Neil Weaver and Red Rock Wear result from the British Rally Championship Round One:

After travelling to Carlise for the Pirelli National Rally, Neil Weaver and co-driver Nick Thorton had hoped for a good result. Driving their Suzuki Swift Super 1400 car, supported by Accredis UK, Revelution Wheel, Thompsom Garages and RED ROCK WEAR.com they had a great start and were leading their class. On stage two the car started to have problems with the clutch and by service they had no drive. "The car was great to drive and performed very well until the clutch problems" neil said. "we are now looking forward to the Manx and seeing how the car performs on the tar, the Suzuki has a proven record on tarmac and we shall for sure be aiming for the win".

Pearce Cycles Down Hill Summer Series...

Well what a wet one!!!!  First of all we must thank the Pearce Cycles team for working so hard to put this event on. Practice day was overcast and rain had set in by late afternoon, but this didn't deter the riders. Because of the weather many riders left the site in the evening, but for the ones who stayed came into the marquee for a warm and to watch DVDs, (Apologies to anyone eating while Jackass was playing !! ). It was while we were watching the DVDs that i looked out of the marquee at 7.45pm and saw David and Lindsey working on the finish line, pouring with rain and very little light. Ten minutes after this David walked into the marquee......still smiling and not complaining. Red Rock Wear would like to say a special thank you to David, Lindsey and all the team at Pearce Cycles for making the event run faultlessly and for all their hard work digging.

All of the summer wear will be available from the next round and a planned evening in the marquee will be announced shortly.

Thank you to all the riders and see you at round 3.

James Wozencroft and RED ROCK WEAR in the British Rally Championship

James Wozencroft take 10th place and first non works driver in the Pirelli Internationl Rally.

James Wozencroft had a sensational start to his British Championship charge. Placed as high as 8th overall, untill a puncture dropped him two places, james had a good run all rally and finished first non works car.

Ludlow based rallying ace James Wozencroft recovered from a brace of punctures, caused after hitting an obstacle placed in the road, to take a top 10 result on last weekend’s Carlisle based Pirelli International Rally. This marked his debut in the Revolution Wheels Rally Team.

Wozencroft belied his lack of experience in a 4 wheel drive, this being only his second ever competitive outing, and posted a string of quick times on Friday nights stages. After a cautious opening stage in the dusk, James, the 2006 British Super 1600 rally champion, put the hammer down to blast through the 5 miles of Arthurs Seat a remarkable eighth fastest. Further top ten times saw the British Rally Academy pairing end Day 1 tenth overall. Day 2 featured a further ten stages through the infamous Kielder Forest and Wozencroft and Ridge were consistently harassing those around them. Having found a rapid but comfortable pace the pair returned to second service now in ninth spot and looked all set for a career best finish on this very difficult rally. However things went wrong on Stage 11 when James encountered a large boulder that had been placed in the road. Unable to avoid the offending item he took the full impact on the left side of the car, puncturing both tyres. Thankfully the superior strength of his Revolution wheels meant he was able to limp out of the stage with minimal time loss. However the frustrated young driver was now down to eleventh position. After the car was refettled in the final service James headed back out to the forests for the final loop of three stages. A series of blistering stage times ensured that he moved ahead of team mate Rob Swann to end the opening round of the 2008 Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championship in tenth position overall, in a car that is two years older than those around him!

What a fantastic result. We came here aiming for some consistent times and to gain more experience in the car. I wasn’t happy with my driving on Friday night but got my head into gear and everything worked on Saturday. Geoff Jones gave me a brilliant car and it’s just unfortunate about those two punctures in Stage 11, otherwise we might have finished even higher! I can’t wait for the Jim Clark now.

James wants to thank all of his sponsor for the Pirelli rally, Revolution wheels, Thompson Suzuki, Geoff Jones Motorsport and Red Rock Wear.

Team Red Rock Wear.com. BTRDA Humberside Stages Rally results

The Mitsubishi EVO5.9 of Shaun Gardener and Ben Innes had a mixed result on the recent Humberside Stages rally. After breaking a rear drive shaft on the opening stage, they had to drive through the second stage until they could rear service and change the part. As ever the boys at SMITH TUNED change the shaft in 15 minutes (and in the pouring rain) and sent the crew on their way.

With Shaun and Co-Driver Ben Innes setting consistent times in the afternoon they managed to climb back to 9th overall and first in class. The car being a new build for this season has yet to reach it's full potential and with some excellent local events coming it's looking good for the rest of the series.

The team is run by local people and supported by TNT Tyres (Ludlow) Limited, Speed365 Limited of Ludlow and the car is built and maintained by Smith Tuned of Ludlow. As usual all members of the team are supplied with official Red Rock Wear clothing.
