New car, new image, same goal
They might look slightly different this time round, but the TQ-sponsored team are back for the Trackrod Rally Yorkshire next month gunning for points.
Since parting company from RED’s Toyota S2000R after the Ulster International Rally at the start of September, David Higgins and Ieuan Thomas have been inundated with offers of cars to compete in on the Trackrod – and they have finally made their decision on which one to use.
“We have entered the rally in a Subaru Impreza,” says David. “It’s the one Nasser Al-Attiyah used in the Production World Rally Championship round in Greece this year.
“The Autotek Motorsport team are keen to run the car on a British event, and we are keen to continue the year with a good car and a professional team set up. I’ve already had a seat fitting for the car, and we will test both my Subaru and my team mate Hugh’s Mitsubishi again ahead of the rally.”
David is unsure if this will be a one off drive in the Autotek Motorsport car or if he will use it again on Wales Rally GB, which forms the final two rounds of the British Rally Championship, in December. “Either way we hope to finish the year in a Subaru Impreza,” says David.
The team, consisting of David and Ieuan, and TQ Education and Training boss Hugh Evans and Iestyn Williams in their Mitsubishi Lancer E9, will run under the team name TQ.com for the rest of the season. They carry forward the points they gained earlier this year as the TQ RED team and currently lie third in the BRC teams championship.
Trackrod Rally Yorkshire takes place on 6th October, based at the Pickering Showground.
