Cadog Davies guides Gavin Wyn Edwrds around to win the Barcud rally (Joseph John Gilbertson)
On the weekend of the 17th and 18th of August Barcud motor club held their rally, The Barcud, a rally which would be the sixth round of the welsh road rally championship. It was a rally of close to 100 miles on OS maps 135 and 146. Once again rally HQ was in Tregaron leisure centre with the start car park being at the mart. With it being a rally on home turf for many club members it was no surprise that there were plenty of club members among the list of 76 starters that had arrived at Tregaron. First among club members in car 3 was Stefan “DR” Davies in his Mk2 ford escort, he had Dafydd Sion Lloyd on map duties. Right behind them at 4 was Cadog Davies who was once again navigating for Gavin Wyn Edwards in a hired Mk1 ford escort, Mk1 escorts are a rare sight on welsh road rallies so it’s always nice to see one on the entry list, and with Gavin and Cadog being the crew, there was a good chance it would feature near the top of he results sheet too. Dafydd Evans was once again partnered with Kevin “Penclawdd” Jones in Kevin’s Toyota corolla at number 5. They have been collecting excellent results and are due their first win together, with it being a local rally for Dafydd and Kevin being consistently competitive in any part of the country it was perfectly possible that it could happen here. Justin Jones was at 6 in his Mk2 ford escort, this was to be the first road rally he was competing on in the new car and out to get some more seat time in it, he had Lewis Sim in the passenger seat. Another escort followed, and that one belonged to Gari Evans who was once again with Richard “Ty-capel” Williams, they have been getting some very good results recently and were hoping to repeat that performance here. At 13 was Alan Gaunt in his Vauxhall astra GTE, he had Deian Rees with him. At 22 was Daniel Williams who was once again out in his BMW 318ti with regular navigator Shaun Richards. At 26 were Huw Rowcliffe and Andrew Gaunt with Huw taking his Peugeot 206 GTI for its first rally in some time. At 30 were Jonathon Davies and Owen Rowcliffe in Jonathon’s recently built Mk2 ford escort. Steffan Daniels and Wayne Jones were at 37 in Steffan’s Peugeot 206. Another Peugeot 206 was at 41, this one being that of Tim Evans. He had Gareth Edwards with him on map duties. Richard Hughes was navigating in another Peugeot 206 at 47, he was with Arwel Thomas. Rounding off club members were Lee Plant and Mike Phillips at 48 in Lee’s Mitsubishi colt.
Andy Davies and Michael Gilbery celebrate Group N honours on the Ulster
On the 17th of August the ever-popular Ulster rally took place, a very popular tarmac event with a long history in the rallying calendar. Making up the penultimate round of the Irish tarmac rally championship this event once again attracted entrants from Lampeter and district motor club. Seeded at number 14 in their an R5 specification Skoda fabia instead of their regular Hyundai i20, were Meirion Evans and Jonathon Jackson. This young pairing has been doing very well this year picking up excellent results on the Irish tarmac and were hoping to add to that tally here. They were out for points in the Irish tarmac championship. At 22 was Andy Davies with regular partner Michael Gilbey who were once again aiming for class position in their familiar group N specification Subaru Impreza, and were out to hopefully score as many points as possible for their Irish tarmac championship bid. Also competing was regular navigator Llion “tractor” Williams who was once again in the passenger seat for Duncan Williams in Duncan’s historic specification Mk2 Ford escort. They were seeded at 74.
