Meeke dominates opening stages

Kris Meeke will lead into the first fully-fledged stages of the Rally Scotland tomorrow morning after a commanding performance on the opening Scone Palace superspecials

The Intercontinental Rally Challenge champion was comfortably faster than his rivals on both runs through the damp 1.5 kilometre stage around the palace grounds, and his Peugeot UK 207 is already four seconds clear of closest challenger Guy Wilks' Skoda.

Adam Gould is third in the second Peugeot, albeit 11s down on Meeke, and just 0.7s ahead of Alister McRae's Proton. Mitsubishi driver Alastair Fisher is tied for fourth with McRae in the leading Group N car.

The rally commences in earnest shortly before 9am on Friday morning with the Craigvinean stage. Extremely wet weather has been forecast for leg one.
