Posted Date 31/08/2016

Following the disappointment of early retirement at the WRC Rallye Deutschland in mid-August, Chris Ingram responded fantastically in the Junior European competition to seal victory in the Czech Republic’s Barum Rally.

Leading from start to finish, the 22-year-old guided his iconic Open Adam R2 car around the tricky 230km track with the assistance of co-driver Elliott Edmondson.

The car featured a new-look Andrews Heat for Hire branding which has replaced the logo originally used up until this stage of the season.

Following a successful one-off sponsorship of rally driver Chris Ingram during the Circuit of Ireland in April, Andrews Heat for Hire are delighted to extend our partnership with the 22-year-old until the end of the season.

Chris is currently Britain’s leading driver and Junior competitor at the highly-publicised European Rally Championships, which is broadcast on Eurosport to an audience well in excess of 300 million people.

2016 marks the Manchester-based sportsman’s first as an Opel rally driver, but this hasn’t stopped him from taking an incredible 11-point lead after a string for fine performances in the Azores, Belgium and Estonia.

Chris Ingram seals second place at Circuit of Ireland debut

Andrews Heat for Hire’s return to rallying coincided with sponsored driver Chris Ingram securing a place on the podium at his maiden run in the Circuit of Ireland.

Despite a challenging first day that involved driving an unfamiliar Opel Adam R2 on slippery surfaces, Chris and new codriver Kat Becker achieved the fastest times on each stage on day two – a dramatic turnaround that ultimately helped the pair finish just a few seconds behind the eventual winner.

Following the race, Chris reflected: “It’s a dream start to this new chapter! It was another fantastic Circuit of Ireland Rally, some of the best tarmac stages I’ve ever driven, made even more challenging with such changeable weather conditions.
