David sticks with Autotek for Wales Rally GB

After taking a podium finish on Trackrod Rally Yorkshire with the Autotek team, David Higgins has revealed he will continue working with them on Wales Rally GB.

TQ.com crew David and his co-driver Ieuan Thomas finished third in Yorkshire in the Autotek Subaru Impreza - and that was despite the crew coming face-to-face with a digger driving towards them in one of the stages.

“Wales Rally GB is an intense three day rally,” says David. “For an event that long you need to know you are in a car you trust, with a good team running it. In Yorkshire I found Ken Skidmore and the Autotek team extremely professional in both the way they ran the car and their interest in how we were progressing during the event. We were new to them, but they made us feel very welcome.

“By staying with them I know I will be in the best position possible to do well on the WRC event. And it counts as two rounds of the British Rally Championship, so double points are at stake.”

The rally, which is also the final round of the World Rally Championship, takes place from 29th November to 2nd December.
