Brown kicks off busy schedule with Rallycross podium

Steve Brown ensured his return to the BTRDA Clubmans Championship was a successful one, by taking third spot in the “B Final” at Blyton Race Circuit last weekend (14th October) in a Bellerby RX BMW Mini Cooper.

After making his debut in the sport at Croft in 2017, the Rochdale rally driver would once again make the switch from the stages to the circuit in a deal brokered by sponsors 710 Oils and Fuchs Lubricants UK.

He would leave behind his popular Nissan Micra Kit Car and step into a BMW Mini, operated by successful British Rallycross outfit Bellerby RX. Brown was able to overcome the torrential rain and mud strewn circuit to grab a podium result on only his second outing.
