THE honours went to Welshmen Elfyn Evans and Craig Parry in the opening round of the MSA British Rally Championship – with Scots also doing well.

Evans and Parry fought off Swedish pair Fredrik Ahlin and Morton Erik Abrahamsen to clinch victory, with Tom Cave and James Morgan taking third place and making it three Ford Fiesta R5s on the podium.

David Bogie , from Dumfries, and co-driver Kevin Rae, from Hawick, in their first outing in a Skoda Fabia R5, managed a creditable fourth place in the Mid Wales Stages last weekend, with crews battling treacherous snow and icy conditions throughout.

Blair Brown, of Kinross, and Richard Simmonds, from Duns, finished in sixth place in the DMACK British Junior Rally Championship in their Ford Fiesta R2T.
