TOP CLASS FIELD
THE cream of
British motor rallying talent will line up on Saturday for the Severn
Valley National Rally which starts and finishes at the
Royal Welsh
Showground in Builth Wells
The 120 competitors from throughout the UK will
be competing for honours in three prestigious championships. they are the
MSA ( Motorsport Association) Gravel Rally Championship, The MSA
British Historic Rally Championship, and of the MSA Welsh National
Rally Championship.
It is round three of the 2010 MSA Gravel
Rally Championship which is making the first of three successive
visits to Wales and the Welsh borders.
Championship leaders Jonny
Milner (Huggate) and co driver Ian Windress (Northallerton) will be looking
for another victory in their Toyota Corolla WRC to add to the win last time
out on the Pirelli Tour of Cumbria, when the former double British Champion
saw off the Hyundai Accent WRC of Stephen Petch (Hamsterley) and John
Richardson (Northallerton) and Yorkshiremen Charlie Payne (Ripon) and
Craig Thorley (York) in their Ford Focus WRC and that's the way they stand
in the title chase.
But Milner won't have it all his own way
ion Saturday because as well as Petch and Payne, the Subaru WRC of former
ANCRO Champions Roger Duckworth (Silverstone) and co driver Mark
Broomfield (Towcester), who finished third on Rallye Sunseeker before
crashing out in Kielder Forest last month, will be a major threat in the Welsh
forests.
The Subaru of Alex Allingham (Stalybridge) and Mark
Glennerster (Wanborough) as well as Tom Naughton (Bury) and Horace Saville
(Bury) in the Mitsubishi didn't see the Carlisle finish and neither did
Jamie Anderson (Ellistown) and Mark Mason (Gateshead) in their Mitsubishi
so all are hoping to make sure they have a good run this time .
Welshmen Tom Cave and Ieuan Thomas will take to the stages in their
Proton Satria and will hope to improve on their sixth
seeding.
