Autosport Feb 23, '84 p22 FORD - With Malcolm Wilson now driving a Quattro, the newly named R-E-D (formerly MCD Services) had only one Escort RS1600i to look after on the event. As with many other teams, the RAC Rally specification was adopted on the ex-Malcolm Wilson car, now driven by Junior Team member, Louise Aitken.
...and Louise Aitken - driving R-E-D's RS1600i that was campaigned by Malcolm Wilson last year - was also putting in a good run.
Within moments of the cars leaving the service area and entering the [Olivers Mount] race circuit, the R-E-D radios burst into life. Ellen Morgan's voice told the sad tale that they had blown a con-rod through the block and a fine run was over.
Autosport Feb 23, '84 p20 While Louise Aitken was on the National Breakdown last Saturday, the British Womens Racing Driver's Club held their annual dance and awards presentation, rather further south. During the evening, they announced that Miss Aitken had won the Castrol/ Wakefield Trophy for her outstanding exploits.
