Stage Five

The service area before stage five is your last chance to fix your car. Remember that the car has to last for the final two stages so you should weigh up your time in the rally against any penalties you might incur. The mist has turned to rain so swap your tyres for a wet gravel set. The Riccarton stage runs mostly along the bottom of a valley and through extremely hilly ground. If you're in a World Rally Car, watch out for the chicane two segments before the end of the stage. If you're in any other car, just try to keep the car on the road. Straying from the path will almost certainly create a strange rolling effect and you'll be searching the ditch for your bodywork.
