Guy Wilks has won the British Rally Championship on Wales Rally GB.

The 26-year-old took the UK title after winning the production category on the World Rally Championship round. It is the Mitsubishi driver's first international rally title.

In order to win the title he had to beat multiple British champion Mark Higgins - something he achieved by almost two minutes when his rival hit gearbox and puncture problems.

An elated Wilks, who is co-driven by Phil Pugh, said, "I'm absolutely delighted. That was a long final stage. I was concentrating 100% but it is an absolutely fantastic feeling to win the British Rally Championship.

"Great. Awesome. I'm over the moon. It's been a hard year and I left it to the end to win, but now the feeling's fantastic."
