Hull’s Tim Rodgers will make his return to rally competition next Saturday (17th October) when he contests the Cambrian rally in a Nissan Micra. The car has recently been built by Rally4Real.com for their hire fleet and it will run in the popular low-budget Rally First class of the BTRDA championship.
Rodgers has not competed on a stage event since last years Plains rally and he is keen to return to the forests.
"It’ll be great to be out competing again. We’re doing the event to test the new car so we’re not expecting too much," said Rodgers.
"The aim is to get to the finish. The competition in Rally First is very close so to get a good result would be a bonus."
Rodgers and co-driver Paul Woodford will form part of a three car Rally4Real.com supported team – they will be accompanied by Rally First champion Dave Bennett in his Vauxhall Corsa and Tony Simpson who will be out in a Volkswagon Polo 1400.
The Cambrian rally is based in Llandudno and features 45 miles of competitive action in the forests of Clocaenog and Penmachno. The event is the final round of the BTRDA championship and it has attracted a high quality entry, including several crews from the World Rally championship.
