Isle of Man Sports Aid recipient Rob Fagg hopes to maintain his lead at the top of the BTRDA Silkolene 1400 Co-driver Championship this weekend as he contests the North Humberside Forest Rally. The Hull based event is the third round of the championship and will see the crews tackle 45 competitive miles on some of the fastest gravel stages in the UK.

After back to back victories on the opening two rounds alongside Shropshire rally star James Wozencroft, the pair go into the event as the team to beat. The event though will see a change of machinery as the Dealer Team Suzuki Ignis they used on the opening rounds is currently being prepared for the BRC Live event next weekend. Wozencroft therefore has rolled out his own Vauxhall Nova that he used to good effect in 2004 taking runner-up spot in this championship and so it should not prove a handicap for Wozencroft and Isle of Man Back Scholarship backed Fagg in their quest for further points.

Rob is supported in 2005 by the Isle of Man Sports Council, Manx Motorsport Youth Trust, Isle of Man Bank, Integrated Capabilities, Manx Telecom and Mexperience.co.uk
