Daniel Mc Kenna the Billy Coleman Award Winner Makes it Four Wins on the Trot

Posted: January 30, 2014 3:25 PM

Daniel and co-driver Arthur Kierans hit their goal of taking a fourth victory in a row in the Rally 2 category of the BRC at the Trakrod rally of Yorkshire after a fantastic battle with their closest championship rivals. The Pickering based event used the classic Yorkshire stages such as Dalby, Langdale and Staindale made famous by the RAC rally having been used for many years by some of the world’s best drivers. After winning the R2 battle at the brilliant event, Daniel and Arthur have really put themselves in pole position to become the R2 champions. Here is how it unfolded.

Daniel and Arthur were in confident mood approaching the start of the event as it began with two night stages which Daniel is very comfortable at, with lots of night time driving under his belt. Daniel has also competed on this event in 2010 and some of the stages for this weekend were the same as 2010, which made it the first time this season Daniel was not at a disadvantage in terms of knowledge. The Scanbitz Ltd and Ravelol Motoroil backed Fiesta R2 was in fine fettle for the event and the whole team were ready for a maximum attack approach to the event.

Daniel hit the ground running on the opening night stages and set the pace ending the first leg of the event with a 15 second lead extracting almost a second a mile from his closest rival, Steve Rokland. Daniel and Arthur’s task now was to control the rally from the lead.
Saturday morning and the crews were greeted to fantastic weather and perfect rally conditions. Daniel again kept up his high pace on the first stage of the morning but this time was a second of the pace, but still held a 15 second lead. On the second stage of the morning, a six mile test Gale Rigg, Daniel felt quite happy with his pace crossing the finishing line of the stage, happy that a healthy lead should still be in tact, but the stage times would tell a different story. Jon Armstrong who lay second had slashed 8 seconds of Daniel’s lead and Steve Rokland had taken 9 to remain third. After a lot of head scratching Daniel took full responsibility and had just been caught napping on the stage.

After a short service the classic 15 miles of Langdale lay ahead and it could possibly decide the outcome of the event despite there being a repeat of the two Friday night stage after it. Daniel decided maximum attack was the only option to try and build on his 6 second lead. Everything was going to plan until about half way through the stage where Daniel had an overshoot losing around five or six seconds but kept his pace up towards the end of the stage hoping he had done enough to hold on to the lead. Daniel surrendered only one second to Armstrong but Rokland really made a move in this stage leaping into 2nd place and cutting Daniel’s lead to a mere 0.1 of a second.

Another short service before tackling the final two stages and Daniel had no intentions of losing his lead that he had worked so hard for on the Friday night. Daniel again went out on maximum attack with no mistakes and really stamped their authority on the battle taking eight seconds out of Rokland and six seconds out of Armstrong on the first of the two last stages. The same approach for the final stage saw Daniel going fastest again to win the event by 11.9 seconds. An added bonus for Daniel and Arthur was that their closest rival for the R2 title Rokland, was beaten to second place by Armstrong on the final stage by 0.1 of a second.

This now gives Daniel and Arthur a 10 point lead over Rokland after dropping their worst score of the season. As a result, if Rokland were to win the final round, Rallye Sunseeker, Daniel and Arthur could afford to finish fifth and still win the championship by one point, which is an even better position than Daniel could have hoped for before the Yorkshire rally.

Daniel will let you all know how preparation is going before the final round with a pre-event press release leading up to the event so keep an eye on his website, danielmckenna.net. In the meantime keep up to date on Daniel’s Twitter and Facebook pages for any updates over the next few weeks.

Pryce keeps his head for win number two

Posted: January 30, 2014 3:23 PM

Rally Yorkshire’s swansong in the MSA British Rally Championship saw young Welshman Osian Pryce and co-driver Dale Furniss take a well deserved second straight victory on this, their second full season in Britain’s premier rally series.

Pickering’s penultimate round of the 2013 BRC season was a real nail biter from start to finish, emulating last year’s event with tenths of seconds splitting the drivers until all but the final group of stages. The lead changed three times, but it was series leaders Jukka Korhonen and Marko Salminen who opened their account with a fastest time in the darkness of Friday night’s Staindale stage.

Pryce had other ideas though; beaten on last year’s event by a tenth of a second on a tie breaker, he was determined to win at all costs, taking the lead in Dalby ahead of the overnight halt.

But the gap was a mere 0.9 of a second to the Finns, Pryce having demoted Alastair Fisher and Gordon Noble to third en route to the top from his initial third place; hardly a comfortable margin, particularly given the illustrious and hungry opposition.

With the crews suitably rested, Saturday dawned bright and breezy and with stage three, Tom Cave and Ieuan Thomas showed their hand with their first fastest time. But in true Rally Yorkshire tradition it wasn’t that clear cut, as they shared the time with Fisher. Meanwhile, Pryce had eked a lead of 2.7 seconds over Korhonen, but the Finns were having none of it, retaking the overall lead on the very next stage, despite being beaten by Fisher and Cave.

After gloves-off battles in the stages, the relative tranquillity of the service area beckoned with time for crews to muster for the longest stage of the rally. At fifteen miles, most considered Langdale could effectively decide the event and sure enough Korhonen had a big push.

Five seconds was the biggest margin between the leading duo so far, but Pryce’s pre-event determination was evident as they headed back out for the final pair of stages. Making his mark, he banged in a storming time given the length of the stage, quicker than both Fisher and Korhonen by five and six seconds respectively.

Thus it was Pryce who led ahead of the final test and the relentless pressure finally got to Korhonen. He stalled the car on the start line, which, under other circumstances might not have been so important, but with such close margins, ten seconds must have seemed a lifetime as they fought to restart the Citroën.

Unaware of his rival’s slip-up, Pryce assumed that he still needed to push hard. And push hard he did, besting Fisher by nearly six seconds to end the event with a winning margin of nearly ten seconds, Fisher closing to within three of Korhonen, but having to settle for third.

The 20 year old from Machynlleth in North Wales was understandably delighted at the finish in Pickering:

“The competition has been fantastic but I’m glad it’s over. We knew we just had to go for it after being so close last year. I’m not sure how we did it though, because he (Korhonen) has been trying really hard too. It has been a great experience.”

While Pryce cannot now take the title, the top three in the standings, Korhonen, Fisher and Cave, fourth in Yorkshire, all still have a mathematical chance of victory in the 2013 series. Realistically however, it is the Finn’s to lose, as he just needs a finish in the top dozen or so to secure the overall and Citroën Racing Trophy titles in Poole next month.

Reigning Pirelli Star Driver Mark Donnelly took a respectable fifth, but he and Dai Roberts were slightly disappointed not to pop the DGM Sport DS3 on the podium again, having been buoyed by third in Ulster.

Citroën UK put the MSA British Manufacturers Rally Championship beyond the reach of any late-comers with a clean sweep of the podium. The Citroën DS3 R3T has already proved itself as a fast and reliable car, but continues to impress at the hands of some of the best drivers, once again unstoppable in Yorkshire.

The MSA British Junior Rally Championship and Twingo Renaultsport R1 Trophy are inseparable this season. Ben & Jason Mckay led after four events and rivals Harry Threlfall/Andy Bull were determined to take victory. They set about it in fine style, putting nearly a minute between the crews in the dark when Mckay was disadvantaged by a lack of lamp-pod after a technical challenge from their rivals left them on normal lights. It was technical failure that eventually decided the result though, Threlfall’s driveshaft crying enough on the start line of the final stage.

The BRC Teams Cup features the DS3 exclusively, Alastair Fisher posting maximum points for DGM Sport ahead of Tom Cave’s Morris Lubricants DMS-run car. But John MacCrone and Phil Pugh’s impressive return after their massive Ulster shunt was made possible by sterling work by their Culina Palletforce Racing team, their sixth place just enough to keep second place within their grasp on the final round.

Daniel McKenna and Arthur Kierans may have taken their fourth straight BRC RallyTwo victory in Yorkshire, but the win was almost as hard fought as that for overall honours. The 2012 Billy Coleman Award-winning Irishman hit the ground running, beating BRC returnee Timmy Cathcart & Martin Brady by over six seconds. But the darkness claimed the fellow Fiesta crew on stage two, the pair forced to re-start using Super rally rules which carries a hefty time penalty.

Four stages down and it seemed that McKenna had the gap pegged at around fourteen seconds to Ulster Pirelli Star Driver nominee Jon Armstrong and new co-driver Karl Atkinson. But they and main title rivals Steve Røkland & James Aldridge clearly had other ideas.

Closing the gap stage-by-stage, Røkland overhauled Armstrong to lie just a tenth adrift of the lead by stage five of seven. But McKenna literally rallied, stretching the gap to twelve seconds by the finish, while Armstrong pulled a blinder in the very last stage, sneaking 0.1 seconds ahead of Røkland to take a last-gasp second place.

In the Fiesta SportTrophy McKenna has the advantage over Norwegian Røkland too. His nine point margin also puts the one-make series title beyond the reach of Alex Parpottas, but a top three finish in such a competitive series must be a feather in his cap.

The Fiestas have been a rich source of Pirelli Star Driver nominations this year and Yorkshire was no different. Ably guided by Jamie Edwards, Parpottas was the fifth Ford pilot to go forward to the end of season shootout, impressing the judges with a mature drive to fourth RallyTwo behind the frenetic battle for the lead.

Jon Armstrong extended his lead in the RAVENOL Oils Newcomers Trophy with top points in Yorkshire. He now leads Ben Mckay by 12 points, third-placed David Carney failing to finish the event when a driveshaft broke on his Citroën C2.

In recognition of the efforts of John MacCrone’s team, the Scot took the Mantis Performance Car Care award and cheque for £250, for what was undeniably the tidiest (a newly built DS3) car on the event.

Edwards takes WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship finale

Posted: January 30, 2014 3:15 PM

Matt Edwards and Elliott Edmondson ended the West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C Rally Championship season in style with a hard fought win on the Trackrod Pre-87 and Historic Cup (Friday/Saturday 27/28 September), beating Ford Escort Mk2 legend Steve Bannister on his home Yorkshire stages.

The rally covered five stages on the North York moors and forests, with two tests on Friday evening and three more on Saturday. Escort Mk2 driver Edwards did all the hard work on Friday night's two stages in Staindale and Dalby, opening a 30.7s overnight lead over Bannister in the Rob Smith Rallying Series 3.

"I did my homework," said Edwards. "I spent ages watching the route DVD, studying the notes and triple-checking the light pods. We changed tyres between the two stages too. I knew I could make a different in the dark, but I said I'd have been happy to end the night 30 seconds behind Banner - not 30 seconds ahead."

Bannister lost time with a stall, but admitted that he just couldn't get into the rhythm, and was at a loss to understand why. He finished the night just 4.6s ahead of Escort Mk1 crew Richard Hill and Pat Cooper, who were heading the Capital Construction Series 2.

It was clear and surprisingly warm on Saturday, and with his handling now sorted Bannister went on a charge in his favourite forests. He set fastest time on SS3, Cropton, aided when Edwards dropped ten seconds with a half-spin. Bannister reduced the gap again in SS4, Gale Rigg. But Edwards wasn't to be denied, pushing hard in Langdale. While Bannister was fastest again, Edwards returned to Pickering Showground the winner by 11.9s. For Edwards it marked a fine turnaround from his last visit to Yorkshire, when his Escort Mk2's engine blew on the opening stage of last year's Roger Albert Clark Rally.

"I nearly didn't come, to be honest," said Edwards. "Yorkshire hasn't been kind to me in the past, but I knew I needed to confront my demons at some point. Geoff Jones kindly gave me some tyres and helped me out, which is a big reason why I could go, and it paid off. It's a rally man's ultimate ambition to beat Banner in Yorkshire, and to be in that position is something I never thought would be possible. I was mentally exhausted by the end of the final stage. It's a unique experience and the highlight of my rallying career so far."

For his part, Bannister was gracious after a rare defeat: "It was much better today," he said.
"We had the odd scare here and there, but we struggled to catch Matt. It was a really good fight for the whole event." Unfortunately, Hill's fine efforts on Friday came to nothing when a mechanical failure put him out of the third place he had held all event on the final stage in Langdale.

The beneficiaries of Hill's misfortune were local driver Tim Pearcey and his Scottish co-driver Neil Shanks. They had ended Friday's leg in fifth behind Tomas and Eurig Davies, having lost time with a fuel tank problem. "The foam that sits at the bottom of the tank worked loose on stage one and was causing the engine to misfire," explains Shanks. While the issue cleared for stage two, Pearcey's team elected to change the tank overnight. They borrowed a replacement unit, and worked until 1am to fit it. Their hard work was repaid when Pearcey overtook Davies on SS4 to claim third. "Friday was a disaster, but we recovered due to hard work by the team," said Pearcey. "The tank we borrowed didn't really fit, so we had to bodge it in place a bit."

Warren Philliskirk and Nigel Hutchinson finished fifth in their Escort Mk2, with Hutchinson admitting that Friday's night stages were a challenge. "We got caught in Tim Pearcey's dust on the first test, which made it even harder to see," he said. "We could do with a pair of 20-year younger eyes between us." James Potter and Bob Duck, who were sixth of the WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship to finish, also had visibility problems in their Escort Mk2, although these were caused by Potter forgetting to switch his spotlights on for the second stage. "It's a shame, because we had a brand new set of spotlights and they seemed very good," said Potter.

There was bad luck for rising star Ben Mellors and Alex Lee, who crashed heavily on the fourth stage, Gale Rigg, in their Pinto-powered Escort Mk2. The stage was stopped so that medical crews could attend, and Mellors was taken to hospital with a broken ankle. He had been released from hospital by Saturday evening. Maximum D3 points went to the Escort Mk2 of Paul Fry and Mike Steele.

With Hill's retirement, Porsche 911 crew Tim Mason and Graham Wild claimed honours in Series 2 for cars built between 1968 and '74, finishing just over a minute ahead of Vince Bristow and Tim Sayer's C2 winning Ford Escort Mexico. Mason had his own mechanical dramas on the final stage. "We lost second gear on the final stage, but we were able to nurse it home," said Mason. Close behind Bristow were C3 winners David Kirby and Chris Rixon (Escort Mk1) after Terry Cree and Richard Shores crashed out in their BMW 2002.

Steve Perez and John Millington had made a steady start in their Lancia Stratos, but jumped up to third in class on Saturday's opening stage before a mechanical problem sidelined him on the final test. Meanwhile, in C5 it was Barry Jordan and James Gratton-Smith who won narrowly from Chris Browne and Ali Cornwell-Browne.

John Everard/Mark Sharpley were the top WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship registered crew to finish in the Walker Diecastings Series 1 in their beautiful Alfa Romeo Junior GT.
"We lost the starter motor early in on Saturday, so we had to push start it a few times," said Everard. "We had no service crew so we didn't bother fixing it. The stages were superb."

Manx driver Stephen Higgins and Richard Simpson were second registered Series 1 finishers, and won Class B1 in their Saab 96 2 Stroke. They'd had a terrible start when the only gear they could select on the start line of stage one was reverse. They eventually found third and limped through the stage before the problem fixed itself near the end of the test. "It was a bad start, but a fantastic finish," said Higgins.

Peter Egerton and Alun Cook topped the Martin Jones Transmissions Series 4 for FIA Appendix K cars in their Escort Mk2. Tom Coughtrie and Calvin Cooledge were second in their similar machine after another of their increasingly impressive runs.

The Trackrod Pre 87 and Historic Cup, organised by Trackrod Motor Club, ended the inaugural WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship in style with a compact and well-run event. The slick organisation won praise from competitors, who also appreciated the lack of road mileage. The event also gave crews an early chance to sample some of the Yorkshire stages that will form a key part of the Roger Albert Clark Rally.

Daniel Mc Kenna the Billy Coleman Award Winner Aims to Stretch his Championship Lead in Yorkshire

Posted: September 25, 2013 12:43 PM

Daniel, co-driver Arthur Kierans and his team are making the goal of securing another win with The Scanbitz Ltd and Ravenol Motoroil supported Ford Fiesta R2 in the Trakrod Rally of Yorkshire this weekend. Although Daniel has a 7 point lead in the BRC Rally 2 category, over main title rival Steve Rokland, he will not be playing the full championship game just yet, as the BRC requires all competitors to drop their worst score, and on the final round of the championship, Rallye Sunseeker, points and a half are up for grabs.

This means that even though Daniel can afford to drive at a steady pace on the final two rounds by securing specific points to secure the R2 championship, a simple puncture could blow that approach out of the water. As a result, Daniel has vowed to approach the upcoming event with full commitment to try and take his 4th R2 win on the trot.

This then would really put Daniel and Arthur in prime position to take the championship crown on the final round. Other reasons for Daniel’s approach to this event are that he has competed on this event in the past and has some knowledge of the stages which he has not had on any of the rounds so far this year which gives him good confidence. Also as this is the third round of the championship on gravel, Daniel has grown both in speed and in confidence on his least preferred surface and after a comprehensive test last week to finalise set up for the event he is ready to take the fight to the gravel experts in Yorkshire.

Always in the back of Daniel’s mind is the upcoming Pirelli Star Driver shootout at the end of the year, where he hopes to be a strong contender for the fantastic 2014 prize. If Daniel can prove that he has the pace to win on both tarmac and gravel without having any problems and take the R2 championship in the process, he feels it will give him the best chance to perhaps win the much coveted award.

Another highlight for Daniel since the Ulster Rally is that he has become the most recent nominee of the BRC Live Media Trophy and will join the other nominees at an end of season competition at World Rally preparation experts, Prodrive in Banbury where the winner will get to drive JCW Mini S2000 which is an again, another amazing opportunity.

Daniel will let you all know how the event unfolds with a post-event press release next week so keep an eye on his website, danielmckenna.net. In the meantime keep up to date on Daniel’s Twitter and Facebook pages for any updates over the rally weekend.

BRC Preview

Posted: September 20, 2013 8:46 AM

As Rally Yorkshire kicked off in 2012, who knew that the classic North Yorkshire Forest stages would witness the closest finish in the MSA British Rally Championship’s history?

Certainly not eventual winner Tom Cave; certainly not runner-up Osian Pryce. But there it was, a dead heat, ultimately decided by the driver who was fastest on the opening stage by a tenth of a second.

Although the 2013 event will be the last as part of the MSA British Rally Championship, the chances of a repeat of such a nail-biting finish at its swansong are not that distant. The front-runners Citroën DS3s are identical, their Pirelli tyres are identical, their Sunoco fuel is identical and the level of commitment is – well let’s say on a par, to avoid repetition.

Two events this year have been decided by a handful of seconds, the closest the Jim Clark Rally where a missed gear-change separated the top pair – just two seconds after an hour and a half of flat out motoring. Proof, as if proof were needed, that the series is more competitive than it has ever been. And proof that watching these cars driven flat out through the darkness of Dalby Forest will be a sight to behold.

After two gravel events and two on asphalt, the championship advantage is with the 2011 Pirelli Star Driver Jukka Korhonen. After vowing to win the title at the end of last year, the Finn opened his account with two wins on the trot. But had it not been for Pirelli Rally punctures (the irony is not lost on us either!) it could have been a very different story.

Despite favouring gravel, he and Marko Salminen were on top form on the Jim Clark Rally, pipping the heroes of Yorkshire 2012 Tom Cave/Ieuan Thomas by two seconds for win number two.

When the crews moved from Scottish tarmac to Scottish gravel he was bested by young Ulsterman Alastair Fisher and his experienced co-driver Gordon Noble. They climbed a place from third, but were clearly disappointed not to win, the Finnish desire for victory still very evident.

Sadly for Fisher his chances of repeating his first ever BRC win were dashed with a crash on the event’s second stage. Gutted, he re-started to uphold local honours, but would finish fifteenth –surely a dropped score at the end of the season.

The ding-dong battle that could have formed between Korhonen and Osian Pryce/Dale Furniss never really materialised. Pryce was on top form and coupled with the Finns’ desire to grab valuable points after Cave too left the fray, the Welshman grabbed the victory that eluded him in Yorkshire last year.

The battle for the overall honours has not been the only story of the championship. The BRC RallyTwo title is also hotly contested. All cars outside the top R3 class are eligible and it looked like it could go any way early on.

Norwegian Steve Røkland with English co-driver James Aldridge set the early pace with a win in Kielder. But Scots Garry Pearson and Tom Hynd second would be followed by two retirements. Third on that occasion were Irish duo Daniel McKenna and Arthur Kierans. But despite problems on each subsequent event they have been victorious, pulling out a seven point lead in the title fight.

Chris Ingram, Ruary MacLeod and Røkland have taken the runners-up spots when McKenna took the spoils, with Røkland, Ulsterman Timmy Cathcart and Englishman Alex Parpottas taking the final podium steps on rounds two, three and four respectively.

With so many podium-sitters, it makes for a real page-turner on each event – no doubt Rally Yorkshire will be no different.

In the BRC Teams Cup, DGM Sport have benefitted from good finishes by both Alastair Fisher and Mark Donnelly to lead by four points from Morris Lubricants DMS. The second placed team’s lone scorer Tom Cave has one win in the category to DGM’s three, but left alone after round one, John MacCrone has struggled to keep Culina Palletforce Racing in the hunt with punctures, mechanical issues and a monumental accident.

The 2012 Pirelli Star Driver winner Mark Donnelly is driving a Citroën DS3 R3T as his prize for impressing at last year’s shootout – a dream result for a youngster who has ticked all the right boxes in the BRC over the last few years. Still just 22, he and Dai Roberts have taken a little time to adjust to the flappy paddle gearbox and 1600cc turbo car. But they seem to have found a sweet spot with third on home asphalt last time out.

The nominations for this year’s coveted Pirelli-funded prize have been awarded thus: Pirelli Richard Burns Foundation Rally - Steve Røkland, Jim Clark Rally - Daniel McKenna, RSAC Scottish Rally - Ruary MacLeod, Todds Leap Rally NI - Jon Armstrong. Who next?

The MSA British Junior Rally Championship and Twingo Renaultsport R1 Trophy UK points tables are identical - a fight between Ben Mckay and Harry Threlfall. Mckay has three wins on the trot to his and co-driving dad Jason’s credit. However all the events are new to both crews this year, so it the prestigious titles are still all to play for.

Citroën UK continues to dominate the MSA British Manufacturers Championship and the high-stakes Citroën Racing Trophy UK. Results and points tables follow those of the overall events and championship, the top four locked out by the DS3. McKenna took a hat-trick of Fiesta SportTrophy maximums on the Jim Clark, Scottish and Rally NI, moving five points clear of Røkland.

Despite a crash while holding an awe inspiring third overall on Todds Leap Rally NI, local lad Jon Armstrong maintains a six point lead over southern counterpart David Carney in the RAVENOL Oils Newcomers Trophy. Carney’s win in Ulster now moves him into a clear second, albeit only two points ahead of Mckay.

The Mantis Best Presented Car Award has gone to three Fiesta crews so far. Garry Pearson taking the £250 cheque, trophy and Mantis products on round one, Kit and Tim Leigh were deemed the best turned out on round two, while Enniskillen’s Timmy Cathcart’s Fiesta was deemed showroom standard in Scotland. The award is voted on by championship scrutineers before each event – the challenge for the crews is to keep them like that until the end!

With all the classes, cups and categories to fight for, new stages and new challenges face many of the crews in Enniskillen, but one thing is for sure – they won’t have time to look at the stunning scenery!

Rally Yorkshire info

The event will be based at the newly refurbished Pickering Showground (www.pickeringshowground.co.uk, postcode YO18 8EA), approximately one mile south of Pickering on the A169.

The rally begins with cars on display, autographs and a ceremonial start in Pickering Market Place from 17:30 on Friday 27th September. First away at 18:30 will be the Trackrod Historic Cup, followed by the BRC Challenge and finally the main BRC Rally Yorkshire competitors departing Pickering from 20:30.

The first special stage will take place in Dalby Forest including the famous Dalby Woodyard, which will not be floodlit to give that real night-stage feel, with spectators able to view the action from 20:30.

The Trackrod Challenge Rally finishes back at Pickering Showground on Saturday at lunchtime, with the BRC running another two stages to finish just before 5pm.
