David to miss the Pirelli Historic

David Higgins has announced that he will sadly have to sit out the second round of the Dunlop Gambia British Historic Rally Championship, the Pirelli Historic.

"It's not been an easy decision to miss a round," said David. "But it's due to commitments at the family rally school, and my hand not being fully healed after it was pierced by a piece of metal last month. The Chinese championship begins soon, and I cannot risk damaging my hand any further before that."

Alongside his co-driver Ieuan Thomas, David won the Category 2 section of the opening round, the Bulldog Historic, on his debut in the series.
