Present and Future Plans:
My plans for this season are very exciting with a tarmac championship and a forest championship as well as the Evo Challenge. My rallying year has got off to a solid start with a 16th o/a on the Red Kite, 28th o/a and 9th Evo on the Sunseeker and a 3rd in class in the BTRDA championship round on Epynt. The next rallies I’m looking forward to are Border Counties, The Welsh and the Manx.
Also this year I decided to set myself the task of creating a championship/challenge. My father had told me about a championship that used to run on the Epynt rallies so I thought I would try and bring it back.
I contacted all of the organisers, obtained a permit, found a sponsor (Legend Fires) and now we have 132 competitors in The Epynt Challenge.
