Michael Igoe and Will Atkins continued their strong start to 2025 with overall victory at this year’s Snetterton Stage Rally in their Citroën C3 Rally2 with a time of 57m6s.

Six challenging stages featured on and off-track sections, tricky obstacles and areas of the circuit ran in reverse, with the pairing of Igoe/Atkins proving indomitable around the Norfolk venue, taking victory in the first four stages and leading the overall timings from start to finish.

The Skoda Fabia Rally2 of John Griffiths and Emma Morrison finished second in the standings, 23 seconds behind the lead car. The pair finished no lower than fifth in any of the day’s stages to secure a clear second overall. The Darrian T90 GTR+ of Barry Morris and Tom Hutchings completed the top three with a time of 58m18s, claiming a narrow win in stage 5 to deny Igoe and Atkins a clean sweep.

Rounding out the top five was the Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car of Chris West and Keith Hounslow in fourth, 22 seconds behind Morris/Hutchings, with Stuart Maloney and Steve McNulty’s VW Polo R5 a further 24 seconds behind in fifth.
