🇫🇷 Rallye Charlemagne – France 🇫🇷

Last weekend, we headed to France for Rallye Charlemagne – a new challenge, a new country, and new roads for the Quigley brothers.

This event attracts some of the biggest names in rallying, including rally legend Sébastien Loeb, so we knew the competition would be fierce.

The rally was run over two days, and the boys got off to a strong start, sitting comfortably inside the top 20. As they settled into the event, the pace continued to improve, with stage times consistently inside the top 15.

Unfortunately, rallying can be a cruel sport. A puncture on the longest stage forced the crew to stop and change a wheel, costing valuable minutes.

Despite the setback, the boys brought the car home in 23rd overall. Without the puncture, they would have been on course for 13th – but that’s rallying!

A huge thank you to everyone who supports us. We’re already looking forward to the next challenge as we head back to Belgium for Rallye Staden. 🇧🇪💪

Sad to hear of the passing of Andy Manston. His work captured so many great moments and memories across our community and will be remembered for years to come.

Thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. Rest in peace.

Last weekend, Sean and Colin Quigley took on the challenging Rally Wervik in Belgium.

Often regarded as a key shakedown event ahead of Ypres Rally, the entry list was packed with talent, including Jos Verstappen and Freddy Loix, making for a highly competitive weekend.

The rally presented a completely new challenge for Sean, with fast stages, deep cuts, and a level of commitment unlike anything he had experienced before. An early spin on SS1 dented confidence initially, but as the event progressed and the crew gained valuable kilometres and experience, their pace and confidence continued to improve.

By the finish, Sean and Colin secured an excellent result:
🏁 2nd FIRC Crew
🏁 1st British Crew
🏁 22nd Overall

A fantastic achievement against strong international competition and, most importantly, a hugely valuable learning experience for the team.

We would like to thank everyone who continues to support us, and we now turn our attention to our next challenge as we prepare for our upcoming event in France. 🇧🇪

An eventful ORC Canal rally for Sean and Colin. It was the second round of the firc.belgium championship and we was looking to build on our strong performance at Salamandre Rally and the pace was there from the off. 5th fastest on SS1 meaning we was there mixing it with the locals. However the event wasn’t going to be straight forward with a couple little mistakes, timing issues and being the first on the scene of an accident meant we finished 16th overall. Great result especially overcoming last years incident and we look forward now to the next round!!

It’s a busy weekend of rallying for us!! Rally Barbados officially starts for Mick tonight with a super special stage at bushy park under the lights. Fantastic way to kick off a 3 day event. Meanwhile we’re also heading over to Belgium for the next round of the firc.belgium ORC Canal rally with Sean. Hoping for some great results across the world!!
