Osian Pryce will once again contest his home round of the Fuchs Lubricants Motorsport UK British Historic Rally Championship, the 2WD Rally North Wales, in a 1978 Escort Mk2 – as a fun day’s rallying to “fill the gap” whilst his 2019 rally plans are being finalised.

It’s the same car in which he contested last year’s Rally North Wales in, and it is the same car in which he recorded fastest time on every stage of last year’s Red Kite Rally to record his first event win in a rear-wheel drive car – adding to victories achieved in front and four-wheel drive machinery.
