EDWARDS READY TO RESTART HISTORIC TITLE ATTACK
British Rally champion Matt Edwards will resume his bid for the British Historic Rally Championship on Saturday’s Woodpecker Stages.
After a long 15-week summer break, the BHRC restarts for three more rounds across September and October and Edwards will spearhead a bid to take the crown for the Rallysport Developments Fiat 131.
The Ludlow-based event is making its debut in the BHRC schedule and has a 40-strong historic field. With the best five scores from six rounds to count, Edwards needs to score well on the three remaining rounds as he already has a zero score from not contesting the seasonopening Riponian Rally.
Heading the BHRC points into his home rally is Henri Grehan (Ford Escort Mk2) while Nick Elliott, in another Fiat 131, is also in contention despite not finishing the Plains Rally in May after engine problems.
