Three-time British champion takes gold on round two.

Matt Cotton's trip from Cornwall was worth the effort after his huge shunt on the Pirelli. He took second place, Matt's biggest battle was with himself, overcoming the memory of the end-over-end accident back in April. Third in the Citroens was regular Martin Roberts, although he had to cope with an intermittent misfire for the whole event, not really getting any rhythm.

The Suzuki Swift Sport Cup made up the whole of the Rally 1 class, seven cars starting the event. Mark Gamble took the honours, albeit with a decidedly second hand looking car. He had some excursions to the scenery on both days, but still managed to hold off the constant pressure from Irishman Ross Forde. The pair had swapped seconds for the whole event, Forde just 12 seconds back after a valiant fight. Third in the one make series was Danish crew Niki Bjerg/Arly Larsen; the Danish Federation driver commenting that it was the best rally he had ever contested.
