Brendo’s big day arrives

Wednesday's session includes recce and then three runs of a set course in the Greystoke Forest under the watchful eye of former World Rally Champion, Marcus Gronholm.  Reeves has hired a Ford Fiesta for the day, whilst many of the European entrants will drive their own Fiestas.

M-Sport boss, Malcolm Wilson, will then interview the top five contenders, before the announcement of the winner is made.  The lucky winner will receive a 12 month contract with M-Sport.
