Rally Wairarapa part 2

As promised, here is a look at the two wheel drive competitors running in this weekend’s Rally Wairarapa.

Top seeded of the two-wheel drives and surely the favourite to be the quickest is Aaron Cook, although the car he will be running is a mystery. It will be either his trusty Honda Jazz (with Integra Type R running gear) or his new Civic. Unfortunately event reports have done nothing more than confuse me with it said at different times that the Jazz and then the Civic will be used???????

Chasing him hard will be pretty much the whole Fiesta brigade, Patrick Malley won last year from Ben Jagger. Ben Hunt, Dominick Unterberger and Daniel Harris are all rookies to the event and Harris will also have to get used to new co-driver Paul Fallon so that will certainly be an interesting battle.

Throw into the mix Reg Cook’s Nissan Micra, Matt Sumerfield’s Diesel Skoda Fabia, Tony Foster’s hotrod Fiesta and series debutant Campbell Wilson in a Toyota Corolla. Although they are unlikely to challenge for outright victory they will be sure to keep the others on their toes.

Will keep you up to date throughout the event.

Cheers
