​Having completed all the various improvements the team had decided to make to the Riley racer after Thruxton on June 13th, and ‘fixed’ the Sprinter race van’s vast thirst for coolant, the OUMF team was eager to get back out on track at the ‘Home of Rallycross’ at Lydden Hill on 4th July 2021. This small, twisting and undulating race circuit is the polar opposite of Thruxton with it high speeds, and long fast corners, but both are notoriously hard on tyres, and we were immensely grateful to Phillips Tyres for supporting the team with a fresh set.

The Riley had been set up on Phillips Tyres superb laser alignment rig earlier in the day, and was ready to go. But first we had to get there…

​All the hard work in preparing the OUMF Riley 1.5 over the previous few days paid off in spades on this very popular annual stage rally. The event is limited to 100 entries, and has no historic class, so our 1950's designed car was up against many professional teams and modern rally cars - like EVO's, M3's, Escort Mk2, Impreza's, Davrians, Gti's, etc - competing in 5 different National rally championships.
