Round 4: Rally of the MidlandsDamian Cole and Craig Drew collected their third consecutive maximum Richard Egger Insurance MSA Asphalt Rally Championship points haul on round four, the Rally of the Midlands. Time lost to an incorrect first-leg tyre choice was soon recouped on Saturday’s dry stages by the Ford Focus WRC crew, which went on to take victory by almost a minute from the Skoda Fabia WRC of John Stone and Lee Carter.Stone thus holds a seven-point championship advantage over Cole, with Simon Mauger – who produced another giant-killing performance in his Ford Escort MkII to take claim the final podium place – third.  Results1 Damian Cole / Craig Drew (Ford Focus WRC) 1h13m21s2 John Stone / Lee Carter (Skoda Fabia WRC) 1h14m14s3 Simon Mauger / Chris Butcher (Ford Escort MkII) 1h15m18sRound 5: ALMC (Dublin) July 18Championship positions (provisional) after Round 4 1 John Stone – 82 points 2 Damian Cole – 753 Simon Mauger – 624 Roger Donnan – 515 Jim Sharp – 496 James Martin – 44
