A bitter blow

Hi All,
Midway through last weekend, I had visions of writing this with a big grin on my face, acknowledging my first BRC win, but it was cruelly taken away from me.
We were leading the rally, and feeling the most confer table I have ever felt in the car to date. The rally started really well, with four fastest stage times from six, and we were ahead by 12 seconds, to Keith Cronin, come the end of leg one. Leg two, started with a further three fastest stage times, then on SS10, Swinton, disaster struck. A terminal engine fault occured and we were forced to retire from the rally, a bitter blow. Every effort is always made to ensure the durability of the car and it's components, but occasionally things malfunction and shatter dreams, as demonstrated on Saturday. It was extremely hard for me to take on board what had happened, but I must now gather my thoughts and move on to Donegal in two weeks. In the meantime, I will be attending the Rally Show at Chatsworth this weekend, so please do come and support a great event, and hopefully my own car will be in attendance.
All the best
Craig
