Update on the driver and co-driver of Car 86, Koray Muratoglu (Driver) and Caglar Suren (Co-driver), from Turkey, who were involved in a collision with another vehicle on the non-competitive liaison section from SS2 (Sweet Lamb) to SS3 (Myherin) earlier today.

The Driver sustained a broken left ankle and will stay overnight in Bronglas Hospital, Aberystwyth.

The Co-driver has sustained multiple fractures but his condition is stable and is undergoing observation in Princes Royal Hospital in Shrewsbury.

There will be further update on their condition on Saturday 6th.

There are no further reports on the six people in the other vehicle, who were uninjured.

Ends.

Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Elena seem destined to keep setting records. This time it is a record sixth world title (achieved with their 54th WRC victory) for the Citroen C4 duo but it is also probably their hardest fought.

It was an emotional final day of Rally GB for the Citroën Total WRT. In spite of having led from the outset, Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena only saw the rally swing decisively in their favour on the penultimate stage.

Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen's dream of a maiden FIA World Rally Championship title ended in disappointment today in Wales after a stirring final day battle.
