2016 was a big year for Chris as he finally upgraded his Ford Fiesta MS1 to a Citroen DS3 R3T. Chris took on the MSA British Rally Championship with long term Co-Driver Yan Griffiths. Chris and Yan won their class in the British Rally Championship - BRC3 Category. Due to an unfortunate accident on the Nicky Grist 100 Stages, Chris and Yan both were hospitalised and put out of Rallying for the rest of 2016. After six months of recovering Chris is now back to competing at small events in his Ford Fiesta MS1 until he can get back into bigger events when his Citroen DS3 R3T is fully rebuilt.
