End of day 2.

Sordo had a mixed day, moving back up the leader board after a couple of minor offs then ending the day ripping the front bumper off and struggling with reduced downforce, ends the day in 6th.

Neuville had a better day today, working steadily whilst those ahead of him had their issues, ending the day in 4th.  Stage 16 saw him exit on 3 cylinders and some frantic roadside service via mobile phone with the team, seemed to cure it for 17, but exited 18 with the car sounding like a bag of rusty nails (Neuvilles own description), got her back to service, hopefully the team will identify and rectify the issue for the last few stages in the morning!
