FRESH from his first win in the Orangebox Mini, Steve Entwistle is out to make it two in a row on this weekend’s Ilkley Jubilee Rally.
But the Rishton driver, who won the Northumberland Borders road rally last month, will have his work cut out with the UK’s top historic drivers in action.
Entwistle will have road rally mapman Simon Bentley, from Leeds, alongside him and the pair have been seeded at car 22 in the famous ex-Roy Mapple machine.
Sunday’s event, which is a round of the HRCR Championship, features a mixture of special tests and regularities all based around the Craven Cattle Market in Skipton.
The first of three tests start at the Market at 8.45am.
Top seed is HRCR champions Howard Warren/Guy Woodcock in their Porsche 911 with John Ruddock/David Taylor second in their Ford Escort Mexico.
Top East Lancashire seed is Ross Butterworth, from Blacko, and Ali Proctor (Ford Escort Mexico).
Other local entries include Paddy Jones/Tony Longstaff (Ford Cortina), Tom Leeming/ Clive Escreet (Wartburg 353) and Stephen Byrne/David Whitaker Lancaster (Lancia Fulvia).
