Hi All,
Another hectic few weeks so close to christmas, I thought I was having a break! However, I'm not complaining. I suppose the first bit of news, as some people had noticed on twitter, is we have purchased a Fiesta S2000 from M-Sport, with a delivery set between late January, and Early Febuary. The car will make its debut on the Galway International Rally, and we hope to contest the British Rally Championship, aswell as the Irish Tarmac Championship. We are also looking at the possibility of two World Championship events if the budget permits.
Then, the big one, we had the FST International Shootout which was just last week. It was a great all round competition, testing our physical, mental, and media skills on day one, followed by driving on the second day, this time however in my trusty ST car, not the R2 that I had driven on previous events. It went really good for me, 3rd in fitness, 2nd in the mental, and 1st in the media test left me sitting 2nd overall after the first day. On the second day, we had a driving test in Greystoke forest. This again went really well, as we set fastest time on each of the three runs over the 3.4km test. From 18, the finalists were wittled down to five, of which I was one of them. One final interview with Malcolm Wilson OBE and then that was it. So we waited for the result, and to my utter delight I had won! A years work experience at M-Sport, and the BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, what more could I ask for?!
So I'm off to M-Sport to start work on the 11th January, for a year sure to be packed with interesting people, places, and occasions, so I can assure you I am looking forward to starting!
In the time between here and there, I have two prioritys, looking for new sponsors, and relaxing! So if anyone would like to support an interesting prospect in 2010, please get in touch!
Anyway, I better get back to my second priority!
All the best
