The Legend Fires North West Stages Rally stages run predominantly on narrow country lanes and therefore when an incident occurs there is a high risk of a stage stoppage. Unfortunately, this morning there were multiple incidents on stages 1, 2 & 3 including competitor accidents that required both medical and recovery intervention. These resulted in the event schedule being severely delayed. In order to regroup the field and restore the schedule as far as possible, the decision was made to cancel the last 2 stages of the first loop. This was an extremely difficult call to make, however an inevitable one due to time lost through competitor incidents. This proved to be the correct decision as all competitors were able to tackle all afternoon stages within the allotted time.
We are grateful for the patience and understanding of competitors and championships.
