GRAHAMS TAKE EUROPEAN RALLY TITLE GLORY

Husband-and-wife team Ernie and Karen Graham have won Category 1 in the FIA European Historic Rally Championship.

As regular contenders in the championship, their twin-cam Ford Escort Mk1 cannot be beaten with two of the nine rounds left to run.

Expat Irishman Graham is based in Surrey.

Their son Will, 25, is now back in Europe and despite a late start to his season is chasing EHRC Category 2 glory in the family’s Escort Mk2, with two wins in the most recent events in Elba and San Remo.

To date this year, Will has been living and rallying a Mitsubishi Lancer E10 in the American Rally Association championship and has recorded some strong results.
