Route: 100 Miles
Map: 105 & 106
Starters: 26
Winners: Jamie Gratton-Smith/Richard Hage (Peugeot 205 GTi)
Jamie Gratton-Smith/Richard Hage capped their first full year of road rallying by taking their Peugeot 205 to victory on Selby & District MC’s Three Swans Rally. The win came despite the pair having to keep their car topped up with oil and water throughout the night. They’d held fourth place at the petrol halt but surged through to take overall honours with a winning margin of fourteen seconds at the Finish.
The rally used a 100 mile route in North Yorkshire, starting at Selby MC’s clubhouse at Breighton Airfield and finishing at De Lacy MC’s clubhouse at Brotheron. It had originally been scheduled to run in June, but had to be postponed due to significant PR issues.
The rally was the final round of both the Northern and North East Midlands Championships. The ANCC drivers’ series was won by Gavin Smith. Partnered by Michael Ogram, he finished in second place on the Three Swans. His only rival, Terry Martin, finished well down the order after losing six minutes with a wrong slot.
John Haden finished in sixteenth place, but two outright victories earlier in the year, meant that this was enough to clinch the ANEMMC series. Iain Tullie had secured the ANCC navigators crown prior to the Three Swans and marshalling on the event provided sufficient points for him to add the North East Midlands title as well.
Bob Marshal/Roger Hage had been the leaders of the rally at the petrol halt but they dropped back to fourth as their Corsa ran out of brakes in the second half.
The leading novice crew were David Howell/Steve Taylor who finished in eleventh place in their Manta.
