Two BMC members were out at the weekend at different ends of the stage rallying scale. Jason Pritchard was contesting the second round of the British Rally Championship in his Citroen Max and was off to a flying start, beating his class rivals over the first two Friday evening stages in the dreaded Keilder Forest. Day two was less successful as the Citroen was sucked into one of the notorious deep ditches characteristic of these forests. With 40 minutes lost it was futile to try and catch up but a finish meant that valuable points were scored. Next event in the BRC will be the Jim Clark Rally.

At Down Ampney young Jamie Vaughan sat with Malcolm Hoskins in his Peugeot 106 for the second time but they went off the road and did a Jason, getting firmly stuck and taking a maximum. They resumed and finished the rally but a certain top ten place was gone, the woes of rallying and doubtless a tale for the bar in years to come!
