Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship round three
2008-05-22 00:00:00 The third round of the 2008 Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship will take crews to Wales for the first time this year for some classic mid-Wales stages during the Severn Valley Historic Rally (Saturday 31 May). With two very long stages making up the meat of the 45 stage miles, it's going to be a challenging event for another excellent BHRC field. Category 1 As usual, the oldest cars in category one (pre '68) will run first on the road and a double victory on the Robin Hood and Pirelli rallies has been the perfect start to the year for Patrick Watts and Elgan Davies in their Sunbeam Tiger. They'll be going all out for a hat-trick in Wales and will start as clear favourites. Heading the Porsche challenge to the rumbling Tiger will be Dessie Nutt and Geraldine McBride in their familiar Porsche 911, but the long fast straights in Radnor should give the Tiger crew a flying start to the rally. However, as well as chasing the Tiger, Nutt/McBride will be working har...
Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship, Pirelli Historic Ral
2008-04-27 00:00:00 Click on the picture to enlarge The Kielder region proved up to its daunting reputation on round two of the 2008 Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship, the Pirelli Historic Rally on 18/19 April. While the unforgiving ditches caught out some of the leading contenders and mechanical dramas accounted for others, a tremendous performance from Darren Moon and John McNichol (Escort Mk2) netted category three spoils. Unfortunately, a major accident befell Jimmy McRae/Andy Richardson (Porsche 911RS) on the penultimate stage when battling for the category. In category one, Patrick Watts and Elgan Davies set a scorching pace in the Sunbeam Tiger to win the category and set times that put them up with the top six category two and three crews. Meanwhile, in category two, a fine run for Rupert Lomax/David Alcock (Escort Mk2) brought them a first BHRC victory on their debut event in the region. Overall, the event was well received by the 65-strong historic entry, with everyone...

HRCR Night Rally Championship: New look for 2008
2008-01-14 00:00:00 HRCR has announced two new initiatives that between them will bring a new expanded approach for those who venture out after dark. The championship format has been shaken up and the Maxsport Historic Rally Championship will now contain a mix of full-weekend, night and daytime events.

Category 3, for cars from 1975 to 1981, is dominated by Ford Escort Mk2s, so to recognise and encourage crews in other cars, the HRCR Best Non-Escort Award is presented to the highest scoring crew in anything other than an Escort. Perry, from Market Drayton in Shropshire, ran his Talbot under the name of 'Team Shoestring' and sealed the award with a strong finish on the final round, the Trackrod Historic Cup on 6 October.

British Historic Rally Championship: B2 going down to the wire
2007-10-07 00:00:00 British Historic Rally Championship" > Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship The season-long battle for class B2 in the BHRC will be resolved in Yorkshire on Saturday (6 October) when Terry Cree/Richard Shores battle with Clive King/Bob Ward for the honour of being the best Mini crew in the 2007 championship. Heading for the Trackrod, Cree/Shores lead King/Bob Ward by 20 points, but with dropped scores to consider, it is very close and the crews effectively start level as Cree already has six scores, while King only has five. "B2 is going to be the class to watch, it's going to be all-out," says King. "I've spoken to Terry and it should be a good battle. It's his local event and I've only been there twice. We'll have to see what happens on the first stage!" So, the title will go to whichever crew finishes ahead on the Yorkshire event, though if neither finish then Cree will be champion. Adding depth to the B2 entry will be more Minis for Graeme Godfrey/Ric...

Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship: Pirelli Historic Ral
2007-04-27 00:00:00 Welcome to the second issue for 2007 of the post-event news and gossip update for the Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship. The Pirelli Historic Rally was generally well received and the event organisers clearly worked hard to make the BHRC crews very welcome. Excellent feedback from the spectators proved that the historics added greatly to the opening round of the British Rally Championship. News Adrian Seabridge arrived at Carlisle in his superbly refettled Sunbeam Lotus, rebuilt around a new Jim Little shell. Unfortunately, his rally was very short-lived as a piece of wood wedged against the diff and pulled a brake pipe out within the opening mile of the first stage. "I'm pleased with the car," said Adrian despite the disappointment. "It rode the bumps better on the little bit of stage we did." A day's testing is planned before the Severn Valley.

The crews will tackle four stages on Friday evening and a further four stages on Saturday, starting and finishing with a ceremonial flourish in Carlisle city centre. Category 1 Running first on the road will be the category 1 classic cars (pre '68) and it is defending champions Patrick Watts and Elgan Davies who are sure to set the pace in their Sunbeam Tiger.

News Don Simmons and Brian Thomas had a troubled rally, but finally got their Escort Mk1 to the finish of Sunday's Trophy Rally. "In the very short section between the finish of stage one and the start of the next stage the temperature crept up as we stopped and started in the queue. We got to the line and she wouldn't pull away, it stalled and she refused to start. Event over." After time to cool down, all was well and the car behaved until the same situation developed on the second run through Clipstone. It took a minute to do... |
