One of the early entries received by the organisers off the Rally Marketing Mid Wales Historic Stages, Newtown & District Automobile Club Ltd, has come from Phil & Mick Squires in their Ford Escort MkII. Having achieved great success in the ‘modern’ BTRDA Rally Series, winning the two-wheel drive Silver Star Championship in 2004, the Stoke-on-Trent twins moved across to the MSA British Historic Rally Championship several seasons ago. Their 2012 campaign will start in Newtown on 4th March but, in an entry thus far dominated by Escorts of various sorts, they know that they will have their work cut out!
Entered in a similar car and in the same class are Nick Elliott co-driver Dave Price, from Cheltenham, and the Squires brothers won’t need reminding that Elliott won the Mid Wales Historic Stages outright in 2010 and then missed out by a mere second last year when Julian Reynolds (Haverfordwest) pipped him to the post!
The 2010 & 2011 MSA British Historic Rally Champions, David Stokes (Dursley) & Guy Weaver in their MkI Ford Escort RS1600, begin the defence of their title in Mid Wales, hoping for a repeat performance of last year when they won their category, opening their account in the series with a maximum score.
