Driver Comments

“Another awesome weekend! I enjoyed it once again, and just cant wait to get out there! I tried a couple of different things this weekend and experienced a totally different type of rallying. I felt that the surfaces differed a lot more than the Woodpecker and a lot of it was analysing the surface. It’s been another step in getting experience under my belt and I look forward to the Cambrian. The car was great and were looking to make some changes to make it more competitive for the Cambrian and hopefully getting a good result. I was pleased with the day, and especially our overall position in the Silverstone Championship – as we were using Silverstone tyres.”

Overall Reaction

Callum was cautious in the morning but after service he picked the pace up. His pace compared to championship winner Darren Pinchin was promising, and we will look to build on this in the future.

Driver Comments
“It has been a great weekend and I simply cant wait to do the Plains in a few weeks time! I want to
keep building on my performance and get back into the car as soon as possible. I got a huge
amount of experience this weekend, but I definitely feel there is a lot more to come. I wanted to
maximise the experience by keeping it on the road. The car was great and the team did an amazing
job.”

Overall Reaction
Callums pace was consistent and the stages we selected to push on, provided some quick stage times and gave us a sign of what’s the come. It was a perfect weekend to begin Callums learning curve and we will look to build on it in the next couple of BTRDA Rounds.
