After some thoughts of retirement from posting here (lol) and in an effort to keep a record of our competition cars up to date, off I go again. Very early this time (04.30) being in Manchester I have not been that far down the country rallying since the WRC days. And then I was coming up from Cardiff/Swansea service parks. It was around a 3 hour trip even at the speed limit !!!(Honest gov)
I headed for the first stage (Lyn Login) to make sure I get all the cars through. Arrived at around 7.30 for a 9.22 SS01 stage start, and it was empty apart from Marshalls. Turned out to be a generally dry day and the speccy area was large and you were free to roam away if you wanted, staying in safe places obviously.
A 90 degree from gravel to tarmac and a hairpin in the speccy area, and to make it even better right at the start of the taped off area was a jump for the faster cars. I moved to the jump for the second run through SS05 13.00
I may go back next year holidays and weather permitting as its is very open on the military ranges.
Nice to see a basic i20 taking place (223), not a "N" or "R5" souped up car. and it was going well.
Car No Driver Co Driver Make/Model Size Class
5 Kyle White Peredur Davies Hyundai I20 R5 1598 B14
6 Alan Carmichael Dale Bowen Hyundai I20N 1600 B14
223 Dave Troughton Natalie Heath Hyundai I20 1198 RF1.4
Results
5 - Kylie and Peredur came in 5th overall 1.20.8 away from winner and 2nd in class just 26seconds adrift.
6 - Alan and Dale were 11th overall, and 8th in class.
223 - Dave and Natalie were first in their class and 95th over all out of 97 fimishers. However they had a 2 min penalty. Without that they would have been higher up.
Hope you like the pictures, even in the reduced sizes to post,
still getting used to the new Nikon.
