Dan Boardman returns to the Isle of Man this weekend aiming to repeat their impressive performance last time out on the Manx Telecom Rally.

His first visit to the island saw Boardman, formerly from Darwen, and co-driver Gina Shelley win their class with ten minutes to spare.

They then followed that with another impressive class win on the Manx International - and beat the British N1 champion "We weren't out to prove anything, just get to the finish and enjoy the awesome roads," said Dan.

"The car was completely standard. Gina and I did a good job of the notes, it was our first event together, first closed road event, and the team and car just seemed to gel "It was also my first night stage, it was incredible, the 22-mile stage seemed to last 5 minutes. I could have driven like that all night.

"Everything went smoothly thanks to the team. Unbelievably, we had calls from the team manager telling to slow down, we had plenty of time to ensure we finished"

Dan and Gina, who are seeded at car 64 in their Citroen Saxo VTR, are supported by John Kneen, EBC Brakes, CB Horne, Ballaneven, Todays Holidays, BMS Design Ltd, Lancashire Salvage and Motor Gas Conversions.
