Gary McElhinney with Seb Perez
Laghy man Gary McElhinney clinched the 2024 British Historic Rally Championship alongside Seb Perez.
McElhinney navigated for Perez for the bulk of the Championship and the Donegal man took the navigator's title.
McElhinney had enough done by the Trackrod Rally in Yorkshire to take the navigator honours.
In May, McElhinney called the notes to take Perez to a sensational win at the Isle of Man British Historic Rally Championship round. There, they blasted up the leaderboard in a Porsche 911 Carrera RS to win by just 0.1 of a second.
That came after the duo took victory at the Rallynuts Severn Valley Rally.
The pair were the leading British Historic Rally crew at the Trackrod Rally, the Woodpecker Rally and the Manx Rally, while they were second in the Argyll Rally,
The final round of the Championship took place at the Rally Anglo Calendonian, where Perez paired with Dale Bowen.
