Andrews Heat for Hire was recently contacted by the operators of a 2000-acre farm in Shrewsbury, who were having difficulties drying their wheat naturally and so required a hired drying solution to minimise the likelihood of spoilage.

Posted Date 09/10/2017

Chris Ingram sealed the ERC Junior U27 Championship title at the weekend following a breath-taking performance at Rally Liepāja. The British driver had established a lead with just three stages remaining and successfully maintained his advantage to avenge the heartache of last year – where he narrowly missed out on ERC Junior glory.

There was to be no repeat this time, however, with the Mancunian also reclaiming the ERC3 title which he won in 2016.

The result means that Chris will step up to the FIA ERC Junior U28 Championships next season and get his first taste of life behind the wheel of an R5 car.

The curtain comes down on the 2017 European Rally Championships this weekend, with just two points currently separating Chris Ingram and leader Filip Mares in the Junior U27 category.

Intrigued eyes will now be firmly fixed on the action in Latvia which commences on Friday 6 October at 20:30 local time.

First held in 2013, Rally Liepāja was set to open last year’s ERC schedule in February until excessive seasonal temperatures caused damage to stage surfaces – prompting safety concerns.

The subsequent autumn rescheduling has effectively led to an all-new rally as drivers and crews adjust to gravel stages free of snow and icy conditions.
