Championship Update 15 May 2022
Round 3 the Manx National Rally held in the Isle of Man was a two Leg double header event with mixed fortunes for the two crews who made the trip over the water
Friday saw early evening and night stages with Bob Gibbons Jon Harris having alternator failure finishing their leg one but Mike Simpson Dale Gibbons coming through unscathed with a top twenty placing showing great promise on Mike’s first visit to the Island
Saturday with alternator fixed Bob and Jon could have another crack at the event
This time it was Mike and Dale to suffer retirement when a nasty compression dip caused a visit to the scenery ending what was a very good run with two punctures and broken exhaust all this when a top ten finish and first historic home was on the cards.
So, leg two saw Bob and Jon home safe with points over the two legs being shared as is now the overall championship positions
Contenders now have a summer break with the next round being the Mewla Stages on the 28th August

Crews arrived to find Epynt shrouded in fog with drizzle making the stages very challenging quite a dramatic change as Saturday scrutineering took place in sunny summer like conditions
With no major incidents but numerous offs the event ran to time all day and was a credit to the organisers from the co-promotion by Forresters and Forest of Dean clubs
Current leading championship driver is Stuart Anderson in the Vauxhall Chevette HRS nice to see a leading car with no blue oval on bonnet for a change
Leading co-driver is Ian Jones who is seat hoping between a driver with a forest escort and one with a tarmac spec
