Rock on Dommy

It was quite an operation for the Kelso crew, with 10 mechanics, one M-Sport engineer and Dommy’s former co-driver Doug Redpath as co-ordinator.

They ran three Ford Fiesta R5s: Tom Cave finished second overall in the BRC event, Donnie McDonald finished first in class in the BRC event and Rory Young finished third overall in the National B event.

While all this was going on, Dommy himself was in Ireland, running two cars in the second round of the Irish Tarmac Championship. Again, he had four mechanics and an M-Sport engineer.

Alister Fisher finished third overall in another Fiesta R5 and now leads the championship.
