British rally team competing on tarmac and forest events on BTRDA, ANCRO, BRC and club special stage rallies in various rally cars - currently a S1400 Ford Puma Racing
Held at a new venue to rallying near Grafton Underwood, Kettering - the stages proved very slippy and rough, not best suited to a Tarmac spec car on slicks.
Gravel tyres all-round and softer suspension were essential to be competative on the day, so the team settled for some serious testing of the new drivetrain - which did well.
Depsite getting stuck behind traffic early on, numerous spins, collisions and cock-ups - the team ended up 2nd in class and 21st overall from an entry of 60 cars. Some highlights of the giggles below...
February 2012 - FRP rebuild is complete...
After repeated transmission problems last year, the team have now had the gearbox and diff stripped, modified and rebuilt - alongwith a new pair of custom driveshafts.
We've also been busy dieting, with just under 100kg's stripped from the car since Snetterton last November. We also now have a quick release dashboard, much simplified wiring loom and new seats and belts.
We may still only have 148bhp, but it has less to drag about now!
