DAVIES PLOTS ROMANIAN WINTER ADVENTURE

BTRDA Silver Star champion Ashley Davies will realise a long-held ambition to compete on a snow rally when he contests the Winter Romania Historic Rally in January.

Davies is being allowed to compete on the January 19-23 event in his modified Ford Escort Mk2, which will be fitted with studded tyres for the adventure.

Davies told MN: “I’ve always wanted to get on to snow with studded tyres and live the boyhood dream after seeing the pair of Escorts and Mk1 Fiesta going round the frozen lakes, which was in the video story of the Mk2 Escort.

“It will be the longest event I’ve done. I did Wales Rally GB in 2017 over two days, but this is four days including night stages.”
