Team UK have taken the silver in the Historic Rally discipline at the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games.

Team Mellors Elliot Motorsport, consisting of driver Ben Mellors and co-driver Alex Lee had a bumper Saturday, finishing off the day with a 1m35s lead on Italy in their pacesetting Toyota Celica.

The final shoot-out stage saw Team UK miss out in a fight-to-the-finish at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.

Ben Mellors said, “We’ve managed to secure silver for Team UK, it wasn’t quite the result we wanted after having such a good lead over the whole Rally. We gave it everything on that shoot-out. What a great weekend!”

Team UK finish the FIA Motorsport Games with two gold medals, three silver medals and two bronze medals, placing fourth in the overall medal table.

Mellors Elliot Motorsport, formed in 1982, is based in Bakewell, Derbyshire, with both Ben and brother Ollie having competed in the 2024 edition of the FIA Motorsport Games.
