Dealer Team Suzuki heads for Wales Rally GB in strong position
11 October 2007
Dealer Team Suzuki’s James Wozencroft and Lorna Smith finished 2nd and 4th in Class R2 at the Yorkshire International Rally, the penultimate round of the Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championship held in the forests around Pickering on Saturday 6th October.

Both crews reported early problems, with the revised gravel control tyre significantly reducing grip and the top speed of the cars. James also lost 2 minutes on stage one with gear selection problems.

Team manager Ian Robinson commented: “After stage one our hopes of posting a good result looked decidedly bleak, but both James and Lorna pushed on throughout the day, and the strength and reliability of the Suzuki Swift Sport N2 cars came to the fore, as one by one our main opponents fell by the wayside.”

This result means that Dealer Team Suzuki now heads for Wales Rally GB with the objective of securing the British Rally class R2 championship, with Lorna in 1st position and James 2nd.
