FLITNEY BACK IN ACTION IN 5 NATIONS BATTLE

-

Volvo C30 driver Dom Flitney will make his first Supercar start away from Lydden Hill in the ninth round of the British Rallycross Championsh­ip 5 Nations Trophy at Dreux in France next week.

Eight drivers will travel from the UK and Ireland to take on the French contingent as part of a 34-strong Supercar line-up. Flitney contested the opening double-header of the 5 Nations BRX campaign at Lydden Hill and raced in the Nitro Rallycross event held at the Kent circuit, but work commitment­s have prevented him from competing in further events.

“Harvest, onions, wheat, that’s basically the reason I haven’t been able to race as much I would have liked this season,” Flitney told MN. “I race all that I can. The early harvest changed things this year, but the Dreux dates work out well, which is great. The field is really strong, so we will see how we get on, but of course I want to do well. I love every time I can get in the car, and on a new track that is even better, especially as I have only raced the Volvo at Lydden Hill so far since I got it. I can’t wait.”
