Congratulations to everyone involved with organising and competing at last weekend’s Island Stages Rally 2024. It was an instant classic and a treat to see a full tarmac rally stage here on the Isle of Wight. The event was run on Sunday, 3rd November and attracted a top-class entry. The overall winners were Rob Swann and his co-driver Steve McNulty driving a Ford Fiesta WRC and setting a time of 16min 29sec over seven stages.
The best-placed Island crew was Richard Weaver and Dylan Thomas driving a Ford Fiesta R5 and just 18 seconds behind the winners. Previous winner of the Island Car Centre Sandown Sprint, Will Nicholls was 5th overall with his co-driver Nick Broom driving a Ford Fiesta Rally2.
Out of almost 50 cars that were entered, 39 cars were classified as completing the event.
