On Saturday 25th March Richard Tuthill got himself back behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 in a competitive capacity. This has been after a nine year hiatus since rallying in the R-GT back in Germany in 2014.

“It’s been a long time since my last historic rally, The Severn Trent Stages. That was my last competition and that was back in 2011. Even then I had had a break from rallying.
It will be the same feeling this time, and I am excited to be behind the wheel of one of our Porsches again, especially in the Welsh forests.
I’m curious to know how quickly the top boys are going these days.”
- Richard Tuthill

By the end of the day, Richard had managed four fastest stage times out of the seven stages across the day, and also a second fastest stage time.

Claiming 2nd place in his category, Richard was only two seconds off the winners by the end of the day with Richard Aczel taking 3rd. A time Richard will be looking to improve on next time.
Bon Grimes and Dale Furniss came 2nd in their category too, only 1.2 seconds off the car in front.

It’s lucky that Richard remarked “The idea of doing some more rallying is very appealing”, because he’ll be competing again at Plains Rally on the 20th May 2023.
