Wales Rally GB officially got underway with a glorious ceremonial celebration at Conwy Castle this evening (14 November) before newly crowned WRC champion Sébastien Ogier stamped his authority on the event by setting the pace after the opening three stages.

The Frenchman led his VW team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala on stages one and two, before M-Sport’s Thierry Neuville topped the final stage to set up an enthralling three-way battle at the top of the standings.

After lasers and rally images had been projected on to the medieval castle walls in the picturesque Conwy Quay in front of a huge crowd, the scene was finally set for the world’s finest rally drivers to fire off into the legendary Welsh forest in complete darkness, with the leading cars being flagged away by Minister for Culture and Sport, John Griffiths.

Volkswagen Motorsport immediately laid down a marker on the opening 6.95km Gwydyr stage, with Latvala the first driver to take to the dark and damp conditions. Targeting a hat-trick of Wales Rally GB victories this weekend, the Finn set a benchmark time of 4:44.4s, which his team-mate Ogier immediately bettered by just 1.3s.

The only other driver who seemed able to cope with the early pace of the lead duo was the fellow Volkswagen Polo R WRC of Andreas Mikkelsen. The Norwegian set the quickest time of all on the opening split and was only narrowly down on his stable-mates after the second sector. He lost time late on, however, and eventually dropped behind the Qatar World Rally Team Ford of Neuville.

The other Fords of Mads Østberg and Evgeny Novikov followed in the times but there was drama further down the order when the final WRC runner Michal Solowow slid off the road, before his Ford Fiesta WRC was collected by the WRC2 machine of Yazeed Al Rajhi.

Ogier edged out a further advantage on the 9.28km stage two, which horseshoes its way through the Penmachno valley. Latvala kept him honest, however, as he completed the section just 0.9s shy of his team-mate, with Neuville a further second back.

“It’s a nice battle already between Seb and I,” said Latvala. “It’s not easy – in the places where it’s wet and muddy I don’t quite have the confidence yet.”

The top three runners were separated by less than four seconds but the gap back to the chasing pack had already increased to more than 12s. The Citroën of Mikko Hirvonen was the best of the rest as both he and Østberg leapfrogged Mikkelsen, despite the latter suffering with persisting gear problems.

If Volkswagen thought it was set to have it all its own way on day one then Neuville had other ideas, responding in fine style on Thursday’s final stage. The Belgian beautifully weaved his way through the 7.52km of Clocaenog Forest to set the fastest time and jump ahead of Latvala in the overall standings in the process – the lead trio separated by just five seconds.

Hirvonen remains in touch after an impressive late run in his Citroën DS3 WRC, whilst Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team driver Østberg resisted the challenge from Mikkelsen to maintain fifth.

Robert Kubica swapped positions with Russian Novikov throughout the evening, with the Pole in a brilliant seventh after completing his first day, well night, in a full-blown WRC car without incident. “It’s going okay,” said Kubica. “Everything is new for us. I have no experience of these conditions – at least in the day I will be able to see!”

Local hero Elfyn Evans leads WRC2 in his M-Sport Ford Fiesta R5 with the Welshman impressively inside the overall top ten as he targets a maiden class victory on home soil.

The action goes up a notch tomorrow with six stages scheduled, including two RallyFest runs at Sweet Lamb. The morning’s three stages in Hafren, Sweet Lamb and Myherin are then tackled again in identical order later the same afternoon, giving the competitors some welcome familiarity during the day.

It’s a familiar scene in the standings of course with champion Ogier leading the way, but it’s clear he has a fierce battle on his hands if he’s to win Wales Rally GB for the first time in his career.

Sébastien Ogier said: “It is quite a good start. It’s never easy to start the rally in the night, especially in the tricky and slippery conditions. We didn’t push too hard tonight but we did enough to take the lead. I am sure my experience is going to help me over the

weekend but this is a rally where it’s never over until it’s over. It’s going to be a tough challenge like it always is here but I feel I am better prepared than before to face it.”

The tartan invasion! Scotland fans sing their hearts out at Wembley… but first clash with England for 14 years ends in defeat. The Scotland fans may not have been too pleased with the result at Wembley but they certainly enjoyed themselves before and during the game.Thousands of them descended on London ahead of the first clash with Auld Enemy England since 1999. And many of the 25,000-30,000 fans who travelled south of the border were at the friendly match at Wembley, held to mark the 150th anniversary of the Football Association.

On Tuesday night, Tennent’s Lager and the Tartan Army sent out a message to London by lighting up buildings around the city, including Battersea Power Station…

MEDIA PROJECTION STUNT

Reality TV stars found themselves in an unusual setting this week as scenes from Made in Chelsea were played to a field of cows in preparation for them becoming reality stars themselves this summer.As part of the #DISCOVERDAIRY campaign for DairyCo, the mammal movie goers became both directors and stars of a series of short films, in an effort to encourage young people to connect with dairy farming.The likes of Spencer Matthews and other cast members such as Binky Felstead from Made in Chelsea fought it out for the attention of the herd, as a 4 meter wide screen showed highlights from the popular reality TV show to gauge the cows’ reactions to the unfolding drama.Dairy farmer Rob Harrison said: “A friend of mine told me that his cows are into watching TV, but I’ve never witnessed it myself. They did seem to find it pretty interesting at first, although one or two paid more attention to the snacks provided. Fresh grass is a more suitable food for cows than popcorn so we stuck to that.”Amanda Ball from DairyCo, said: “This experiment was a bit of fun, but there is a serious message here too. Research suggests there is a lack of knowledge about what modern dairy farming is about but we know people are interested in finding out more – so we’re launching a campaign to try and bridge that gap.”The Discover Dairy campaign will see the mammal moovie goers turn into both directors and stars of short films in an effort to encourage young people to connect with farming. A separate series of videos presented by TV presenter Adam Henson alongside the cow herd will also feature in the WATCH section of www.thisisdairyfarming.com.This experiment was set up for dairy farmers by DairyCo, a not-for-profit organisation providing information about dairy farming, to prepare the herd for a starring role in a series of films which launch on www.thisisdairyfarming.com this week.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Searchlight Show

On Friday 12 July 2013 huge crowds gathered at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to see the Word Heritage site landmark lit up on a fabulous summer evening. There were thousands of people enjoying the live music throughout the evening as they eagerly awaited the sky to darken and the light show to begin. The light show directed at the Aqueduct Arches was spectacular and followed by a Fireworks display donated by a local “Kevin” company – an amusing pronunciation of “Cefn” by the compare. Nobody left the evening disappointed. Congratulations to the organisers.
