Rally UK » Higgins heads 'best entry of year' on the Border.

Friday, 28th March 2008

Higgins, Dodd, Burton, Ingram, Moore, Girvan, Johnson, Reynolds, Horne, Morrow, and Bogie will all take in the Border Counties Rally next weekend.

Leading the charge in the Mitsubishi Ralliart Evo Challenge is young Scot David Bogie, who will be looking for success once again and he'll be keen to score as many championship points in both this and the Scottish Championship in which he currently lies fourth.

So too will Irishman Richard Cathcart who doubles up in both series - but with 2007 Mitsubishi winner Phillip Morrow in the field, their work will be made a lot harder. Sebastian Ling, Nik Elsmore and Daniel Barry are all expected to go well on the event which last year, saw a tenth of a second between Morrow in first and second placed Ling.

Other names to watch out for are: 2007 BTRDA champion Tristan Pye (Subaru), Icelander Daniel Sigurdarson and 2007 Fiesta Sporting Trophy winner Jonathan Greer (Mitsubishi).

Rallying veterans Charlie Payne (Mitsubishi WRC), Steve Bannister (Ford Escort Mk2) and comeback driver Brian Bell (Ford Focus) all add to the spice and with George McDonald's Super 1600cc Opel Corsa running at the front of the 1600cc field, the scene is set for a fantastic event.

"I don't think we'll see a better entry on a British event this year," enthused Clerk of the Course Paul Hughes. "We've reached our maximum capacity and it looks like it's going to be an absolutely cracking event with battles right the way down the field."

Comprising rounds of many major 2008 championships including the Pirelli MSA Gravel Rally Championship, the Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge, the Subaru Group N Trophy as well as the County Saab MSA Scottish Rally Championship, top crews from all over the country as well as some European visitors will be hoping for a good run on the event. In addition, a National B and 'Mini' Rally will run concurrently to the main event.
