Lying in fourth overall
and third in Kumho classification only 2.2 seconds behind 2003
runner-up James Potter in second they entered Clocaenog East hoping
to stay in touch and then push hard on the final two stages.
Unfortunately this was not
to be the case and 200 yards into the stage as they attempted
the first corner the Motivation Engineering Escort went off the road
on the slippery surface left by the main field earlier in the
day and hit a tree stump damaging the radiator and smashing the
oil pump and filter. Even if they had been able to get the car back on to
the road the damage sustained had put them out of the event.
The next round of the
championship is in two months time, the Mutiny Rally and therefore
providing plenty of time for the car to be repaired.
George and Rob will be hoping for better fortune and a good
result to get there championship back on target.
The team would
