It's that man Phil Sandham again! - along side Nick Dobson in the MK2 Es**rt. They were going well on last weekends Plains Rally and up to 2nd in class whilst putting in some top 30 times. Sadly an electrical fault caused their early retirement on the event.

Phil's out again this weekend on the Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally with Willie Beattie in his Ford Es**rt. We wish them the best of luck. 🤞

Remember if you're out competing or marshaling, please drop us a message and let us know so we can tell everyone else in the club what you're up to. 😎

Here's two very different in-car views from club members out last weekend. 👍

Jonny Chrisp was down at Teesside 'drifting' the Chrisp Motorsport 4 litre V8 Volvo like a hooligan. 💪 (Tyre sponsor required 😆 Contact Tony 📞)

And Simon and Greg went all the way down to Weston Park for a run around the old Lombard Rally stage in the Vauxhall Nova.
