Today, the final six competitive stages, held on a Military Training area in Wales
about 100km north of Cardiff.
Bleak, raining, windy, cold miserable.
The wind was so strong that when it was raining (70% of the
time), the rain is driven horizontally by the wind.
At one control, when Mark wanted to get out he wasn’t strong enough to push the door open into the wind. He actually did a seven point turn to turn the car around so he could get out.

The stage itself was just one piece of road that got used
twice in one direction and 4 times in the other.
It was wet to very wet tarmac, very bumpy with unpredictable crests. Chicanes were used at strategic spots to slow cars down.

As expected, the Porsch in 3rd spot soon ran us
down and took 2nd spot from us, with Geoff Olholm and John Dobie first, having led for most of the way....
Congratulations lads, Great performance,
