Peter
told Burnham-On-Sea.com he was understandably "very pleased"
with how the weekend had gone. "We've
enjoyed the event and are delighted to win for a second year."
Third
place was taken by the Subaru Impreza of Steve Furzeland, which
was another 52 seconds adrift.
Among
the local teams taking part was Burnham-On-Sea's Phil Davies and
Phillipa Le Coadou in a Toyota MR2. Phillipa told Burnham-On-Sea.com:
"This was our first rally at Brean in this car and we were
delighted to finish 19th overall. Our Toyota is a fairly standard
car that doesn't handle this tight course particularly well."
Burnham's
Chris Barter and Matt Isaac were also competing in a Vauxhall
Nova.
Chris
said: "We're delighted to have come away with a second place
in our class and are very pleased the car is fully intact - we
just wanted to finish and anything more was a bonus!"
A
large crowd of spectators braved bitterly cold weather conditions
to watch the two days of action, which was held at Brean Leisure
Park. Click here for
