Third place for Loris Capirossi during the Suzuki Swift Sport Cup at the Tempest Rally. Loris drove the Suzuki Swift with his number 65, with co-driver Craig Thorley to a ninth place overall.

Capirossi said: “It has been a great day and it was really fun to do the rally. I took my time in the early stages as I got used to driving on the loose surfaces and in the forests, it was certainly very different from the wide-open tracks that I am used to in MotoGP! As I got more confident with the car my times improved and I was able to go a lot quicker and I think if we could have done a couple more stages I might have caught the leader, but I am really pleased with third in my first rally.

About the fact that team boss Paul Denning crashed out of the race, Loris said: “It was a shame that Paul crashed out, because I think our times were very close and it would have been good to have had that extra bit of competition with him, but I think I would have beaten him anyway!”
