SWISHER MSA English Rally Championship - Round 1: Wyedean Rally, 11 February

The 2012 MSA English Rally Championship kicked off with Saturday’s Wyedean Rally, on which the top championship crew was Julian Wilkes and Will Rutherford in third overall.

A total of 75 crews registered for the class-based championship, which is open to two-wheel-drive cars of up to 2000cc. Wilkes and Rutherford won the 1400cc class, and despite suffering a puncture on SS4 they were beaten overall only by two four-wheel-drive turbocharged cars.

Ian Barrett and Gavin Wright hired a Rally First Nissan Micra from Rallyschool for the event and also had an excellent run, finishing more than four minutes ahead of the other standard car class runners.
