Re: Lee's RWD Mk3 Escort Rally Car

After a very very wet day at Down Ampneys red dragon IT stages we managed to secure 10th oa and 6th in class, very hard day for all down there with so much water about it was like an ice rink for the first 5 stages, which saw a good 20-25 cars out with serious damage. We plodded on through then stages just making sure we got to the finish, it then started to dry up for the remaining stages which should have given us a big advantage! However it didn't go that way! The intercom failed on one of the stages, we broke a wheel and popped the tyre on another stage, and another stage we had the throttle sticking wide open! Very scary moments we tried to get around steady but we had to get out mid stage to back it off by hand. Turned out to be the return springs packed with shitty water/mud from stages earlier.
Then final 2 stages went really well, it had dried out a lot and we managed to set 6th fastest times!

Re: Lee's RWD Mk3 Escort Rally Car

Rally of the Midlands last weekend, multi venue rally 80 comp miles and 70 road miles, using mallory park, mira and merevale hall.

Cracking rally, the weather was awesome and we managed to get ourselfs 9th overall and 4th in class and finished second heart of England competitor. That puts us 3rd overall in the champ but the car ahead of us has points for 4 rounds where we only have 3 rounds, 5 rounds out of the 8 count so fingers crossed were on for a good result.

Slight issue with the car blowing it's water out each stage, but I'm pretty sure Iv found out the issue now, Iv whipped the head off just to be checked over for peace of mind.

We managed to set a top 3 fastest stage time through merevale hall matching Damien Coles time

Il get a incar video uploaded.

Were out on the Gareth hall memorial stages this weekend at trawsfynnyd. Last minute decision.

I was quite looking forward to it but the weather forecast has really put me off!

Re: Lee's RWD Mk3 Escort Rally Car

Had a cracking day up at Traws on the Gareth hall memorial. Luckily the weather held off to only a few gentle showers.it was a tough day with it being so cold and the stages being short... The tyres weren't getting any heat into them...
We had a couple of moments and a spin on the landing of a jump, cost us about 20secs with my mistakes which lost us 2 places overall, but we came away with 6oa and 2nd 2litre so really happy with that! It was all down to the last stage, we were 3secs behind 2nd in class so we pushed hard and set a joint fastest time with the rally winner Geoff jones in his Subaru, which pulled us back into 2nd
