I did the Dukeries Rally with Stuart Grainger in his 1300cc Nissan Micra. It was to be Stuarts 1st gravel rally, and 1st Multi venue rally. The day started steadily with Stuart getting used to breaking on the slippy stages. On the second stage we pushed a bit harder, but a bit too much into one Square left, were ran up the banking on the outside. The rest of the day went pretty well, apart from us loosing the rearing bumper just before service. We ended up finishing 80th overall, 24th 1400 and 5th in class.
The Quinton was a new experience for me, both new stages and being the oldest member of the crew. I was to sit alongside 17 year old Matt Griffin in the Rallyschool.co.uk Nissan Micra F1000 car.
This was to be Matt's 3rd rally, but this didn't show as we started the 1st stage, Matt showed great maturity and raw speed. We had a great trouble free day which we both really enjoyed.
