Ecosse Sponsored 106 Rally Car

With the added support of Ecosse Brian Pringle and David Marshall are sitting 2nd in their class and an amazing 7th overall in the Scottish Tarmack Championship. With the expert advice from Tom on brake pad compound the 106 ex Cup Car performed well in the opening 2 events, Charterhall in the Borders and the DCC stages at Ingliston.

At Charterhall The crew had their best ever class finish, picking up thier first trophy for finishing 3rd in class. The car was faultless throughout the day with most problems being due to no visibilty because of the dust, with a few moments flat out in top with NO visibility. We passed several cars on the stages and found out the width of the gates. The width of a 106 sideways and about 1 1/2 inch either side!!!!. On the last 4 stages we even managed to catch a Subaru Impreza that started the stage 30 seconds in front.

The car is looking great in its new livery again much thanks to ecosse, and as a result attracted a lot of interest.

Ingliston was a more sobering effect with a broken gearbox mount after a heavy landing after a flat out in 4th jump on the 8th stage causing us to lose some time and droppng us down the field. however the service crew done an excellent job to get us back on the road, minus the sump guard that had also been damaged. This cost us some time, but we still mannaged to come 3rd. in class for the championship and 7th in class for the rally.

Now its time for maintenance and preperation before our next rally The Jim Clark which will take place in July in the Borders with a special spectator srtage at ocean terminal in Edinburgh.

Before that however the car will be at the Perth Motorshow on the 25th May at the Agricultural centre at Crieff Road.
We also plan a couple of sprints at Kaimes, some testing at Crail and possibly a hill climb at Forrestburn.
