SG Petch Tour of Hamsterley Rally 2014

Edwards wins WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship round three

Matt Edwards and Kim Baker scored a fine victory on yesterday's SG Petch Tour of Hamsterley historic rally (Saturday 26 April), the third round of the West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship. The 45-mile event made use of the Hamsterley forest complex as well as the mixed surface stage at Raby Castle and it was Edwards who took control from the start, despite feeling unwell. Edwards and Baker went into the final loop of three stages just 12s up on the similar Ford Escort Mk2 of Matthew Robinson/Sam Collis, but when Robinson hit electrical dramas on the penultimate stage, Edwards was clear of Nick Elliott/Dave Price by 47s.
