2007 Review

After a very successful 2007, plans are now afoot to make 2008 even better.

The switch to the Rover 200 proved to be a good move allowing us (Dave Leadbetter - Nav) to take many good results, and to challenge for top 5 results. This was backed up by taking 3rd Driver and 2nd Navigator in the National Endurance Road Rally Championship.

This was also backed up by this years Lombard rally (with Dave Town on the maps), although the final result didn't reflect our pace we were placed 2nd overall (out of 120 starters) at the end of day 1 and lying in ~6th place overall when we retired due to a fuel pump wiring fault.

Work and and plans are in place for an even stronger attack on this years championship, plans include :-

- Testing in January to evaluate new tyres for the championship
- Review and further development work on suspension settings
- Repairing and installing back-up wiring for the fuel pump
- Full overhaul and check of the rally car all ready for the first round of the championship early in February.
