Dodsworth's Racing Debut at Cadwell Park

For Mark Dodsworth 2014 is all about gaining Motorsport experience and having sampled the British Rallycross Championship contesting Lydden Hill, Knockhill and Pembrey, Dodsworth next aim was to try circuit racing.

 Joining the BRSCC Eurosaloons at Cadwell Park the teenager from Portsmouth certainly had his work cut out on this challenging circuit.  With torrential rain through most of the day, Dodsworth managed to make it through the day whilst a number of drivers packed up and went home.

Whilst not the ideal situation for a first experience at circuit racing Dodsworth gained great experience in driving in wet conditions.

Fifth for Fruru in Rallycross Challenge Europe

After claiming 3rd in the Swift Sport Rallycross Championship in 2013 in a PGM Hire Swift, Belgian driver Kris Fruru discussed his dream to go to European events stepping up to S1600.

Working a plan together to turn the dream into a reality the Left Hand Drive Swift began development to turn S1600 starting with being wide tracked.   The focus for the year was to be able to take on the Rallycross Challenge Europe and compete in as many rounds as possible within an affordable budget.

Adventuring across Europe visiting countries including Lithuania, Hungary and Czech Republic  Fruru completed every round of the championship and they were the only team to compete an finish every round.

Initially aiming for a Top 10 finish in the first year, working with Peter Gwynne, Fruru soon smashed that target achieving 5th overall in the Championship.
