Matthew Robinson is retro king


Matthew Robinson and Sam Collis (Ford Escort Mark 2) were crowned North-east retro kings after winning the Roger Albert Clark Rally.


They trailed Matt Edwards and Paul Morris in a similar car by 44 seconds going into the final day of the event, which aims to recreate the spirit of past RAC Rallies.


But Edwards and Price were disqualified, leaving Robinson and Collis to take victory.


In a statement, the organisers said: “During the check a small note book of information regarding stages for the Roger Albert Clark Rally 2014, which had not been provided by the organisers, was found within the car and removed.”


Nick Elliott and Dave Price were runners-up in another Escort Mk 2 with Julian Reynolds and Patrick Walsh third in a Fiat 131 Abarth.


The rally was based in Sunderland and included stages at Croft Circuit.
