ROSKELL AIMS TO SIGN OFF SEASON WITH GOOD RESULT ON MULL
Neil Roskell will try and finish a stellar season on asphalt with a strong result on the Mull Rally this weekend in his Ford Fiesta R5.
Back in the spring Roskell and co-driver Andrew Roughead won the MN Circuit Rally Championship and recently added the North of England Tarmacadam Rally Championship with a hat-trick of wins on the final three rounds.
Roskell’s chances of adding the Asphalt Rally Championship title to his tally were hit by the cancellation of the Three Shires Stages but he took maximum points on the final round on the Isle of Man to take second in the final standings.
Roskell said: “Now we’re going to do Mull and that will be it for this year.” His first attempt at Mull will be his 18th rally of the season, taking nine podiums in only his fourth year of competing.
Roskell is the highest seeded
Mull rookie in sixth and told MN: “I like that type of terrain – the twisty, technical, fast, slow, wet; I love the wet, I love driving in the dark, so I really can’t wait. If I beat my seeding, I’ll be a happy man.”
