Aquarius 2016 Review

Reigning Scottish champions Dave MacKintosh/Duncan Cameron claimed an emphatic win on the Aquarius Rally.

Defending event winners & local heroes Drew Barker/Stuart Waite along with Borders crew Des Campbell/Christine Sanderson proved their closest challengers, but thick fog on the section along Abernethy Glen would see MacKintosh/Campbell establish an early lead, which they maintained to refuel at Freuchie, before going on cement the win on the closing sections atop the infamous Path of Condie.

The historic Saab 96 V4 of veteran crew David Heirs/Maurice Millar fended off younger machinery (and competitors!) to win the supporting Clubman event, just pipping first-time competitors Jim Williams/Jean Bruce in their unorthodox Land Rover Discovery.

The event’s Welsh-style pre-plot format proved surprisingly popular with crews more accustomed to plot-&-bash navigation, as did the new start/finish venues of Loch Leven Community Campus & Thistle Hotel Milnathort.
