Prestone MSA British Rally Championship
Round 4: Ypres Rally, 24 June

Keith Cronin and Mikie Galvin were the top BRC crew on the legendary Ypres Rally – the championship's first overseas round in its 59-year history.

The Irish pair guided their M-Sport Ford Fiesta R5 to victory and mixed it with the best of Europe, finishing sixth in the overall event. The closest challenge came from Fredrik Ahlin and Torstien Eriksen until the Swede lost control of his Fabia R5, ending up in one of the event's notorious ditches.

Eventually Matt Edwards and Darren Garrod took second in their Fiesta R5. Edwards was only on his third Tarmac event in the car and was driving clean and tidy throughout the two days. Completing the BRC podium were Osian Pryce and Dale Furniss (Fiesta R5), who had a quiet event by their high standards.

Round 3: Summer Nationals, Santa Pod Raceway, 24-25 June

Rain showers and a racing accident in another class ended the event prematurely, leaving Kevin Slyfield and Marco Maurischat poised to contest the Pro Modified final.

Maurischat, a model of 6.2/6.3-second consistency throughout the weekend, had beaten championship leader Andy Robinson in the semi-final, while Slyfield had eliminated second-placed Bobby Wallace in round one.
