I can assure you a WRC car hasn’t won a national event for a very long time

@@fordgtcrazy My point was and still is, guys with huge budgets doing single-venue events in 150 grand essentially works car is just 'pot hunting', i watched a SV event the other week on Ynys Môn, the majority of the top twenty were running cars that were capable of winning a national event with a good driver. Thats one of the reasons i went back to road rallying and put the Gp4 escort back in the garage. Cheers for the comment by the way.

@@AnthonyJones-vk6xq I remember circa 2004/5/6 Jon Ingram doing a single venue at Ynys Môn racetrack in a quite fresh Subaru WRC. It was a 2 day event. He suffers from engine problems late Saturday afternoon. Helicopter flies in with a new engine from Prodrive on Saturday evening which was then fitted in his car overnight!!! Long live the clubman...

@@careyroberts3924 Jon is a solicitor or at least he was when i knew him, his brother sponsored me when i was doing the BTRDA championship back in the eighties ! I remember watching Ingram, Beecroft and Co when the Motoring News road rally championship was still running, it was a sight to see these guys flying down the lanes in Wales. Happy days ! Mwynha'r penwythnos.....

@@AnthonyJones-vk6xq He was into Property Development at the time of the Anglesey extravagance. Doing very well at it by all accounts fair play to him. His son Chris is a talented driver as testified by him winning the ERC 3 or 4 years ago and latterly his performances in WRC2 over the last couple of years... I remember Beecroft, Ingram, Egglestone, King et al in the Motoring News road rally championship. I have a few photos of Jon in his red white and blue ICE Sunbeam in a box somewhere in the attic... As you say, happy days...Pob bendith a penwythnos hapus i ti hefyd gyfaill ;-) Diolch...
