PRESS RELEASE: 5th and 6th December 2009

Rockingham stages

An impressive weekend for Andrew and Team Permashine at Rockingham Stages, the last event of the year and one of the best and most competitive stages rallies of the season.

The team were seeded 87 out of 95 so Andrew and Ricky needed to push to get a result. The weather conditions were bad making the track extremely wet and slippery, nevertheless the team started well and were able to record some fast times. After the first two stages the team were lying 39th overall and 5th in class.

On stage 3 the team notched their performance up a gear and were able to record a very fast time jumping up to 34th overall and 4th in class only 14 seconds behind 3rd. Due to the worsening weather conditions the team were unable to close the gap further that day as stage 4 was cancelled.

Raring to go on Sunday morning the team had been reseeded 34, a huge jump from their original 87 reflecting their impressive performance on Saturday. The fast pace continued through the final stages as the team finished an impressive 27th overall and 3rd in class gaining them their first award.

Andrew and Ricky would like to thank their sponsors PIAA UK and Permashine for their support throughout the year.
