STURDY PLOTS ROGER ALBERT BID IN FRESH ESCORT

-

Ken Sturdy says his latest Ford Escort Mk2 was built for next year’s Roger Albert Clark Rally.

The immaculate BDGpowered car was built up by Nick Carr at CarrPrep in Yorkshire and contested the Trackrod and Malton rallies in the autumn.

Sturdy told MN: “I’m delighted with it. We’ve built it for the Roger Albert Rally next year because I’d never done the event until the last one and then I jumped in Mike Reed’s car at the last minute when he was unwell. I loved it and

I really want to do it again.”

He says next year’s programme will start with the Riponian Stages in February and then take in selected rounds of the BHRC building up to the Roger Albert Clark Rally in November.

Meanwhile, he will keep his modified Hillman Avenger for asphalt rallies, notably the Circuit

Rally Championsh­ip.
