After feeling guilty for leaving the auction early we took the long road (M5) 🤣 down to Pembrey Circuit for the Fairfield Memorial Stages on Sunday the 23rd of July.
 
The journey was hampered by wet weather causing the trailer lights to blow a fuse in the van leaving us with no trailer lights at all, making us gate crash a local garage to try and sort the issue and stay out of the weekly Welsh monsoon 🤦‍♂️.
 
We finally arrive at Pembrey at 10:30 pm with only a few lights on the trailer working and a 8 and a half hour journey under our belts 🤦‍♂️. We awake Sunday morning fresh as a daisy 🤣 with a mission in mind, finish the rally to gain valuable championship points.
 
As it turned out it was our day gaining top points finishing the rally first overall in the F1000 Rally Club championship. Dukeries Motor Club TOYO TIRES Toyo Tires
