Route: 180 Miles

Maps: 146 147 & 160

Starters: 64

Winners: Jamie Turner/Graham Raeburn (MG Metro)




Jamie Turner/Graham Raeburn took their second successive win on the Y2K Road Rally, after a stunning drive over the Abergwseyn Pass.

The event had two short Jogularity section, which formed a sandwich, with a circuit of the Epynt Ranges as its filling. These tests were followed by the crucial run over the Abergwesyn loop. The Brecon-based rally finished with a final run over Epynt. The rally included the Welsh Retro Historic Rally, which, due to a lack of entries, had shed its day time test and regularity sections.

It was the fourth running of the Clwb Modur Cymru event and was a round of the North Western Championship. The Welsh Retro was a counter to the HRCR Nocturnal Challenge.

Runners Up: Martin Leonard/Kevin Chaffey (VW Golf GTi)

John Morgan/Byron Jones (Citroen Saxo) led after the first Jogularity, picking up just four seconds penalties. They dropped a minute on the first visit to Epynt, which dropped them to fifth. They cleaned the second Jogularity and had moved up to third when they crashed out on Abergewsyn.

Mike Cartwright/David Pedley (Vauxhall Astra) had been third after the first Jogularity, but picked up some large penalties, before also retiring on Abergwesyn.

Jamie Turner/Graham Raeburn, moved up from second to take the lead after cleaning the first Epynt loop. However a disasterous second Jogularity saw them picked up 62 seconds in penalties and they fell to fourth.

Top 5 Positions after Jogularity 2:
Martin Leonard/Kevin Chaffey (VW Golf GTi) 0m 20s
Keith Jenkins/Edwyn Evans (Saab 96 V4) 0m 34s
John Morgan/Byron Jones (Citroen Saxo) 1m 04s
Jamie Turner/Graham Raeburn (Rover Metro) 1m 08s
Anthony Gluyas/Richard Preece (Peugeot 205 GTi) 2m 30s

The final result was decided on the run over the legendary Abergewsyn mountain road. Turner/Raeburn were the only crew to clean the section and retook a lead they weren't to lose, as they also cleaned the second and final visit to Epynt and its surrounding forests.
