David Crossen underlined his status as a major contender for the season with a resounding victory in round two of the British Historic Rally Championship on the Carlisle Stages.
On a day of warm sunshine, fast and very dusty stages, the Northern Irish driver and co-driver Ben Teggart stretched clear of the pack with an impressive performance in their Ford Escort Mk2 to win by 50 seconds from round one winners Dan Mennell and John Roberts. This was therefore the second event running with a new name at the top of the historic pack, which featured an all-Escort overall podium.
