Brown set for Classic campaign

Terry Brown, an Escort Mk2 star of the 1980s, will return to rallying full time in 2006 after spending the last 12 years racing. Brown has built up a Mk2 Escort and will contest the HRCR Classic Stage Rally Championship."I stopped rallying 12 years ago and I've been racing ever since," explained the Carmarthen driver, who has won the Welsh Sports/Saloon title several times, racing both an LM3000 and a Radical Prosport, which is now for sale.But now he is returning to his rallying roots and will run the Escort alongside the Mk1 that he has prepared for BHRC contender David Stokes over the last 12 months. In 2006, the two Escorts will run as a two-car operation."I've decided to have a go at historics and I want to have a serious crack at the forests," says Brown. He recently gave the Mk2 a shakedown run on the Cambrian Rally and will contest the Red Kite Stages in January before the opening Classic round in early March."I've now got to reverse everything I had to learn when I switched to racing," says Brown, who first started rallying in the late 1960s.
