Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship

Round 5; Isle of Man Historic Rally, 17-19 July

Jimmy McRae and Andy Richardson claimed a mighty victory on the Isle of Man Historic Rally, winning the fifth round of the Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship in their Porsche 911RS. Steven Smith/John Nichols took the fight to McRae in their 911RS and won category two, despite a major scare when a seagull wrecked their windscreen on the opening stage. To complete a Porsche rout of the categories, Dessie Nutt/Geraldine McBride took their older 911 to category one spoils.
