But a blown engine suffered by Andrew Jones to his Ford Escort MkI caused the organisers to cancel the third run of Round 2 which was a double header from Mapps, St Philip to Stewart’s Hill, St John.

Skeete, at the wheel of his Subaru Impreza WRC S12B, picked good lines as he mastered the conditions in sunny conditions, after the 10 a.m start.
