Round 2 - Carlisle Stages is Complete - 10th Place

Ross and James are seeded 3.

Update from BRC -  “We did get to see a smile from James in the end.

After a herculean effort to get the car ready after an accident in the FIA ERC last weekend - the team can be proud of their efforts to get back on the road again in just five days.  A puncture on SS2 dented any hopes of a podium, but a fight-back from the Welshman saw him climb the leaderboard with every stage - bagging the final BRC point with 10th as a small reward”
