HOLT IS BACK AFTER THREE DECADES

-

After a break from rallying of 30 years,

Ian Holt has now joined the historic fraternity with a new-build

Ford Escort Mk2.

The Lancastria­n was a leading competitor in an Escort in the 1980s before stepping up to a

Ford Sierra Cosworth and then an Opel Manta before stopping rallying in 1989.

He finally made a comeback on the Carlisle Stages last October in a modified Escort Mk2 built by

Den Motorsport with a 2.5-litre Millington engine fitted.

This year, he has added a full historic car to the mix and gave it a debut run on the Wyedean in October. He finished his season in Grizedale last weekend, co-driven by Steve Pugh.
