Watched the incar, and very good.... Steve seems to like the handbrake a lot more than you, but then he prefers gravel to sealed surfaces..... Tarmac is for getting to the forest! 
Hopefully will get chance to get the footage off the camera tonight, as had a few hectic eves at home... That expensive polish stuff worked a treat on the car, as the dirt just fell of with the pressure washer! Only found 2 stone chips as well.. lol
Managed to sell the wide set of gravel tyres as well on Sat, so they did Down Ampney last week, and are doing Somerset this weekend! 
Hopefully ordering a set of Silverstone Rallycross intermediates next week to go on the 6" 5 spokes.. We were not far off your times untill stage 4, and then the tyres started to let us down, but overall, well happy with the times that we were posting but we know that we can go faster, so push on next rally...

Handbrakes were done when they were neccessary, no point otherwise just wastes time!!
No need for excuses on times now  Your show car cant cut it with the old dog 205  haha!!
I found out when i got home i snapped a rear disc in half haha
