Jason Pritchard has scored maximum Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt Rally Championship points on the R Kings Down Rally, after a magnificent drive in his Pirelli-shod North Road Garage/Guttercrest Toyota GR Yaris Rally2.

Lee Edwards/Sam Spencer were the top 2WD crew home and scored a sensational third Protyre Asphalt overall result in their rear-wheel drive Blakemore’s Autos/Evans Construction Ford Escort G3.
Aled Wyn Morgans/Jack Bowen scored fourth-place points to continue their magnificent 2026 run in their Aberystwyth Motorsport/OW’s Cabs Fiesta Rally2.
Ian Forgan/Chris Lees (Mercury Motorsport Fiesta Rally2), Steve Wood/Kenny Hall (Rachel’s Organic Volkswagen Polo GTI R5) and John Stone/Rhys Stoneman (Legend Performance Engineering/Legend Fires Volkswagen Polo GTI R5) had a fantastic battle, and just 6.4 seconds separated all three after SS5.
