Bicester Simon Mauger maintained his lead on the National Asphalt Rally Championship in the Metro 4M4, with a seventh-placed finish in the Manx rally.

It puts him level on points with Damian Cole, though the Oxfordshire driver still leads the championship due to his round one win at Epynt.

They finished day one eighth, but gained a place on day two to take seventh place.

Meanwhile, former junior driver, Kasia Nicklin returned after a year focusing on her university studies at the Middlewick Stages in Woodbridge.

Reunited with co-driver Emma Morrison, they moved to eighth, only to retire due to mechanical failure.
