Alastair Scully will step as much as a Hyundai i20 R5 for his assault on this yr’s ARA Nationwide Championship introduced by Kubota.
The 24-year-old secured his first ever general podium and sophistication win on the Sno*Drift Regional occasion earlier this month, working the Inexperienced APU crew’s Mitsubishi Mirage. That outing was a precursor to a longer-term transfer into four-wheel-drive rallying for this yr.
“I’m so enthusiastic about this,” Scully instructed DirtFish. “I drove my team-mate Patrick Gruszka’s Hyundai i20 R5 on the Present-Me [Super Regional] as a take a look at final yr and we had a number of enjoyable.
“Then we did Sno*Drift within the Mirage, which was nice and it gave me my firstclass win. I didn’t win something earlier than, not even a working race. This is the reason I’m right here!”
Scully is hoping to have the i20 in time for the second ARA spherical of the season, the 100 Acre Wooden Rally on March 14-15.
