21st Leukaemia Historic Rally
Ecurie Cymraeg
12th May 2012
Clerk of the Course: Steve Durbin
Route: 160 Miles + 18 Tests
Maps: 161 & 171
Starters: 53
Winners: Martin Neal/Richard Dix (Ford Escort Mexico)
Martin Neal/Richard Dix became the fourth winners in four rounds of the HRCR Clubmans Championship; they won a close contest on the Leukaemia Historic Rally. After 18 Tests and seven Regularities six crews were separated by less than a minute. None of the tests were at Caerwent which has been the meat of the event in the past.
Dave Harris/Matt Fowle led at the lunch halt but retired in the afternoon with a suspected head gasket failure. Neal/Dix moved from fifth at halfway to head the relatively inexperienced crew of Matthew Warren/Jessica Dickenson by 18 seconds at the Finish. James Griffiths/James Howell took third just two seconds off the runner up spot.
Simon Harris/Russell Joseph easily won the Leukaemia Endurance Rally on what was the navigator’s first Regularity event for five years. Their penalties were only two seconds less than Neal/Dix in the Historic Rally.
