Paul Dyas and navigator Martyn Taylor came out on top in the Hero-Era RAC Rally of the Tests race in their vintage Volvo Amazon.

The three and a half day event saw drivers take on the challenge of forests, narrow lanes and a variety of surfaces.

But it was Dyas and Taylor who took the honours in the race, which travelled from Leeds to Scotland.

> “It has been a dream to win this one since watching the RAC Rally come through Sutton Park in Birmingham – that’s what got me going in motorsport and to win this now is the pinnacle.

> “Martyn has done a brilliant job in the navigator’s seat.”
