McClure Magic in Yorkshire as Flookburgh youngster takes title

NGK Spark Plugs BRC Challenge contender Aaron McClure endured a tough Rally Yorkshire last weekend but recovered in fine style to take the FiestaSport Challenge (FSC) title on the two day gravel event.

Yorkshire drama leads to four-in-a row victory for Mckay

After a hat trick of wins for MSA British Rally Championship contender Ben Mckay, the 21 year old from Ellesmere overcame a host of setbacks to win the R1 class, MSA Junior category and Twingo Renaultsport R1 Trophy UK on last weekend’s Rally Yorkshire. Based in the Dalby Forest complex, the event would mark McKay’s first event on a gravel surface at night and unbeknown to the young rally star, he would start the two day event at a distinct disadvantage to class rival Harry Threlfall in his similar Renault Twingo.

Star Drive on Rally Yorkshire for Parpottas

Just four weeks after narrowly missing out on the coveted Pirelli Star Driver Nomination in Ulster, MSA British Rally Championship contender Alex Parpottas caught the eye of the selection committee on last weekend’s Rally Yorkshire and became the fifth driver this year to be awarded the sought after “Yellow Jacket”. Once again driving his Buzz Sweets Ford Fiesta R2, Parpottas managed to impress the panel throughout the two day event and will now head to the Pirelli Shootout later in the year where he will be vying for the prize of a fully paid drive in the 2014 MSA British Rally Championship.

Pryce keeps his head for win number two

Rally Yorkshire’s swansong in the MSA British Rally Championship saw young Welshman Osian Pryce and co-driver Dale Furniss take a well deserved second straight victory on this, their second full season in Britain’s premier rally series.

Pickering’s penultimate round of the 2013 BRC season was a real nail biter from start to finish, emulating last year’s event with tenths of seconds splitting the drivers until all but the final group of stages.

The lead changed three times, but it was series leaders Jukka Korhonen and Marko Salminen who opened their account with a fastest time in the darkness of Friday night’s Staindale stage.

There’s close and there’s Rally Yorkshire close

As Rally Yorkshire kicked off in 2012, who knew that the classic North Yorkshire Forest stages would witness the closest finish in the MSA British Rally Championship’s history?

Certainly not eventual winner Tom Cave; certainly not runner-up Osian Pryce. But there it was, a dead heat, ultimately decided by the driver who was fastest on the opening stage by a tenth of a second.

Although the 2013 event will be the last as part of the MSA British Rally Championship, the chances of a repeat of such a nail-biting finish at its swansong are not that distant.
