Andrew Bushe and Richard Hyland achieved more success in the Citroen Saxo S1600, on November's Glens of Antrim Rally. The eight stage closed road tarmac event, ultilised tough tests around the Antrim coast, including the famous Torr Head stage, a daunting nine mile run on the cliff edge of the Antrim coast.
The Hegarty Metals Saxo peformed faultlessly on the event, and the crew recorded a fabulous 7th overall finish, and first in class by over a minute. At one point after three stages, they lay 5th overall amongst the WRC, Group N and much more powerful modified machinery, but eased off on the afternoon tests to preserve their result.
The team is now seeking sponsors for it's 2009 assualt which includes an attack on the Dunlop National Rally Championship. |
