Title: Stratos flying high Post by: carl59862 on 27 November, 2023, 07:05:07 AM In case people haven't realised, Seb Perez is currently running in second place overall, driving the Lancia Stratos in the Roger Albert Clark Rally (R.A.C Rally). The final day today sees the competitors in Kielder Forest before heading to the finish in Carlisle.
What a marvellous celebration of Stratos 50 it would be if Seb could bring the car home in this position, or even go one better!

The amount of spectators was amazing and the Stratos was certainly an attraction as was our Ascona 400. we had been leading our class but 8 mile from the end of the last stage a Kielder ditch dampened our efforts! We did make it back to the final control and was classified as a finisher but dropped to 2nd in class. It was all good fun but very hard work!! |
