PEDDER AND MACNEALL STRIKE FIRST IN DRAMATIC FOREST RALLY

Scott Pedder and Glenn Macneall have taken out top honours in Heat 1 of the 2024 Forest Rally after a dramatic first day of rallying in Western Australia.

With a strong field of more than 30 Bosch Motorsport Australia Rally Championship (ARC) crews tackling the second round of the 2024 season, Pedder and Macneall ended up taking out maximum points on the opening day after beating Eddie Maguire and Zak Brakey by 23 seconds.

Rounding out the top three were Alex Rullo and Steve Glenney, who were elevated to third at the end of the day after Lewis Bates and Anthony McLoughlin were handed a two-minute penalty for using five soft tyres during the day – one more than the allowed allocation of four.
