The car has had a complete rebuild to keep it ahead of the competition and ahead its ever more rapid rivals from Japan.

Other commitments and a last minute problem with the vehicle, meant that Tony was reduced to being a spectator at round 1 in Radnor. He will, however waste no time in making his mark.

Tony Walmsley claimed that he was treating the 2002 season as a learning year, but following a string of strong results he finished the year at the head of the field, winning the highly competitive modified (now Super) production class with his Land Rover Defender 90.

With a new vehicle for the 2002 season Tony reckoned that it would take him time to adjust and fine tune his new vehicle, but despite strong class opposition Tony found himself right in the thick of the action.

Now with the development year out of the way and a further championship under his belt Tony will be concentrating on the double in 2004.  Strong rivals in the form of Steven Smith may well keep him from that though!
