Driver Comments

“An extremely unique rally, different from any other rally I have done, but never the less another rally to add to my experience. A very fast rally, which tested the car as much as the driver. We lost a lot of time to the high powered cars on the straights, but maintained a decent pace. I lost some time on SS2 where I had a small excursion after an open square right, which a lot of people seemed to do. We lost 2nd gear after service, and lost some time from that, but I was still happy with my performance and once again loved driving! It was a shame we didn’t finish, as we could have capitalised and we would now be leading the championship. I have confidence going into the Quinton Rally and pushing on to get a result and put us back in the fight!

 Later on in 2009, 586 Sports are planning on holding a Test Day for MG ZR drivers. The idea of the test day is to provide other drivers and customers an opportunity to drive 586’s prepared MG ZR’s.

 

 586 are aiming to show drivers how much fun they can have in a 586 prepared car and to better their understanding of what the car can bring to them.

 

  If you would like further information regarding the test day, please dont hesitate to contact either Steve Black or Callum Black at;
