Hamilton Gets It Right In the British Forests
Barbados Rally Club (BRC) chairman Mark Hamilton enjoyed his first experience of forestry stages when he was among 66 drivers contesting the final round of the British Historic Rally Championship, at Trackrod Rally Yorkshire, in the north of England last Saturday (October 6). Highlight of the weekend was clocking the fastest time in his class on the purpose-built half-mile stage at the Pickering Showground, and finishing second overall on that stage to the veteran David Stokes (Ford Escort MkI), who went on to be crowned British Historic Rally Champion at the end-of-day prize-giving. Stokes clocked 40.1 seconds, with Hamilton just one-tenth of a second behind, and exactly half-a-second quicker than the next car in his class, the Escort RS1600 of Jason Lepley.
