Why did you start in motorsport?
I had always been interested in motorsport and my first few cars were Minis so once I had organized a day at a local rallyschool for my colleagues I decided to buy a car and started road rallying progressing to stage rallying a couple of years later

Results so far
2002 Winner class B1 MSA/Minilite British Historic Stage Rally Championship
2004 Runner up class B2 MSA/Armajaro British Stage Rally Championship
2005 Winner class B2 MSA/Armajaro British Stage Rally Championship and overall winner Brian Dennis Motorsport Welsh Historic Rally Championship
2006 Runner up class B2 MSA/Armajaro British Stage Rally Championship and class B2 winner Brian Dennis Motorsport Welsh Historic Rally Championship
2007 Competing in the Classic Motorsports Welsh Clubmans Tarmac Championship
2007 Brian Dennis Motorsport Welsh Historic Rally Championship
2007 K & R Motorsport ASWMC Historic Stage Championship

After several years of campaigning my trust Austin Mini Cooper NYB 3E on the gravel and tarmac of the BHRC I have decided to do just tarmac events this year and the car, still in historic spec is holding its own against the moderns on the Welsh events.

Favourite venue
Epynt (hope I won’t regret saying this!)

Worst event
Tour of Flanders 2005 when the steering broke on the first corner of the first stage and we hit a road sign and ended up in a turnip field. Having gone all that way we’d rallied less than a mile and had a bent car to sort out, but the beer and chocolate helped take our minds off it.

Favourite car
NYB 3E who has done every stage rally with me

Road car
Mitsubishi Galant Estate service barge which replaced my beloved Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 1

Thanks
Thanks to Rob King for looking after NYB, servicing on events and building the new car (details in due course). Thank you to all the long suffering co drivers who have sat with me particularly the current incumbent Barbara Alexander
