Round 4:  1-3 June

Former champion Keith Cronin and co-driver Marshall Clarke recorded their second win of the 2012 season following a strong performance on the Jim Clark Rally.

Having taken the lead on the third of the event’s 15 stages, Cronin and Clarke overcame a broken brake pedal to cross the finish line one minute and 16 seconds ahead of their closest rivals, Tom Cave and navigator Craig Parry.

MSA Team UK’s Elfyn Evans took fourth overall to secure his fourth class win in as many events. The 23-year-old is therefore tied for the championship lead with Cave on 60 points each.
