May 2009: Welsh International Rally
|
|
Kevin Newman & Jonathan Sargeant took part in the RDP Welsh rally on 3rd May.
It was their first time on Epynt. It was also the first time doing a recce and using pace notes. Their
plan was to go for the finish so they took it steady but not too slow and at the end of the day finished 6th in class
and 40th overall, in their 205GTI 1.9. |

December: Rockingham Stages 2008
The 5th running of the Rockingham Stages, which we co-promote with Middlesex County Automobile Club, took
place on the weekend of 13th/14th December. Once again almost 100 cars took part in the 2-day, 10-stage rally. This year we
were joined by former British Rally Champion Russell Brookes who was reunited with the Talbot Sunbeam that he drove in the
1981 RAC Rally. However for the 4th time in a row the Rally was won by Steve Simpson, co-driven by Simon Hunter, in their
Hyundai Accent WRC. The award winners are listed below. Visit the event website www.rockinghamstages.co.uk
