Higgins makes successful return to roots.

Monday, 5th August 2002

Mark Higgins, making a welcome return to the 2002 Pirelli British Rally Championship in a rented David Greer Toyota Corolla WRC, and co-driven by Craig Thorley, drove immaculately to win a very tough Manx International Rally by over four minutes from Irish Tarmac Champion Andrew Nesbitt's Impreza WRC.

Five down, two to go. Next it's the third tarmac event, the Ulster Rally (6-7 September), and if last weekend is anything to go by, the action will be just as furious and the outcome just as unpredictable. Mark Higgins and brother David will be rallying in the USA, so Jonny Milner and Alistair Ginley will (in theory at any rate) have a slightly easier task. Will the drivers Championship be decided then, or will we have to wait for the Trackrod Rally Yorkshire?
