Rally driver Mark Higgins (pictured) finished third in today's penultimate round of the British Rally Championship.
A puncture effectively handed victory to his arch rival Guy Wilks in Wales Rally GB.
Higgins' championship hopes remain alive as the final round takes place on Saturday and Sunday, but Wilks only needs a third place finish to take the title.
