2023/11 - Neil Howard Stages Rally (1 image) - created by Adge on 22/07/2025 at 16:34:41
November 4th saw the RED Industries, Adgespeed backed Subaru Impreza WRC S11 replica of Adrian Spencer and Mark Hewitt enter the Salford Van Hire Neil Howard Stages rally held at the Oulton Park Race circuit in Cheshire. Seeded at car 11 out of 100 cars entered it was going to be a challenging event which uses the race circuit, handling circuit, gravel perimeter tracks and water splash especially in the wet and slippery conditions which greeted the crews.

Unfortunatley misjudging the split at the end of the 1st stage meant Adrian and Mark had to do another lap of the stage. This dropped them down to 89th O/A and 9th in class.

Undeterred Adrian and Mark set off for stage 2 a repeat of stage 1 and not making any errors this time, set the 7th fastest time, just showing the pace they had.

With a string of quick times they over the next 4 stages they had moved up to 27th O/A and 4th in class. Going into the last 2 stages the battle was on and at the end of stage 7 they had taken the class lead and moved upto 25th O/A. Another strong run over the last stage in the dark and at the end the team finished 21st O/A and 1st in class.

A great end to the days rallying.
