CORK 20 INTERNATIONAL RALLY – PRESS RELEASE
Dealer Team Suzuki One/Two Finish in Irish Tarmac Championship
Dealer Team Suzuki’s James Wozencroft brought his Suzuki Swift Sport 1600 Group N2 car home in 1st position in class at the Cork 20 International Rally to secure 2nd position in the Irish Tarmac Championship behind team mate Lorna Smith who had already won the Championship title prior to competing in Cork.
Both Suzuki Swift Sport 1600 Group N2 cars finished the Cork International Rally in 1st and 2nd position in class after 2 days on the variable and challenging tarmac surfaces in and around Cork.
Lorna Smith and Joanne Oakey also picked up the award for the best female crew.
Commenting on the result, Team Manager Ian Robinson said: “We have achieved our first goal by winning the Irish Tarmac Championship. This result is testament to a fine team effort, a strong car, piloted by two competitive and experienced crews, and supported by a professional service crew. This result would not have been possible without the backing of our sister company Suzuki Ireland who we thank for their support.”
Dealer Team Suzuki now heads off to the Yorkshire International Rally on 6th October, the next round of The British Rally Championship, with the aim of maintaining their slender lead in class R2. Ian Robinson said: “This will be a difficult task, but with the final round at Wales Rally GB scoring double points, we are in a good position to challenge for the title.”
