 Delighted
Exeter duo David Kynaston and co-driver Andy Russell won the Brean
Rally for the second year running on Sunday afternoon (January
27th).
Two
days of exciting racing at Brean Leisure Park saw the pair, pictured,
cling onto a slender 1-second lead from Saturday's
first six stages and they eventually won by over 90 seconds.
"David
and Andy were in blistering form throughout the weekend and hardly
made a mistake - it was great to watch," said a spokesman
for Weston Motor Club, which organised the event.
The
Exeter duo finished at the top of the leader board in their Audi
A3 Quattro after twelve stages of exciting action.
In
second spot were 2006 winners Steve Furzeland and Yvonne Furzeland
in their Subaru Impreza WRC. In third position were Dave Parnell
and Pete Bold in a Ford Escort Mk1 - full
results can be accessed here.
The
popular rally - now in its 12th year - attracted large numbers
of spectators, thanks in part to bright and dry weather throughout
the weekend.
