Mini Sport Cup 2019: Round 2
Round 2 of the 2019 HRCR Mini Sport Cup, on 5 May, was the
Dixies Historic Challenge, run by Forresters Car Club. A total
of 17 Minis took on the Epynt ranges covering 45 miles over
10 stages. The rally saw a ba le for 1st and 2nd between
Clive King/Anton Bird and John Cressey/Martin Cressey.
Intercom issues during the fi rst two stages scuppered Clive
and Anton's a emps at catching up on John and Martin’s
time. When Clive and Anton gained 10 seconds in the next
two stages, it was looking like it could go either way. Clive
and Anton se led in for 2nd place until John and Martin
were forced to retire. "Of course we were delighted to get
the win but we really felt for John – he drove well," said Clive,
who took overall honours (1st in Category 1) with Anton.
