Bullnose Rally 2002

Oxford Motor Club

7th/8th September 2002



Clerk of the Course: David Smith

Route: 120 Miles

Maps: 173 & 174

Starters: 37

Winners: Mike Biss/Cath Woodman (Peugeot 205 GTi)




Mike Biss/Cath Woodman took their fifth win of the season on Oxford MC's Bullnose Rally. The event used a 120 mile route which started and finished at the Membury Service Area. The route formed a figure of eight with the M4 service area at the crux. Many fast B-roads were used, but crews also had to tackle around eight miles of whites on the Lambourne Downs. Fog was a problem on some sections.

Thirty-seven crews took the start, including twelve in the Clubmans section. All were to finish the event. There had been three non-starters from the original full entry.

Biss/Woodman once again showed their skill on southern navigational events by cleaning all of the standard sections. The eleven seconds they dropped on the one regularity section was the only penalty they incurred all night. The Semi-Expert crew of Jo Simmons/Rob Watson took the runner up spot, dropping three minutes on the standard sections but just twenty-five seconds on the regularity.

Phil Collings/Mark Collings also picked up three minutes penalty on the standard sections, but were almost two minutes out at the regularity control and so were placed third. Rob Dance/Graham Dance took fourth to make it a Peugeot 205 GTi 1-2-3-4, in fact the French marque filled the first six places. Andy Coshan/Zip Zerahan were seventh in a Talbot Sunbeam.

The winners of the Novice Class were Christopher Stratton/Marti Moore, who finished in thirteenth place overall in their Rover Metro GTi.

The Clubmen were given simplier navigation and this allowed the leading crew, David Edmunds/Dominic Jeans, to finish in what would have been eighth overall position in their Toyota Corolla. They were almost thirty minutes ahead of second in class Rob Aslett/Ceri Owen; a last minute pairing, Aslett/Owen were competing in yet another Peugeot 205 GTi.
