Sunseeking Dodd Victorious In South Coast Sunshine

Rallye Sunseeker - the Bournemouth based opening round of the eight round ANCRO National Rally Championship - got the series off to a cracking start under somewhat unexpectedly sunny skies. Over eighty top rally crews took the start from the Pavilion Gardens, the first stage a short asphalt blast along the sea-front before crews headed into the forests surrounding the South Coast town for a further fourteen stages. The final test returned the surviving crews back to the Pavilion Gardens stage, supported this year by Jacksons Mercedes.
