Rally GB 2017

[Rob Gaskin]

This weekend sees the Rally GB taking place - mainly in Wales.

In the National event (non-WRC) there is a 240Z (number 239 - shame it's not 240) driven by Rikki Proffitt.

Where in Wales does this take place

Anyone off to watch it

Elfyn Evans has won the Rally GB. He is the first Britain to win for 17 years.

Seb Ogier has won the World Championship for British privateer team M-Sport against manufacturer teams from Citroen, Toyota, Hyundai.

M-Sport have won the World Team Championship.

I wonder if it will get ANY mention on BBC TV?

Rikki Proffitt in his wonderfully eclectic Datsun 240Z took the H2 class spoils
