BROADWELL co-driver Jack Walby lived the dream by winning the revamped Winner Garage Skoda Wyedean Stages and making history in the process.

Walby, alongside Irish star Josh Moffett in the Calico Interiors/Combi-lift Fiesta WRC, won the event, making them the youngest ever duo to take victory in the event’s 41st year history.

Walby becomes only the fifth local co-driver to win the event following on from three-time champion Stuart Harrold, Graham Cox, Craig Drew and Paul Willetts.

The first time pairing of Moffett/Walby and dropped 10 seconds with a spin within two miles of stage one, and stopped the clocks eight seconds behind early leader Callum Black in his Fiesta R5 Evo+.

Moffett took fourr back in Edge End as crews struggled in the slippery conditions before he took 17 seconds off Black in the final test of the loop as the later spun and hit a bank.

At service, the Irishman led by 11 seconds from Black and Walby said he was ’struggling’ at that point.

"I’m sat a bit low in the car so I can’t see,” he said.

“I’m struggling to deliver the notes. I sat on some coats for the last one and it was so much better! So the service boys are going to raise me up for second loop, but it’s so slippery and easy to make a mistake.”

But the second loop of the three stages saw Moffett destroy the opposition with fastest times on all three tests, taking a crushing 35 seconds in 20 miles to take victory by 46 seconds from Black, with the Evo 5 of the ever popular Shaun Gardner and Ben Innes taking third place.

“I’m so very pleased to win the Wyedean, an event I’ve watched since I was a small boy,” Walby said.

“Josh is a fantastic driver, a real talent. This afternoon we just clicked and it was a pleasure to sit with him.

“Thanks to Tom Gahan and the service boys, the car was faultless; Pauline and Brian Nash of Calico Interiors for their wonderful support; to everybody connected with the rally, thank you; it will take a while to sink in.”
