THE RSM/Spax/PCS stage rally championship will all be decided by 6pm on Sunday as the two final rounds take place over the weekend.

After leading the series for most of the season, the team of Nigel Bunney and Andrew Leach are now second by just a couple of points. That means they'll have to better previous scores to add to their total and are forced to contest the Grizedale stages on Saturday and the Oaks stages at Flookburgh on Sunday. Little more than 10 days ago, Bunney and Leach were competing in Britain's biggest sporting event when they realised a life-time's ambition by taking part in the Network Q/RAC rally. In some of the worst weather the event has seen in recent years, the Racal supported Nova slithered in the extreme conditions and joined Ari Vatanen on the over-the-time allowed list.
