Round 4: Rainworth Skoda Dukeries Rally, 11 June
Ashley Slights broke the stalemate between himself and Darren Pinchin at the top of the points table by winning Class E1 on the Dukeries Rally.
Slights now holds a two-point advantage over Pinchin, who was the favourite for victory in Class E2 until losing 30 seconds to a high-speed excursion into a ditch on SS3, which allowed Kieran Darrington to take first place.
Allan McDowall won Class E5 by eight seconds after overhauling Warren Philliskirk and the 'Flying Kiwi' Boyd Kershaw on the final two stages. Meanwhile Paul Bonner and Matt Beebe claimed maximum points in Classes E3 and E4 respectively.
