Another British podium spot for Desi Henry and Liam Moynihan

There was a second successive podium finish in the British Rally Championship for Antrim’s Desi Henry (Skoda Fabia R5) and his Cork co-driver Liam Moynihan who finished third overall in round five of the Nicky Grist Rally in Wales.

The rally was won by Elfin Evans/Craig Parry (Fiesta R5), who finished a minute and 11.4 seconds ahead of the Fiesta R5 of Tom Cave/James Morgan. Henry/Moynihan were 50.4 seconds further behind.

Early morning rain made Saturday’s eight stages in the Welsh forests particularly challenging. Top seed and series leader Evans spun his Ford Fiesta on the opening stage where Tom Cave (Fiesta R5) was fastest to lead Scottish ace David Bogie (Skoda Fabia R5) by 1.7 seconds with Fredrik Ahlin (Fiesta) two seconds behind.
