The afternoon stages repeated a lot of the mornings tracks but using them in different directions. Trouble struck on stage seven where Jason rolled his micra causing severe damage to the bodywork however with the help of the spectators managed to continue missing all its windows and a few other items, however at the end of the stage only having lost 20 seconds to his opposition. At the finish all the crews arrived back safely having had a good afternoon;s sport.
