WELL DONE! to Kit and Tim Leigh on not only finishing, but 24th overall / 5th in class.A great result!
This new car is proving to be very reliable - did the service crew have any major work to do?
Looks like they may have super rallied, as they were a good 20 minutes down after half hour competition according to yesterday's results....
They managed to get two punctures last night so had to make use of the super rally rules. Tim reckons they would have been 17th overall and 2nd in class otherwise. Not bad for an International event
Adam Gould also took part and was lying in 15th overall and was leading class R2 but didn't finish stage 10 along with 4 other cars who retired on the same stage.
I calculated the same roughly, good stage times from Kit (and Tim of course)....
Good to see Adam living up to expectations, same about the car reliability though (broken wishbone?)
Blimey Tim, what a shiney car. Great result, well done.
See you on the Severn Valley. I had better start polishing mine now!!!
Blimey Tim, what a shiney car.
So are you going to do more BRC events ???
Reference Tims event report.
Wouldn't mind, trouble is most are tarmac and involve quite a lot of time off. Wouldn't mind doing Manx, but it won't be this year. We will be at Trackrod, but may just do the National event as it is an ANCRO round - doing the International is quite appealing though.
Kit needs to work on his new employers to get the time off for Rally GB.
Quite interested in last weeks MN article about expanding the BRC with more gravel events. I can see the BRC and ANCRO being packaged up together for quite a few events next year.
without being too nosey.... Is it much more expensive doing the international events considering the increase in stage mileage ?
I appreciate it needs more time off for recce etc
