Rhodri Jenkins 2004 Champion in action

Rhodri Jenkins retained the Welsh Sports & Saloon Car Championship after a dramatic final round which saw him score the points he needed, after another nailbiting finish to the Welsh Championship season.

In a race won at a canter by Terry Brown, on a streaming wet track Rhodri stayed out of the melee to stroke home for the points and afterwards said "My plan was to go for second place. I knew that was all I needed.  I stayed off the pace in practice and I spent most of the race watching my mirrors trying to make sure"

In the end it looked like Rhodris plan was begining to unravel as he dropped further and further back, (even losing a lap to Rhys Lloyd who finished 5th overall and won Class G)  until he had Matthew Perkins sitting on his tail! Matthew looked like he was up for a dice and it certainly woke Rhodri up but there was only 3/10ths to spare at the end!

But that was enough as Christian Evans was unable to take advantage and lost out to Ken Rattenbury who drive a very mature race to win Class H and so secure Rhodri his second title!

Rhodri you da man!
