Southampton rally driver Steve Hendy will be looking to avoid bank holiday traffic jams this weekend when the national title holder tackles the Millbrook National Rally Stages.

The Bedfordshire-based event will see Hendy and co-driver Aled Davies behind the wheel of the new Go Worldwide Ford Escort WRC for only the second time.

They are currently lying second in the championship, but need to make up lost ground after retiring with engine problems in the previous round in the Isle of Man.
