Charlie Tuthill recently returned from a debut outing at the Royal Rally of Scandinavia, marking his first European Rally Championship appearance! The first of a four event campaign in the ERC calendar, Charlie took a big step up in competition, racing in the ERC3 category with his Fiesta Rally3 Car.

It was a record breaking turnout for this year's Royal Rally, with a total 62 crews taking part, 13 competing in the ERC3 category alongside Charlie. Fast gravel stages set across Sweden's Värmland County, and fierce competition, it was a full on introduction to the top end of European rally.

The weekend was all about maintaining a consistent pace, and not taking risks, finishing the rally was key. Supported by co-driver, Niall Burns, Team IK Sport, and Tuthill, that is exactly what happened. Charlie finished 7th in the ERC3 category, and 20th overall, a solid weekend result, and some great mileage under the belt.

Clean driving, a cool head, and a big send over the legendary Colin's Crest. It was a weekend of learning and experience building, with more seat time coming soon in Finland!

Well done Charlie!
