Speaking after the event, Clark said; “I love the new car. We had a few handling problems to begin with but the Junior Rallying mechanics worked hard and we managed to sort these out by the end of the event. You can see this in the results, where we went from 81st overall at the end of the first day to 52nd by the end of the event. The roads on this event were fantastic and I can't wait for the next rally, at the end of June.”
Conor Flynn enjoyed a good start to the event but was soon hampered by road penalties picked up at the beginning of the rally, which affected his road position on the second day. These penalties were eventually cancelled-out and while they no longer affected the overall result, still took their toll on the conditions he faced, with dust from previous cars hanging in the air and impairing his vision. Despite this, Flynn went on to finish the event in 57th place overall and 14th in class.
“I'm very pleased that I was leading the Junior Rallying drivers at the overnight halt, especially as my car is more standard than the others. We had an excellent recce and I learned a lot, as the stages on this event were very different in nature from the first rally I did with Junior Rallying. They are much faster and more flowing and I'm pleased that my pace notes worked well on them. We had a small misfire that developed over the course of the event so we will need to attend to that before the next rally but generally, I'm very happy to have finished my second ever rally inside the top 60.”
Dom Scott, 14 years old from Herefordshire and son of BTRDA regular Gary, was competing on his first-ever event and enjoyed a trouble-free run until the last stage. The gearbox on his father's Vauxhall Nova lost fourth gear but Dom and co-driver Mike Scrimgour simply relied on third gear to get through the final stage of the event and return to the finish ramp in the centre of Tukums in an excellent 53rd overall and 9th in class, just 1.2 seconds behind Tom Clark.
