Monmouthshire Novice Rally 2000

Abergavenny Auto Club

15th/16th April 2000



Clerk of the Course: Jayson Brown

Route: 100 Miles

Maps: 161

Starters: 27

Winners: Joe Woodward/Chris Wallet (Peugeot 205)




Joe Woodward/Chris Wallet won the overall award on the Monmouthshire Novices Rally. The Abergavenny AC organised event attracted forty entries, 27 of these were either novices or beginners, who were the only crews eligible for the overall positions. A total of thirteen Experts and Semi-Experts fought for a joint class award.

Woodward/Wallet came home six minutes clear at the end of the 100 mile route. The runner up position was taken by John Moffat/Simon Pinock, making it a Peugoet 205 1-2. Moffat/Pinock were in the Beginners Class competing on their first full blown rally. Third place went to Alan Alford/Ted Williams, this pairing had built up a healthy lead at the halfway point but then picked up a 30 minute penalty for booking into a control early.

In the Expert Class Toby Adam/Mark Appleton had an easy win, with Appleton's experience on historic rallies proving decisive on the rally's three regularity sections. Gareth Jones/Dave Pitchford, who were debuting a new Corolla, never got on terms with Adam/Appleton and were five minutes down at the Finish.

Steve Griffiths/Ian Cooke retired with a broken exhaust on their Escort, while the similar car of Will Evans/Aneurin Evans went out with a broken halfshaft.
