A record 31 crews took part in the first round of the HRCR Mini Sport Cup.
Saturday 17 March saw the first round of the HRCR Mini Sport Cup kick off with the AGBO Stages, organised by Owen Motoring Club.
Once again returning to Weston Park, Shropshire, the Championship got off to a fantastic start with 31 Mini crews competing on the day, making this possibly the largest single-make, stage rally Championship in the world!
The bitter weather and frequent snow showers courtesy of the mini ‘beast from the east’ caused issues for all the crews competing - leaving the stages wet and slippy, resulting in a loss of traction and poor visibility!
However, the Minis battled through, and it was the 2017 reigning champions who once again came out on top - Ray Cunningham and Jared Gill had a flawless run, and proved they were the crew to beat, being the first placed Mini, 1st in MC2 and 5th overall! “We’re keeping it neat and tidy, the car’s running perfectly and we’re really happy with the times! I enjoyed the day and the changing conditions make it a real challenge, but I would be critical of the water splash,” said Ray of his performance.
