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.
