The
Mewla is the third tarmac round of the championship and takes place on the
Epynt Military Ranges in Mid-Wales. This will be a first for
both crew members neither having competed on Epynt before. The
opportunity to recce the day before the event will allow Andrew to
familiarise himself with the stages as well as checking the pace notes
ahead of the event.
Andrew goes into
the event on the back of some fine stage times on the last round, his home
event, the Manx Trophy. He
was actually leading the event at the point of retirement by 39 seconds
from nearest challenger David Crossen.
On this occasion the cause of retirement was an engine failure and
proved deeply disappointing for the crew, but proved he could take on
the front runners in the championship.
Robert retired from the rally on the first leg of the event when he rolled
out while partnering reigning 205 Challenge Champion Eliot Retalick.
Although Jonnie Wigmore has already won the Junior Championship, the fight
for runners up spot is by no means over.
Andrew lies in 5th place, 12 points behind Innes Clark
who currently holds onto 2nd.
Also in the hunt for the runners up spot are Niki Cleland and
Stephen Petch, this could go down to the final round.
