Bentham’s David
Wright is aiming for more success next weekend when he contests the
Plains rally in his Kumho Tyres and Grove Hill Garage-backed Ford
Focus WRC.
On his last outing,
the Malcolm Wilson rally in Cumbria, Wright finished second overall
after a final stage driveshaft failure cost him a victory so his
ultimate aim is to go one better on the Plains.
“Second was a
great result but we were so near to getting the win,” said Wright.
“It was very disappointing to have the problem, especially as we
were so near to the finish.”
“The Plains will
be a tough event, the stages are very fast and there are some huge
drops if you get it wrong. It will be difficult to get a win as we’re
up against some much more modern cars than our Focus but we’ll give
it our best shot.”
“My co-driver
Steve Pugh has a lot of experience of the stages used on the event so
that will be a great help. Thanks to GPM, Grove Hill Garage, Kumho
Tyres, Proflex and Drenth for their help and support.”
The rally, which is
a round of the BTRDA championship, starts from Welshpool and the
crews will face several stages in Dyfi and Gartheiniog forests.
