What a Close Call

The dust is beginning to settle on the 2022 Tour of Cheshire - the second ToC in under six months.

Congratulations to Dan Willan for bringing the PV 544 Volvo home for his second consecutive victory win and Niall Frost for his hat trick win.

It was a close battle at the top of the leader board and if the Porsche 911 of Paul Crosby and Ali Procter hadn't collected some unwanted penalties on the Oulton Park tests the results would have been different. 'If only ….' We have all been there on events.

With Thanks

My thanks to the competitors for coming to join us for the day. From your comments at the finish - or was that just the expectation of your Cheshire Cheeses - and afterwards you all seem to have enjoyed your day and going back into North Shropshire for a change.

Although the final bills are still coming in it looks like we made a modest surplus after making a Carbon Offset payment to a carbon capture project run by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust which will go together with the competitors' donation to the North West Air Ambulance - a charity we have supported for many years and to which we have been able to give over £20,000 with the help of our competitors, marshals and our sponsoring businesses.

Please help us to retain the support of those businesses by using their services / products -

Dave Auden & Associates - all types of insurance (including rally cars)

Don Barrow - Rally Navigation Equipment

G Blackhurst & Son Ltd - Ford Dealers in Whitchurch

Three Castles Trial - four day regularity rally in North Wales

Rally Navigation Training Services - bespoke navigation tuition online or in person

My thanks also to all the ToC officials for their support running yet another successful event especially as the previous event was in late September 2021.

The ToC team will now be taking a well-earned rest for a few months before turning their thoughts to the next one on March 4th 2023 - our 20th event.
