Epynt Podium Sets Brown Up For Spanish Rally Invitation
Just days after retiring with transmission failure from Rallye Salamandre in Belgium, FUCHS LUBRICANTS backed Steve Brown ensured his season was back on track by securing a class podium at last weekend’s HRCR Mini Sport Cup - Dixies Historic Challenge.
Brown and co-driver Paul Stringer would quickly adapt to the classic Mini across the notorious Epynt Military Ranges and secured an impressive second place in class MC4 against many more seasoned competitors in the category. Brown’s success at the weekend comes with perfect timing as the 29 year old will now prepare to head to Spain to tackle the Rallye Festival Transmiera on 10th-12th May.
To add to the weekend, Brown also elected to play his “Joker card” meaning his result bags one and half times the points allocated for the championship and he was pleased to finally get a finish for the car.
“So to come away from my first full rally in the car with a class podium is really encouraging."
