Round 5: ALMC Stages, 2 July

Rob Smith and Alun Cook took top honours in round five of the championship, the Trim-based ALMC Stages in Ireland.

Leading championship contenders Nick Elliott/Dave Price and Jason Pritchard/Phil Clarke failed to finish the closed-road rally and there was particular disappointment for Pritchard when distributor failure put him out when leading.

Leading the chase of Smith was Northern Irish crew Stanley Orr/Stephen McAuley, after beating Rudi Lancaster/Guy Weaver by less than four seconds.

Provisional championship standings
1 Nick Elliott/Dave Price – 130 points
2 Jason Pritchard/Phil Clarke – 110
