Jim Clark Rally: Jason Pritchard's quest for maximum points
William Mains won his class on the East Riding Stages and remains in the lead of Class G. Co-driven by Emma Clarke, the triple Protyre Asphalt 1400cc champion has been seeded at number 82 (as opposed to number 162 which he had on the opening round) meaning that the Llandysul driver will do a lot more stages in daylight on Friday in his Speedy Sofas/Mike's Scaffolding Vauxhall Nova.

Powys pair make the long trek north for Jim Clark Rally
Jason Pritchard arrives at this weekend's Borders Competitions Jim Clark Rally leading the Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt Rally Championship. While he will be one of the favourites to score maximum points in the third round, the Builth Wells ace has an unusual history on the event. The triple Protyre Asphalt champion contested the Jim Clark five times between 2007-2011 – three times in a Citroën C2, finishing second in the R2 class in 2009 and twice in a Subaru Impreza Sti N16, finishing a career-best fifth overall in 2010. He did not appear again until 2022, when he finished seventh overall in a Volkswagen Polo GTI R5. This time he's back in another different car – his new Pirelli-shod North Road Garage/Guttercrest Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 – and as he will be partnered by Phil Clarke. It's the first time that Pritchard will contest the event twice with the same co-driver. Meanwhile Dale Furniss will join Meirion Evans at this weekend's Borders Competitions Jim Clark Rally with the duo competing for the Castrol MEM Rally Team in a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2. The Llanrhaeadr-based co-driver fills a breach left by usual co-driver William Creighton who is unavailable for the third round of the Probite British Rally Championship. Evans will be aiming to strengthen his challenge for the BRC drivers' title as he arrives in the Scottish borders lying a challenging fifth in the series.

A huge thanks to Liam for doing a great job on the notes and keeping me on the straight and narrow. I'm just really, really happy."In the Junior BRC, there was a podium lock-out for Motorsport Ireland Rally crews as Kyle McBride claimed and co-driver Darragh Mullen finished 10.6 seconds ahead of Craig Rahill and Conor Smith, while Keelan Grogan and Aytron Sherlock completed the second round of the season is the Carlisle Stages on 12 April.
