The pair were driving a Ford Fiesta Rally 2, and their total penalty was 1:48:12.6.

The two-day event was held across eight race sites around Jersey on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 October.

Driver Mark Kelly and navigator Will Atkins, in a Skoda Fabia R5, followed the winning duo to take second place - they were +1:51.4 behind the leaders.

Ross Le Noa and Domonic Volante came third driving a Ford Escort MK2, with a total penalty of 1:53:26.7.

Sam Touzel told ITV News: "It feels like it's been forever coming. I've been dreaming of it since I was a young child watching everybody, so for me it's amazing.

"All of my family are here, most of them have been out in radio cars this weekend or marshalling - it's emotional really."
