SLIDESHOW: Premier Rally action from Sherwood Pines

Last year’s winners of the Premier Rally and the Premier Historic Rally both retained their trophies on Sunday in Sherwood Forest Pines with Robert Swann completing a hat-trick of victories.

Reigning Premier Rally champion Swann, with new co-driver Aled Edwards driving his Subaru Impreza S11 for the first time, were consistent throughout the event, enabling them to claim first place by a comfortable one minute, eight seconds.

The Essex-based driver led from start to finish to secure his third win in three years.

The Premier Historic Rally was won by leading entry Jason Lepley and Howard Pridmore in a Ford Escort RS1800 for the second year running, who were 51 seconds ahead of Ripon Motor Club’s Tom Hewick and Mick Johnson in another Ford Escort.
