Scrutineering took place from 13.30 today and the Lancia Delta passed with flying colours. Being a World Championship event the cars are subjected to very careful examination to ensure total compliance with the homologation papers - in addition of course to checking the normal safety measures.
This year's rally has World Rally Championship type servicing which does not allow emergency service vehicles. Each crew can have two service vehicles and a motorhome - officially work cannot be undertaken on the car outside the designated service areas.

There is no servicing at all after the Super Special Stage in Cardiff on Thursday evening and the cars go straight to parc-ferme until the re-start at 06.30 on Friday morning.

Friday and Saturday mornings will see a 10 minute service halt at Treforest which will be covered by Walkers Isuzu, thereby allowing time for the main service van and motorhome to get to the primary service point at Builth Wells.
