Marcus Dodd emerged as the winner of one of the toughest rounds of the 2006 ANCRO Gravel Rally Championship as he took a finely judged victory on the Swansea Bay Rally in South Wales at the weekend.

Despite a string of five fastest class times for Stephen Petch Jr Julian Reynolds took a fine Production Class victory, whilst Petch was more than happy to have taken maximum Mitsubishi Evo cup points. "This makes up for the bad luck we had on the Jim Clark recently," enthused a very happy Petch Jr.

Young Norwegian Mikkelsen was a bit disheartened: "I'm a little disappointed not to have won, but the first stage was just crazy! I'm pleased we made up most of the time lost with our overshoot and the car was fantastic all day."

The championship now has a bit of a summer break before resuming on the Park Systems Rally in South Scotland on September 9.
