MOTORSPORT: McErlean heads to Carlisle

Josh McErlean and his team will head to Carlisle this weekend for the opening round of the Prestone MSA British Rally Championship. On the back of a class victory on the Rallynuts Stages 2 weeks ago, Josh will head to the Pirelli on top form.

Reconnaissance of the stages will commence on the Friday morning with pre-event shakedown taking place on Friday evening. It's all GO on Saturday morning with crews heading into the centre of Carlisle for the Ceremonial Start before indulging into the fast, demanding forests of Kielder.

The team are hoping to kick start their season with a solid performance which would reflect the hard work and effort put in by all over the winter months.
