After a three month break, 2004 British Rally champion, David Higgins will head back to China next week for the final round of the Chinese Rally Championship, the Langyou Rally.

Higgins has dominated the CRC this season and to date he has won all four rounds in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9.

That has put the WY Rally Team firmly at the top of the points table going into the season finale, which runs from November 9-11 and which is also the final round of the 2007 Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the 2007 Asia Pacific Rally championship.

“That's a good thing and a bad thing going into this rally. It's great to be in such a dominant position, but it means we'll have to hold back to ensure we keep things that way. Also because the event is a round of the IRC and the Asian Pacific Rally Championship too there will be a big international field there who it would be great to fight with, but the team boss is begging us not to go flat out to win every stage like we have done on previous events," said Higgins, who is also competing this season in the BRC.

“We've worked all year to get to this position, so it would be stupid of us to get drawn into a fight now and lose WY their title.”

The only other team who have a chance of winning the title are the KST team, which is headed by David's fellow countryman Martin Rowe.

“If something happens to the KST team, then we can go flat out,” David added. “Aside from that we only need to finish inside the top ten for Chinese points.

“Holding back from trying to win every stage will be my hardest challenge of the weekend. I like to win,” he summed-up.
