Kevin Davies’s returned to the Welsh Championship fray on the Night Owl Rally. He had missed the last two rounds but on the Aberystwyth event, along with navigator Dale Bowen, he took his third win of the year.

However it was a closer contest than his previous two wins as Andy Davies/Lee Taylor finished only six seconds behind. The latter crew would have won but for being delayed when the Astra of former event winners Steve Woods/Aled Richards broke down in front of them. Davies/Taylor lost 46 vital seconds to Davies/Bowen on that section.

With Welsh series leaders Mark ‘GT’ Robert/Dylan Jenkins missing the event due to illness, Davies’s win leaves the title race finely balance.

It was a tough rally with 39 crews failing to make the finish. Top seeds Lewis Morgan/Max Freeman were amongst these; they went out with an oil leak in their newly rebuilt Escort.
