Grampian Forest Rally - (Sat) 14 Aug 21

CRONIN RESUMES BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP CAMPAIGN IN SCOTLAND

Posted: August 12, 2021 12:01 PM

Hankook Tire's Keith Cronin will resume his British Rally Championship challenge on Saturday's Grampian Rally, based at Milton of Crathes in Aberdeenshire. The event has not previously featured in the series and will be new to many of the contenders, including Keith, who will again be partnered by co-driver, Mikie Galvin, in the NPL Rally Hire & Preparation-tended Ford Fiesta Rally 2.

Cronin outlined his hopes for the event while travelling to Scotland.
"We didn't have the smoothest of starts on the last round in Wales, so I'm hoping to get some extra points on the board this time out. I haven't done the Grampian before but I've had a look at the DVD of the stages, there seems to be a good mix, some of it is twisty and technical, there are other parts which could be muddy and slippy if it's wet. The Fetteresso stage looks fast and flowing. We've been doing some work over the past few weeks, our development programme with Hankook has progressed well, and I'm looking forward to getting out on Saturday".

The Hankook Ford Fiesta is seeded at number six, in a competitive field which includes current championship leader, Matt Edwards, his nearest challenger, Rhys Yates, and Sam Moffett, winner of the opening round at Oulton Park.

The Grampian Rally will get under way just after 9am, with a ceremonial start in Banchory. Six stages, totalling 44 miles/70 kilometes await the field during the course of the day, with the Finish celebrations due to take place at Milton of Crathes just before 5pm. Covid-related restrictions have forced the organisers to prevent spectators from accessing the stages or service area, but there will be live updates from selected stage finishes on facebook.com/brcrally, and the continually updated results can be viewed in real-time at rallies.info .

In addition the primary support of Hankook Tire, Cronin's British Rally Championship programme is also assisted by M. O'Brien Group of Companies, Rentokil Initial, Cremin Coaches, Cronin's Centra, Cronin's Homevalue and M-Sport.

BRC gears up for some of Scotland’s finest gravel at the Grampian

Posted: August 12, 2021 11:58 AM

After a scintillating battle in the Welsh forests of last month’s Nicky Grist Stages, the Motorsport UK British Rally Championship makes the trip to north east Scotland for round three of series, The Grampian Forest Rally (14 August).

The Banchory based event boasts some of the finest stages in Scotland and marks the first time Britain’s premier rally championship has headed to the area since the 1980’s. Just 15 miles west of Aberdeen, the Grampian will provide crews with action-packed yet flowing gravel tests in the Durris, Fetteresso and Drumtochty forests.

None of the front-running BRC contenders have sampled the popular gravel stages before and the addition of a new event to the BRC roster is likely to unearth even more unpredictability across the BRC leaderboards. With different winners from the two events in all categories so far this season, another new name on the top step of the podium is very much a possibility.

The 2021 season has already provided intensely close competition with the asphalt of Oulton Park opening proceedings at the Neil Howard Stages providing the winning margin of just one second. The `Grist` marked the switch to gravel and was equally as thrilling, this time just a six second margin separated the leaders. With the Kincardineshire stages an unknown endeavour for the title protagonists, watch out for more fireworks than normal as crews battle for supremacy in Scotland.

Double BRC champion Matt Edwards will start the event as the number one seed, fresh from round two victory in his Pirelli-shod Volkswagen Polo GTi. With Darren Garrod on the notes, the all-Welsh pairing proved their adaptability to new machinery, taking their Melvyn Evans Motorsport run Polo to a convincing win over BRC returnee Tom Cave at the Nicky Grist.

It was enough to vault him to the top of the points standings and Edwards believes the Grampian offers up a great opportunity to capitalise on his recent win.

“It certainly doesn’t phase me that I’ve never competed on those stages before,” says Edwards.

“I always tend to go `OK` in new places. I mean, I did ok in Ypres [second BRC crew and top ten on Ypres Rally debut in 2018] and it tends to be a great leveller so I`m happy with that. Notes will be critical as normal, as will the pre-event preparation which I`ve been heavily invested in as always.”

“The stages are fast and flowing with plenty of medium-speed corners, not too many slower sections and the surface looks great. We are only two events in so there is no point in being too safe, but we need to manage risks. I`m looking forward to it. It looks right up my street”.

M-Sport’s Rhys Yates will be looking to get his season back on track after finishing outside of the podium spots in Wales. The Michelin-backed Ford Fiesta Rally2 ace couldn’t quite match the Cave/Edwards battle on home turf but will be hoping that a clean sheet in Scotland will bring him back on form. Yates lies just three points shy of Edwards and a good score will take him and co-driver James Morgan, well into the thick of a title chase.

Two third-place finishes this season have given Osian Pryce a solid start to his year. Another newcomer to the Volkswagen Polo GTi, Pryce has matched team-mate Edwards on times on many occasions and could well stand at the top step of the podium this weekend. Irishman Noel O’Sullivan will guide him on the notes.

In a welcome return to the BRC, four-time title holder Keith Cronin has embarked on a gravel-led campaign in a Fiesta Rally2 and took seventh spot in Wales. Cronin and co-driver Mikie Galvin quickly got to grips with their new Hankook tyres and could well challenge the front runners as the Irishmen acclimatise to the pace of the BRC regulars.

Matthew Wilson was another name to throw his hat into the ring for the first time in many years at the Nicky Grist, driving an M-Sport Fiesta Rally2 for the Cockermouth squad. He will be joined by co-driver Elliott Edmondson in Scotland and will be aiming to help M-Sport close in on the 17-point gap to the Melvyn Evans Motorsport duo in the British Rally Championship for Teams race.

Rounding out the top ten, James Wilson has his sights set firmly on a hard reset of his season. Poor seeding and a time penalty at the Nicky Grist Stages means on paper his season has not been favourable. But with the experienced Arthur Kierans on the notes, the duo’s times have impressed in their Hyundai i20 and it could well be a turning point for their championship.

Round one winners Sam Moffett and Keith Moriarty struggled to catch the Volkswagen’s in Wales, but could well fight back in Scotland and they will be eager to hold onto third in the championship in their Fiesta Rally2.

Cathan McCourt is a late registration with Brian Hoy in the co-drivers seat having recently contested selected rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship and also drives a Fiesta Rally2, whilst Seb Perez/Gary McElhinney and Joseph McGonigle/Ciaran Geaney both sit inside the top twenty in similar machinery.

MOTORSPORT UK NATIONAL RALLY TITLE

Garry Pearson heads-up the Motorsport UK National Rally Title charge and will exchange his Mitsubishi Evo IX for a Skoda Fabia R5 on what is arguably his home BRC event. Pearson has the most experience of the stages in Kincardineshire and after an impressive run at a non-championship Scottish Rally last month, will fight for maximum National points. Pearson and co-driver Niall Burns will not take part in recce to enable them to also score Scottish Rally Championship points, but that’s unlikely to impact the experienced Pearson’s times.

Elliot Payne teams up with Dale Bowen for the first time this season and is fresh from a National victory at the Nicky Grist. An opening-round zero score means Payne is on the back foot in his Fiesta but has shown he has the pace to mix with far more experienced competitors.

Stephen Petch and Michael Wilkinson are at the top of the standings heading into round three but have yet to win a round in their Fiesta WRC. Jason Black and Karl Egan impressed on their gravel debut behind the wheel of their spectacular rear-wheel-drive Toyota Starlet and head to Scotland to gain more valuable miles. Alan Carmichael and Claire Williams are hoping for a less dusty run in Scotland after running behind slower cars in Wales.

JUNIOR BRITISH RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP

Competition in the Junior BRC is always impressive and with contenders vying for a WRC prize drive for the champion, expect more of the same in Scotland.

With round one winner William Creighton tackling the Junior WRC this weekend, it’s round two winners Ruairi Bell and Gareth Parry who lead the ultra-competitive contingent away in their Ford Fiesta Rally4. Bell suffered a nightmare season opener so will be doing everything in his power to continue an impressive pace in Wales and will nominate the event as his Joker bonus points round to capitalise on Creighton’s absence.

It’s fair to say Kyle White and Sean Topping are doing some giant-killing in the Junior BRC this year, taking their older generation Peugeot 208 to the top of the standings after two rounds and mixing with the more powerful Rally4 category cars in the process. They will need to work hard to keep them at bay, however, with Scotsman Finlay Retson in close pursuit.

Retson has the most experience of the Grampian stages from all of the Junior BRC group and could well secure his maiden victory on home turf. Regular co-driver Rhys Stoneman will call the notes in the Fiesta Rally4 and a win here could see him move into the series lead.

David Kelly and Dean O`Sullivan have had a nightmare of a season so far and will be looking to take their first points haul of the season in Scotland. The pace has been there all year, but reliability has caused several issues for the Fiesta Rally4 ace.

In contrast, Eamonn Kelly and Conor Mohan have impressed on both rounds this season and returned a stellar performance on only their second ever gravel rally at the Nicky Grist.

“I think the Grampian will actually level the playing field up a bit,” says Kelly.

“Pacenotes will be key on that rally for sure as it seems a lot more technical than the Grist. I`m still learning gravel but I'm really enjoying it. Conor and I are putting in a lot of preparation for the rallies so it's really rewarding to see us setting fastest times on a surface I`m unfamiliar on. I need to concentrate on getting faster out the blocks and once I’ve done that, I don’t think there is any reason why we are not challenging for the win”.

Brian Brady/Eamonn Creedon were towards the front of the Junior BRC battle in Wales before gearbox dramas halted progress and Eddie Lewis/Dom Adams will also look to find their form on the largely unknown stages.

Johnnie Mulholland/Calum Maguire took the top spot in the Academy Trophy at the season opener but Fraser Anderson/Jack Bowen took the spoils on the gravel to draw level in the championship standings. Aoife Raftery/Dylan Doonan could well move into third in the points tables after the weekend’s stages.

Six stages and 44 stage miles lie ahead for the BRC crews. Sadly due to restrictions in place, spectators are not permitted to event. However, live coverage online and extensive social media updates will bring all the news and gossip from the rally will be broadcast across the BRC social channels.

Grampian Forest Rally Preview

Posted: August 12, 2021 11:56 AM

Just 3 weeks removed from the Scottish Rally the KNC Groundworks Scottish Rally Championship descends on Milton of Crathes this Saturday for the Grampian Forest Rally, round 3 of both the SRC and the British Rally Championship, with a full 120 car entry.

With the late withdrawal of Scottish winners David Bogie & John Rowan, championship leaders Jock Armstrong & Cammy Fair lead the SRC contingent away from the ceremonial start in Banchory from 9am. After an incredibly consistent start to the season with 2 second places, the crew are still adjusting to the Rally 2 Fiesta, with Jock planning a pre-event test to work on both left hand drive and car setup.

Garry Pearson & Niall Burns showed great pace on the Scottish in their 1st event in a Fabia R5 but experienced some bad luck. With both SRC and BRC National points on the line expect a big attack from the Duns driver.

First local driver, Argyll winner Freddie Milne was robbed of a chance to compete on the Scottish with a sensor failure in stage 1. The Fiesta pilot has proven he can win this year and should be one to watch in his home forests.

4th on the Scottish in the Rally 2 Fiesta, Rory Young & Allan Cathers are contesting the Grampian in the latest Rally 3 Fiesta, a 1.5 litre engined, 4wd car designed to be a step below the Rally 2 cars. This will be the 1st time we have seen a car of this spec in Scotland and no-one, including Rory, is sure of how it will go. Rory hoping it will bring back memories of his days in Group N Evos.

We were shown a brief glimpse on the Scottish of the fantastic rivalry between Bruce McCombie & John Wink, tied on time after 2 stages. Now the good friends are set to battle each other in their home forests. With both drivers sponsoring the event as well they will be determined to beat each other, mainly for the bragging rights at the post rally barbecue. That's sure to be a good time....

Also in that mix we have the army of Evos. Michael Binnie, Donnie MacDonald, Scott Beattie, Richard Hill and Scott McCombie are all quick drivers in good cars, capable of challenging the Rally 2s and WRCs.

Ian Forgan & Chris Lees debuted their Fiesta R5 on the gravel on the Scottish and managed a fantastic top 10. With both crew members in the top 3 of the championship points it will be interesting to see how much quicker they can get as they get used to the car.

Heading up the 2wd crews, Mark McCulloch & Michael Hendry have had an almost perfect start to the season with 2 wins out of 2. With fellow fast Escort pilots Keith Robathan & Paul McErlean on the entry list they will have their work cut out to make it 3 out of 3.

Also in the 2wd mix Peter Stewart & Harry Marchbank burst onto the scene with their new 208 R4 on the Scottish. A fantastic debut for the new car saw them grab 2nd in the 2wd ranks and taking an excellent maximum points in the Albyn Garage Challengers category. With the BRC R4 crews in attendance at the Grampian Peter will be very interested to see how the new car compares, along with trying to annoy the big Escorts.

In the SRC Juniors battle it's currently 1 each between Johnnie Mackay & Ewan Tindall. Both drivers have led a round this year and ended up on their roofs. Ewan will be another driver comparing himself to the BRC Juniors in similar machinery whereas Johnnie is looking forward to rekindling his Scottish battle with the MG of Niall Cowan Jnr, the 2 young guns separated by just 5 seconds at the end of the event.

In the Andrew Wood Motorsport Subaru Cup all the championship contenders are on the entry list. Scottish winners Michael Renton & John Shepheard repeating the mantra that the camaraderie amongst the Cup runners is fantastic and they have great fun winding each other up outside of the cars, although once the helmets go on, they are determined to come out on top.

The Grampian has been declared a non-spectator event which is understandably quite frustrating for many people keen to get back out to view the cars in the woods. The SRC Facebook page will once again feature 2 live stages throughout the day to hopefully fulfill your thirst for rallying. Results will also be available throughout the day from flyingfinish.co.uk and you can keep track of the cars progress through the stages via the rallytracking website.
