Following is a list of the events scheduled for 1998. As the events come and go reviews, results and pictures will be posted...
| February 8th Crofton Comp. Safari (First round of the ANCC Championship, hosted by Yorkshire Rover Owners Club Ltd.) |
A superb event offering a mix of challenging terrain. Finished 2nd in class C7, putting us in 3rd place overall in the ANCC championship. Unfortunately the engine and gearbox gave up the ghost at the end of this event and replacements are being sought... Full Review |
| March 15th Dunsville Comp. Safari (2nd round of the ANCC Championship, hosted by the Northern Off Road Club) |
Following a few teething problems, another good event for us. Some damage to the vehicle but we moved up a position in the ANCC championship. Full Review |
| May 4th Manby Comp. Safari (3rd round of the ANCC Championship, hosted by Lincs Land Rover Club) |
A good event apart from run two where things didn't quite go to plan. Full Review |
| June 7th Tong Comp. Safari (4th round of the ANCC Championship, hosted by Pennine Land Rover Club) |
Another good event marred only by waterproofing problems on the first run. New suspension arrangement paid dividends. |
| June 21st Foxhills, Scunthorpe (5th round of the ANCC Championship, hosted by the Northern Off Road Club) |
Further changes to the suspension improved our handling and hence our lap times. Waterproofing problems appear to be resolved. Unfortunately the transfer box blew apart causing our first retirement in two years... |
| July 10th - 11th Scottish Hill Rally |
Thanks go to Scottish Auto Trader for their sponsorship for this event.
Fuel problems forced our retirement from the main National A event on the Friday. We ran in the National B event on the Saturday, getting our first real taste of a Hill Rally. We finished sixth overall, fourth in class in the National B event. |
| 9th - 11th October Welsh Hill Rally |
A gruelling event that took it's toll - but we finished ! |
