matt Beebe looks to have his British title sewn up. George Thomas aims to finish the event in his Citroen.
