Julian Reynolds and Ian Oakey were well on their way to a second win of the season as the Dunlop Wonago MSA British Historic rally Championship moved out of Wales for the first time this season, for the Carlisle-based Pirelli Historic Rally (Saturday 30 April). Having built up a 28-second lead, an electrical failure put them out on the penultimate stage, handing category three victory to fellow Escort Mk2 crew Nick Elliott and Chris Brooks. Graham Waite and Gill Cotton (Volvo Amazon) topped category one and Stefaan Stouf/Joris Erard (Escort Mk1) claimed category tw2o, after Rupert Lomax’s Escort Mk1 suffered a gearbox problem on the final stage at Chirdonhead.

Simon Wallis and Graham Wride will lead category one away in their Lotus Cortina, while David Stokes and Guy Weaver are bidding for a hat-trick of wins in category two in their Ford Escort Mk1. In category three, the Ford Escort Mk2s of Nick Elliott and Julian Reynolds will renew their spectacular rivalry. Category 1 Category one – for the pre ’68 cars – has a new car at the head of the pack as Wallis and Wride run first on the road after showing fabulous speed over the opening two rallies. They don’t know the Kielder stages as well as Wales, but will surely set a cracking pace as the... less
