Higgins withdraws BFG application
David Higgins has been forced to withdraw his application for the coveted BFGoodrich drive on Rally of Scotland, due to commitments in China.
Although he cannot win the title because he is not from China, David has taken a record breaking amount of wins in the championship over the last few years to bring huge success to the WY Rally Team he drives for in the teams' championship.
"It is disappointing to have to withdraw from the selection, because we won a round of the IRC held in China a few years ago so it would be fantastic to get the opportunity to do that on home turf," said Higgins. "But the Chinese championship must remain our priority. Although our next rally is the weekend before Scotland, I have now agreed to stay in China to test an Evo X afterwards, so Scotland is out of the question."
The news comes as Higgins confirms that he has signed a contract to stay with the WY Rally Team in China to contest the 2010 series with them.
"The competition out in China is fantastic," said Higgins. "We have won a lot of events over the last few years, but none of those wins have come easy, the competition just keeps getting better, and that's the type of championship we want to stay involved with."
The next round of the Chinese Rally Championship is Rally China on 14-15 November, which is also a counting round of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship.
