Osian Pryce was in a class of his own on the Rally North Wales National A event at the weekend, setting fastest time on all eight stages to win his home event by 37 seconds in his RallyXtreme-prepared BDA-engined Ford Escort Mk2. Seeded at number two, Pryce started 48th on the road as the 49-car field ran in reverse order. Co-driven by Dale Furniss, the talented 26-year old Machynlleth-born driver made a fantastic start by setting the fastest time through the opening 8.5 mile Dyfi stage. His nearest rival was Fuchs Lubricants Motorsport UK British Historic Rally Championship expert Nick Elliott/Dave Price in their Ford Escort, and whilst just two seconds separated them on the opening test, Pryce was able to increase that by a further five seconds with fastest time on the following 5.42 mile Big Ray stage. The first time through Cwm Celli was particularly slippery, and a cautious approach still saw Osian set fastest time through the 3.3 mile test, three seconds quicker than Elliott. Completing the morning loop with an unbeaten fastest time through Garth, Pryce arrived at the mid-day service halt in Dolgellau with a lead of 17 seconds – although his Escort’s gearbox had to be replaced as the car was stuck in reverse gear as it arrived at the town’s cattle market.
