01.05.10 - Winning rally driving partnership return to Manx.
Boardman Motorsport Rally Team are preparing for the Manx May Stages, ready to set some fastest stage times. But can they beat the impressive 10 minute lead they achieved last time they competed on the island?
Dan Boardman and Gina Kelly are all set to take on the "May stages" rally event for the second time. Their first visit to the island resulted in a class win by a huge 10 minute gap, followed by another massive 8 minute class lead over the British N1 champion on the Manx International rally two months later.
"We weren't out to prove anything, just get to the finish and enjoy the awesome roads. The car was completely standard. Gina and I did a good job of the notes, it was our first event together, first closed road event, and the team and car just seemed to gel! It was also my first night stage, it was incredible, the concentration and excitement went through the roof and the 22mile stage seemed to last 5 minutes. I could have driven like that all night. Everything went smoothly thanks to the team. Unbelievably we had calls from the team manager telling to slow down, we had plenty of time to ensure we finished!" said Dan.
Dan and Gina may have made a rod for their own backs but are confident they can clean up yet again by some healthy margins. To support the crew visit Boardman Motorsport on Facebook. They would like to thank John Kneen, EBC Brakes, CB Horne, Ballaneven, Todays Holidays, BMS Design Ltd, Lancashire Salvage and Motor Gas Conversions.
