Making a welcome return to the rallying calendar on the 24th of May would be the Classic tracks targa rally, organised by Llandysul motor club. This event would start and finish in Llandysul, and would contain a route of some 100 miles, with 21 tests over quarries and tracks giving the competitive miles.

Osian Jones and Llyr Davies on another giant slaying performance on the Night Owl (Joseph John Gilbertson)

The fourth round of the welsh road rally championship, the Night owl road rally, organised by Aberystwyth and district motor club would take place on the 25th and 26th of April, once again starting from the National library car park. An event of some 95 miles, all of which took place on OS map 135, would greet the competitors and naturally being an event close to home a number of club members would be present on the entry list.

First up seeded at 2 were George Williams and Cadog Davies, who were debuting their newly built Mk2 Ford escort, which would win the award for best presented car. Sadly it would not be a successful night for them as they would retire by PC1 with engine issues. At 3 would be Lewis Morgan and Marc Highes in Lewis’ Mk2 Ford escort, Lewis and Marc have set some excellent times over the years and only needing a little luck on their side they were certainly capable of an outright win.

The number 6 slot would go to Andy Davies and Owen Rowcliffe in Andy’s Subaru impreza, they would be another crew capable of big things. Car 7 would go to Arwyn Jones and Mathew Pryce, who have now become one of the crews to keep an eye on, they will no doubt be in with a chance of an excellent result here again in their Mk2 Ford escort. 14 would go to Owain Rowlands who again would be competing in his Mazda MX5, he would have Jamie Mills sat with him for this event. At 15 were Osian Jones and Llyr Davies in their Nissan micra, once again this pairing would no doubt be carrying out some giant slaying tonight. Behind them at 16 were Phillip and Lewis Jenkins, once again in their Mk2 Ford escort, they are an incredibly consistent crew that always put in a good performance and would no doubt do the same here. Huw Rowcliffe and Andrew Gaunt would start at 23 in Huw’s Toyota Corolla, they were hoping for better luck than what they had on the Bro caron. Richard Hughes would be navigating in a Nissan micra for Euros Williams, and they would be seeded at 27. Right behind them at 28 would be Chris Palmer who would again have Deian Rees sat with him, and again they would be in Chris’ Mk1 Ford escort. At 33 would be Bro preseli winners Arfon Jones and Chris Hill, once again in Arfon’s Subaru impreza. At 36 would be Jonathan Davies in his Peugeot 206 GTI, he would have James Martin sitting with him. At 41 would be Dafydd “daffy” Hughes and George Eadon in Dafydd’s recently purchased Mk2 Ford escort, the car previously belonging to another club member, Ieuan Evans. At 55 was Debbie Evans in her Mk2 Ford escort, she had Gethin Sollis on the maps.

It's been a great weekend for club members with the running of the Bro Preseli taking place on the 18th and 19th of April as well as the Rally Salamandre taking place on the 19th, out in Belgium, both rallies seeing club members active and achieving excellent results.

The Bro Preseli is an event organised by Teifi valley motor club, aimed at novice competitors with only semi expert, novice and beginner classes permitted to enter. Once again the event would start from Crymych and would consist of some 80 miles, with the majority of competition taking place on OS map 145.

There were many members among the 70 car entry, the first of which being Jamie Evans who was competing in his familiar Mk2 Ford escort, he had Wyn Mathias on the maps, and they would start at number 2, and a crew to keep an eye on. At 8 were regular pairing of Arfon Jones and Chris Hill, once again in Arfon’s Subaru impreza, they would be another within a shout of a strong result. At 11 was Llyr Davies, who had swapped seats and would be driving his Renault Clio, he had Dilwyn John. Sion Busson would be making another appearance navigating, he would be sat with Richard James in a Mk2 Ford escort, they would be seeded at 18. At 22 were Debbie Evans and Rhodri Evans in Debbie’s Mk2 Ford escort. 33 went to Lewis Jenkins who would be out in his brother’s Mk2 Ford escort, he would have Arwyn Jones who was also swapping seats, navigating for him. At 56 were Arthur Jones and Ollie Jones in Arthur’s Ford Fiesta ST, this would be Ollie’s debut in the lanes after a successful outing on the Towy targa some weeks ago. At 61 were Bethan Eynon Stobbs and Osian Jones in Bethan’s Nissan micra, and behind them at 62 were Mathew Pryce and Leigh Storr in a Peugeot 309 GTI.
