KILTY ENDS EIGHT-YEAR BREAK FROM RALLYING

British Sprint champion and EuroBOSS single-seater racer Roger Kilty ended an eightyear break from rallying when he drove a Mitsubishi Lancer E10 on the recent Malton Forest Rally.

Yorkshireman Kilty completed seven seasons of historic stage rallying, first in a Vauxhall Chevette HSR and then in a Ford Escort

Mk2. His last rally was the 2014 Circuit of Ireland until his return 10 days ago. Just as before, he was co-driven on the Malton event by his partner Lynette Banks.

Kilty, after finishing 31st overall after a learning day, said: “It just felt that it was the right time to go rallying again and I fancied something different. It was my first time in a modern car too, and I had only driven it around a stubble field before starting the rally. It took a bit of getting used to as well.”

No firm plans are yet in place for what they will do next.
