The spectacular rivalry between the Ford Escorts of Nick Elliott/Chris Brooks and Julian Reynolds/Ian Oakey was once again the highlight as the Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship returned to Wales for round two, the Bulldog Historic Rally (Saturday 2 April).

The stages are generally fast flowing but are very taxing and can draw in the unsuspecting competitor. As in previous years we have tried to keep second usage of stages to a absolute minimum to give the entrant and competitor the best value for money. less
