HARRY TEAL is looking to be back in action in his Fiesta Special at the end of the month after he spectacularly crashed his car at the top of Le Val des Terres in Monday’s hill climb.

The early indications were that the 54-year-old had written off his Ford Fiesta XR2 MK1 when it hit the protruding bank just before the final bend, causing the vehicle to roll and skid up the road on its side.

Teal got out unscathed and was able to give a salute to the crowd and he now says that the car should be OK to race again at the next meeting on bank holiday Monday 26 May. ‘I’m fine: just my pride is dented,’ said Teal, who owns Portinfer Timber Yard.

‘Hopefully the car will be back for the next hill climb.’
