Yesterday was the fifth round of the Motorsport News Circuit Rally Championship which took place at Snetterton Circuit. It was a tough day’s rallying for me and Jamie, we hit a chicane on the first stage then had problems on stage 3 with banging noises coming from the car every time we changed down a gear so we had to come in a lap early. Issues continued on stage 4 and we had to crawl round in second gear then come in after one lap so got a stage maximum for both stages.

It turned out to be a broken gearbox mount. We were really grateful to Dansport for lending us a welder so the team were able to repair it and get us back out but we had to take it easy for the rest of the afternoon. Luckily by getting a finish we still picked up some good championship points and are sitting 2nd in class heading into the next round at Donington Park.
