Speaking at the end of his first event, Dom said; “It was a brilliant weekend; the car was good, the notes were excellent and Mike and I got on really well in the car. We lost fourth gear in the last stage so I had to drive round that problem and get on with it – all part of rallying! It was a once in a lifetime chance to be the youngest British rally driver to compete internationally and I am delighted to finish my first rally and have so much fun and learn so much.”
Junior Rallying Manager, Gemma Price was impressed with the drivers' approach to the event: “All three drivers did a fantastic job this weekend. Tom went about eliminating the teething troubles with his new car in a very logical and professional way and once he had it working properly for the gravel stages, put in some remarkable times.
“I was also very impressed with Dom; to be driving a near-200bhp car for his first ever rally and to deal with the gearbox problem was a feat in itself. However, what most impressed me was his speed and commitment in the stages. He was the last car on the road and was regularly catching the car in front within a few kilometres of the start of each stage. He certainly seems to have potential and I'm looking forward to him developing and realising that potential with Junior Rallying's help.
“Conor had an excellent start to the event and put in some very good times. However, the road penalties they picked up affected him on Sunday but he was able to put those behind him and concentrate on the job in hand and bring home another good result and a considerable amount of experience.”
The next event for Junior Rallying will be the Kekava RallySprint over the weekend of June 28-29.
