The opening round of the 2010 Kick Energy Fiesta Sport Challenge (FSC) championship took place on Saturday 6 March with seven crews tackling the 35th running of the Malcolm Wilson rally. The event took place over seven stages covering 41 stage miles around the Cumbrian forests of Greystoke, Grizedale and Whinlatter.
The first competitive test of the day was the three0mile Hobcarton stage. Despite being graced with blue skies and sunshine the stages remained snow covered in places as a result of the recent snowfall and low temperatures. Damien Smith and Frazer
Hutchinson marked their debut in the FSC by winning the opening stage. Fellow debutants Jonny Cunningham and Richard Millener were second, just 13seconds behind with John Pritchard, Alex Laffey and Richard Parry0Jones covered by less than ten seconds in third, fourth and fifth.
