BRC / RD2 / RALLYNUTS SEVERN VALLEY STAGES 2024

Organised by the Midland Manner Motor Club, the 2024 edition of the Severn Valley Stages Rally would host the second round of the Motorsport UK ProBite British Rally Championship for the first time in its long-standing history.
The origins of the event started life in the 1970s using special stages on private land and old railway tracks along the River Severn. Previously known as the Alcan, Mutiny and Kerriedge Rally, the Seven Valley Stages has benefitted from its headline sponsor Rallynuts since 2018. This year, for its 50th Anniversary the event pulled out all the stops in welcoming the British Rally Championship to the fold. With its RallyHQ at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells, the event would also hold a ceremonial start and finish outside The Metropole Hotel and Spa, Llandrindod Wells in front of the locals and rally fans alike.

Last time out at the opening round of the season (The Legend Fires North West Stages), the Melvyn Evans Motorsport team walked away with a near-perfect result. Chris Ingram alongside Co-Driver Alex Kirhurani put their Polo GTi R5 car on the top step of the podium, beating reigning Junior World Rally Champ, William Creighton in the Motorsport Ireland-backed M-Sport run Ford Fiesta Rally2.
Ingram’s MEM teammate, Meirion Evans peddled the all-new Castol liveried Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 car home for its first-ever podium on British soil at its first attempt. Meanwhile, other expected would-be challengers such as the 2022 BRC Champ Osian Pryce retired from the rally and four times BRC champ Keith Cronin, although recorded a result, had a lesser-than-expected start to his campaign having only managed a seventh-place finish.
With some 62 competitive stage miles over what is regarded as some of the best gravel stages that Wales has to offer; the second round of this hotly contested Championship would see the crews face the challenging and demanding gravel stages of the Coed Sarnau, Myherin/Terranig and Hafren Forest complexes.

As one can half expect, the Welsh weather was also a contributing factor on the day, the morning of the event began with a bit of moisture in the air, mainly in the form of low-lying fog. The opening test of the rally in the Coed Sarnau Forest close to Abbeycwmhir would offer up the first taste of that legendary Welsh gravel, with a short but sharp 4.17-mile test to wake up the BRC crews.

Chris Ingram & Alex Kirhurani wearing the No1 on the doors of their VW Polo GTi R5 car set about laying down the benchmark for the rest to aspire to. They stopped the clocks on the quickest time on that opening stage, Ingram saying “It was the most fun that I’ve had in years!”, but also referencing a bit of sideways antics, Ingram was 3.2 seconds faster than Welshman, Osian Pryce.
Pryce who despite initially being in the thick of it at the opening round, was forced to retire his Ford Fiesta Rally2 following a suspected fueling issue on the seventh stage of the event. There would be no such troubles this time around and being back home and on Gravel, he was hoping for a significantly better result than that DNF at the North West Stages.
“It was OK, we didn’t do anything mad, it was a bit slippy, more than I thought it would be. If we’ve lost a few, I know where but I’d rather get through cleaner without scaring myself”.

Rounding out the top three on the first stage (just 0.9s down on Pryce) was another former BRC champ, who also had a bit of a torrid time last time out at the season opener. Irishman Keith Cronin admittedly doesn’t do a lot of gravel and was finding it hard to get back into it in Wales “If I get a podium I’ll be happy”, he commented. The Rallynuts was his first time on the loose stuff for some twelve months and the first time competing on it in the Ford Fiesta Rally2 car, it was always going to be a tough challenge even without the level of competition he was facing.
Motorsport Ireland’s Rally Academies rising star, William Creighton was having a lot of fun “Sliding about” in his M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 on the opening stage. “Everything happens so quickly, you get up to maximum speed really quickly in these cars”, “Proper Iconic Welsh Stages, a Rally2 Car, what more can you ask for?” the young Irish lad said as he slotted himself into the fourth spot, +4.3 seconds quicker than Scotland’s, Garry Pearson who rounded out the top 5.

The crews then headed to the legendary Myherin & Tarennig complex to the west of Llangurig for the next two stages. For the morning loop, this forest would be split into two separate tests but would join up in the afternoon to form the longest of the rally. SS2 Tarennig began to the east and as the stage headed further to the west the fog thickened.
Osian Pryce with Rhodri Evans alongside him calling the notes was able to step things up a notch as he set about chasing down the early pace setters, Ingram & Kihurani. Although Tarennig was the shortest stage of the event at just 3.74 miles in length, the Welsh pair were able to pull back 2.8 seconds from Ingram’s opening stage win, just 0.4 seconds was the deficit for Pryce now.

Third-place crew Cronin and Co-Driver Mikie Galvin were nipped by the Hyundai i20 N Rally2 car of James Williams & Ross Whittock by 0.3 seconds in Tarrenig. Every mile was giving Williams just that little more confidence in the seat of the new Hyundai and his efforts in stage 2 had elevated him up the leaderboard from 9th to 6th.
There was no time to waste on any road section, just a short forest road linking SS2 into SS3 where the main meat of the bone in Myherin would await the crews. A popular and well-known stage from the days of Britain’s inclusion in the World Rally Championship, Myherin would allow the crews to stretch their legs out and really get in the groove.
Beginning out in the open moorlands amongst the windfarms (not that one could see them for all the fog) and then changing up heading into the more enclosed forest to the west, the grip levels over the length of this 9.85-mile stage were changing almost at every turn it felt. Here is where Pryce & Evans seized the lead of the rally, the pair had found their mojo in Myherin and had topped the timings for the second time, taking the lead of the rally with an advantage of 3.2 seconds over Ingram & Kirhurani.

Behind that battle for the rally lead, there was a change in positions amongst the Irish boys. Creighton and Co-Driver Liam Regan had caught and overhauled Cronin & Galvin in SS3 Myherin, having stopped the clocks some 7.5 seconds quicker for the third podium place heading into the final stage of the morning loop.
Another classic stage would close out the morning loop, the longer test of the morning at 11.22 miles, Hafren Sweet Lamb ran from the North to South finishing up at the popular viewing area in the Sweet Lamb bowl in front of crowds of fans who were braving the weather.

Rally leader Osian Pryce admitted that he was a bit ragged at times through the Hafren test, perhaps also giving a little bit away whilst he was enjoying himself over these epic stages. “Braking is very difficult and the surface changes so much, we’ve been changing the car all morning”. Either way, he still managed to pull out another 6.4 seconds to bolster his overall lead to 11.7 seconds over Ingram heading to the mid-day service halt back at Builth Wells.
Ingram admitted that “It’s been a really tough morning” finding it hard to find a rhythm in the VW Polo GTi and often being a little bit too sideways at times, but vowed “to sort that out for the next loop”. 6.3 seconds behind him was William Creighton, who was improving with every stage and was “happy enough” with his morning’s efforts.

Keith Cronin ended his morning with what he believed was a bit of a bad drive in Hafren, finding the stage really tricky to deal with, he also had a little spin. “Wales doesn’t always seem to go well for me and it’s the same again!” the slightly disheartened man remarked; for now, he and Co-Driver Mikie Galvin were hanging on to the fourth spot and were 10.2 seconds ahead of Garry Pearson & Dan Barritt who rounded out the top 5.

Outside of the top 5, James Williams was making steady progress playing with the set-up of his Hyundai i20 N Rally 2 car. Having clipped a bank on the Hafren test and making what he described as “some stupid errors at the start of the stage” he believed that it was just a case of finding the confidence now. “When you are learning the car it’s difficult but the flow is starting to come now”. Williams was actually in a very close battle with Pearson for that fifth spot, just 0.8 seconds separated them both at halftime.
After that first taste of gravel in the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, Merion Evans & Jonathan Jackson were slowly getting grips with the changes in the surface over the morning loop. “It was tough, we’re doing the best we could”, the pair were holding 7th, some twenty seconds ahead of young Elliot Payne. Payne who was also registered for the BTRDA Championship at the event couldn’t benefit from a recce of the stages like the rest of the BRC field did. He would attribute this to the braking too early in lots of places and at the end of the morning loop he also believed that the Amigos-sponsored Fiesta Rally2 felt to be a little down on power.

BRC returnee Rhys Yates has not set foot in a rally car since the Roger Albert Clark Rally back in 2021, and even then that was in an MK2 Escort. His last appearance in the British Rally Championship was also that same year, where he finished third overall in a Skoda Fabia. This time around he was out in a VW Polo GTi R5 car with the very capable Craig Drew beside him calling the notes. Yates said it was great to be back and to have the feeling of driving a rally car once again, but at times simply didn’t know how they had made it to the end of each stage. “We’ve struggled this morning to be fair, I think the feelings there, I just don’t want to be the guy that blames the car”. That’s understandable me old fruit, given the lack of seat time, one wouldn’t expect to just jump back in the hot seat and be setting the stages alight, given the level of competition that also exists.

Behind Yates and rounding out the top 10 were Olly Mellors & Ian Windress in the Proton Iriz R5; like many trying to find some consistency with the changeable conditions across the stage having not been on the loose stuff since the back end of last year.

AFTERNOON LOOP
Back out after service, William Creighton secured his first stage win on gravel in the BRC1 class over the repeated run of Sarnau, both he and Keith Cronin had found a little more pace in their Ford Fiesta Rally2 cars, Creighton topping the time sheets having posted a time 1.6 faster than Cronin in SS5.

Creighton went on to repeat his efforts in the main Myherin stage (the longest test of the event at 15.82 miles), delivering him his second stage win of the rally, having gotten the better of Pryce by 2.4 seconds. Those two stages had now earned Crieghton and Co-Driver Laim Regan second place overall, catching and passing Chris Ingram in the Polo with just one final stage remaining.

Although Ingram appeared to be struggling with these Welsh stages, he and Co-Driver Alex Kihurani still had a decent buffer of over 29 seconds to fourth-place man James Williams. Williams, like a number of others, had somewhat benefitted from Keith Cronin who punctured in SS6, putting paid to any prospect of a half-decent result in Wales, for him, lady luck was certainly nowhere to be seen. Garry Pearson was another to move up a place, with one final stage remaining, he was holding fifth overall with a gap of a tad over half a minute to the Toyota GR Yaris of Meirion Evans.
Osian Pryce & Rhodri Evans entered the final 13.34 miles of the final Hafren main stage with a lead of 13.9 seconds to defend to William Creighton & Liam Regan, and they did just that. Signing off their Rallynuts Severn Valley Stages with the final stage win of the event, Pryce & Evans had secured the win on home soil. Having taken the chequered flag with a margin of 20 seconds, the Welsh pair were all smiles on the top step of the Probite British Rally Championship podium, something that Pryce hasn’t experienced since his BRC title back in 2022.

“It’s a bit of relief, really happy. We had a bit of a dodgy couple of stages to be honest, it was so slippery so I drove at a pace that I thought I was comfortable and we did drop some time. We also had some hairy moments just trying to keep it on the road. We’ve had a tough winter but we bounced back as we always do, top job by him (Rhodri) on his first win”
Osian Pryce
Bringing his Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy Back M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 car home for the runner-up podium place for the second time in a row, was young Irishman William Creighton. He and Co-Driver Liam Regan delivered a positive and strong drive in what were some rather tricky conditions and on some challenging World-Class Welsh stages. They held their own eventually getting the better of Round 1 winners Chris Ingram & Alex Kihurani by 14.3 seconds and were rewarded with a great result to take them forward in the season.

“If we get second, that is well above my expectation, to be honest. The guys have the experience to go flat out on these stages, whatever the position is, we had a lot of fun today. A couple of big slides and a couple of moments but the car’s so much fun to drive, so if we get two seconds in our first Rally2 Championship in the BRC, I’d be happy with that.“
William Creighton
Rounding out the podium was Chris Ingram, and although sounded a little bit disheartened, still remained positive. “We’ve had a tough day but it’s about the Championship isn’t it and we’ve got a good backup score there, so not the end of the world”. Following the highs of that opening Round 1 victory on the North West Stages, you can’t say that a podium finish in Wales is entirely that bad really. “We did our best and we are looking forward to the next rally” Ingram concluded.

Of course, rally winner Pryce wasn’t the only man from Wales to leave the Severn Valley Stages with a great result. James Williams drove his Hyundai i20 N Rally2 car home to a solid fourth place. Aided by Co-Driver Ross Wittock, the day was about getting the millage under one’s belt and learning the new car on the gravel.
“As a driver, you wanna win straight away and be on the pace but you have to be realistic with these things. I think we found a little bit more rhythm in the car in the afternoon, we tried something with tyres and we’ve had a couple of top times.”
James Williams

A further 30 seconds behind Williams & Whittock were Garry Pearson & Dan Barritt in their M-Sport run Ford Fiesta Rally2. The pair entered the afternoon loop in a bit of a scrap with Williams, in fact just 0.8 seconds separated them both heading into the afternoon’s loop. However, Williams would be the one to find more pace compared to Pearson, coupled with a final stage spin which lost Pearson a chunk of time, it was then just a case of cruising to the finish to get a result on the board for the Scotsman.

JUNIOR
The Junior British Rally Championship contenders were bolstered to nine crews for Round 2; with several others joining the series in Wales it made for a more competitive field in what was pretty much an all-Peugeot 208 Rally4 shootout. Last time out on the North West Stages, Irishman Kalum Graffin walked away with his maiden JBRC win but would face an increased level of competition this time out.
It was Welsh lad Ioan Lloyd who set the benchmark time on the opening Sarnau test, stopping the clocks 6.1 seconds quicker than Scotsman Robert Proudlock; with JBRC regular Kyle McBride & Keelan Grogan both rounding out the top three having both stopped the clocks on identical times, just 4.9 down on Proudlock.

Throughout the morning’s loop of four stages, it would be Lloyd and Proudlock who would be locked in a ding-dong battle for the lead of the Juniors. Lloyd took the first two stages and Proudlock, who admitted to perhaps being on the wrong tyre choice (Proudlock was putting that down to the lack of experience on the Michelin rubber) came back at Lloyd in the Myherin test. However, Lloyd claimed the final stage win of the morning loop in Hafren Forest to lead Proudlock by a whisker over 23 seconds heading into the service halt at Builth Wells.

Despite that strong morning loop, the repeated run through Sarnau would see the exit of the morning’s leader, Ioan Lloyd. He and the Co-Driver Sion Williams would see all that hard work go down the pan on the first stage of the afternoon loop, having beached their Peugoet 208 Rally4 car in the fifth stage.
The demise of Lloyd eased the pressure on Robert Proudlock who alongside Co-Driver Stephen Brown would take charge of the rally from then on. Now on the right tyre choice, coupled with a few set-up tweaks made in service, the pair were beginning to unlock the potential of the package and picked up their third stage win in Coed Sarnau. Heading into the penultimate test, the 15.82-mile Myherin main stage with a lead of around 16 seconds over the Irish pairing of Kyle McBride & Darragh Mullen; the win was therefore looking on for Proudlock and Brown.

Keelan Grogan secured his first JBRC stage win in SS6 over Proudlock but all that was needed from the Scot was to keep it on the road and ahead of McBride behind him. Proudlock and Brown entered the final Hafren stage with a lead of some 23 seconds in reserve and would complete the final 13 miles of the rally relatively untroubled. Signing off their day’s work with that final stage win, the pair would take to the top step of the Probite Junior British Rally Championship podium for their maiden win, going one better than their second-place finish last time out at the season opener.

“Back out gravel for the first time this year, I knew it was going to be a good weekend from the start. We had a lot of finding out to do with it being our first experience on the Michelin gravel tyres and the lack of experience showed on the first loop as a wrong tyre choice lost us some time on Lloyd”, “On the second loop we went onto a softer compound and made some suspension adjustments which made a massive difference, although there’s still a lot to be gained”, “All in all it was a brilliant weekend for the team, coming out on top of a seriously talented pack of drivers is a great boost for the rest of the season!”
Robert Proudlock
Crossing the finish line some 23.7 seconds behind the winners was last year’s JBRC runner-up Kyle McBride who had Darragh Mullen beside him calling the notes. Having kept the rest of the field at bay behind them for the entire day, they simply ran out of stages and millage to be able to mount any sort of challenge to winners Proudlock & Brown. Having not competed at the opening round either, the Severn Valley Stages was effectively a good way to begin their JBRC campaign.

Rounding out the Probite JBRC podium were Keelan Grogan & Ayrton Sherlock who completed the all-Peugeot 208 top three. Grogan another to find his feet on the Irish Tarmac was out on only his second-ever BRC outing, having first dipped his toes in at the Cambrian last year where he finished 7th overall.

NATIONAL
The National field was fifty percent thinner on the ground compared to the opening tarmac round of the North West Stages. Just Nick Heard in the Ginetta G40 and William Mains (this time out in a Corsa) would return after the season opener; they would be joined by Ernie Graham in a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X, Tom Llewellin in a Ford Escort MKII RS1800 and Will Graham in a Ford MK1 Escort RS1600 in Wales for Round 2.
Ernie Graham alongside Co-Driver Robin Kellard in the Mitsubishi EVO X would open up the proceedings with their first fastest National stage on the opening Coed-Sarnau test, beating the Ford MKII RS1800 Escort of Tim Llewellin & Will Atkins by just a single second. Llewellin & Atkins would react instantaneously in the next test of the morning, through Terenic to take over the lead of the National field as Graham & Kellard dropped some 10 seconds here.

Llewellin & Atkins upped their game taking the next two stages of the morning loop by a sizable time difference to Grham & Kellard each time to lead the National field by well over a minute and twelve heading into the mid-day service halt with Will & Karen Grahan in the Ford MK1 RS1600 Escort rounding out the top three National crews.

Tom Llewellin & Will Atkins would go on to dominate the afternoon loop of three stages, taking every stage win the pair would effectively blow away the competition in their MK2 Ford Escort RS1800, heading into the final stage of the event with a safety net of well over one and a half minutes over Earnie Graham and Robin Kellard. Unfortunately, Earnie & Robin would retire their Mitsubishi in the final stage of the rally, disappointingly giving up that second place on the podium so late in the day.

Llewellin & Atkins would navigate the final 13 miles in Hafren Forest and take to the top step of the Probite British Rally Championship National podium with a more than comfortable margin of nearly three and half minutes over the MK1 Ford Escort RS1600 of Will & Karen Graham. Coming home a further eight minutes and forty-one behind in the Vauxhall Corsa would be William Mains and Tomos Whittle to round out the National podium.

OPEN
It was an even more of a poor showing in the Open field, we knew that the tarmac rounds that were aligned with the Asphalt Championship would see an improvement in numbers over the gravel rounds. However, with just one lone crew of John Rintoul & Ross Hynd out competing in their Ford Fiesta R5 car, there was only ever going to be one outcome, so long as they could keep it on the road, which is what they did.

NEXT TIME
The Motorsport UK Probite British Rally Championship returns to the asphalt and the closed roads in and around the Scottish Border town of Duns. The Beatson’s Building Supplies Jim Clark Rally will return to the series in May (24/25) for round 3, offering up something of a bit of familiarity to the crews, having contested two new rallies for the opening two rounds of the year.
