Hi Guys,
Apologies for the long delay in updating the blog, it's been a busy few weeks!
2 weeks ago, me and my co-driver Gareth Roberts, embarked on our first two rally's together- In the same weekend!
On the Friday and Saturday, we participated in the Sunseeker rally in Bourmouth in my Fiesta ST. This was a shakedown for the Malcolm Wilson rally the following weekend. The weekend went extremely well, and we finished the rally 23rd o/a 1st in class, and second two wheel drive.
This was not the end however- We rushed from parc ferme and wen't to Bourmouth airport, and flew back to Ireland. On Sunday, we took part in the Carrick on Suir Forestry Rally, in the Citroen C2R2, which I campeign in the national junior rally championship. The day wen't extremely well, and we finished 7th overall, and won the juniors by nearly 2 minutes!
It was an excellent weekend, and the results reflected both of our performances.
Then, at the weekend just gone, we headed to Cockermouth, to take part in the first round of the Kick Energy Fiesta Sport Trophy UK, the Malcolm Wilson Rally.
We started the rally full of confidence, and this showed, as we held 2nd place after 3 stages, only a mere 13 seconds behind fiesta leader Kris Hall. However on stage 4, disaster struck. Half way's through the stage, while going extremely well, the gearbox failed, and we were forced to retire. It was gutting, but at the same time we were very happy with our pace, and we now have something to look forward to, next time around.
We now have a small break before heading to Wales to compete in the Bulldog International Rally.
Stay tuned for more updates,
Craig
