Martyn Walby was crowned the 2010 Hankook Tyres Welsh 2wd Champion at the end of the Cambrian Rally last Saturday evening (16th October), to add to his class B11 title.
The Broadwell haulier, together with Paul Willetts, went into the event knowing he was in for a tremendous battle with three other drivers for the prestigious crown.
The Cambrian attracted 150 crews to do battle in the North Wales forests of Clocaenog and Penmachno, but the Team GMF/BG Landrovers Escort never missed a beat all day, apart from a moment on Stage 3 and losing time with the low sun on the final two stages, to arrive back in Llandudno late on Saturday evening 59th, eighth in class.
"That was a really tough event. We had seen no results all day to see how our rivals were doing, so when I pulled on to the promenade at the finish I was greeted by people from Hankook Tyres and bottles of champagne, and people shaking my hand," said Walby.
