Looks like Alan's doing great up against all that modern machinery. Live results are below of this weekends rally. Looks like he picked up a 1min road penalty though

caused by early into Time Control 3, bummer.

Superb time on SS2

Having a great battle with Ricki Profitt in the 911. Looks like Ricki's gone faster in SS7

He finished 31 out of 41 finishers, out of 78 starters

Excellent work lad

Look forward to the first hand report

Thanks for the interest and support !
Was an interesting and good event ...... there were three "historic" (read old) Porsches out , so we quickly formed a team (total of 7 teams entered) ..... and managed to win ! (suspect it wasn't speed , but reliability that won us that award ??)
Very quick in places - much faster than usual for me - not because of car or driver .... but due to lack of (reduced number of) artifical chicanes compared to International event in the summer time .
Longest stage was 13.02 miles (SS 5 and SS 12) - we were pleased with a time of 13mins , 1.6 secs first time over .... (almost exactly 60mph) . Second run through and we were "battling" with trying to be quicker than the 2 litre Historic 911 that was out (Rikki Proffit) , .... were feeling chuffed with being about 42 secs quicker than him (12 mins 11.2 secs for us that time - and just over 64 mph ave) , until we found out Adrian Kermode's time in the "big" 911 ......... 11 mins 25.4 secs .... gulp ......"there's always a bigger fish !!"
Have got car washed and checked over today - nothing to do really before Donegal Rally in June ..... let's hope the weather is as good then as it was this weekend !
