McDaid and Casey head up the historic runners

-

For the third event running, Michael McDaid and Declan Casey were historic class winners in their Escort RS1800 while Lucy Wigley overcame handling issues with her Citroen C2 before taking a class win with Emma Morrison alongside.

With championsh­ip points in mind, Pete Gorst and Mark Twiname opted for a measured drive before finishing second in the 1400S class behind Nigel and Karen Jenkins who were surprised but pleased to win the category in their similar Vauxhall Nova on their first visit to the Yorkshire forests.

Lewis Hooper and Steven Brown survived a slight off to win the RF1.4 class in their Micra, and Rob and Michael Evett won the 1400C class despite hitting a bank in their Nova.

Despite losing fourth gear early on, Tony Simpson and Simon Rogers held on to take another R2 win in their Fiesta, with Jonathan Jones and Jez Rogers second, after an incorrect tyre choice.

After a challengin­g year, things finally came right for Andy Davison and Tom Murphy, who had a big push in the afternoon to take B12 and Silver Star wins in their Sunbeam. Class rivals Rob Wright and Mark Fisher finished second in their Ford Escort with third going to class B11 winners Nick Dobson and Phil Sandham in another Escort.
