European Rally Championship Ladies’ Trophy champion Molly Taylor will join the World Rally Championship at the final round this weekend in Wales.
The Australian has the experience of competing at the 2012 WRC round in Great Britain and will be again aboard a Citroen DS3 in the WRC3 section of the rally.
“Wales Rally GB definitely was one of our best events last year,” said Taylor.
“I think this year it will be quite competitive with a strong field of Citroens and all the top driver in that series going as hard as they can.
“There are also many local drivers from the British championship taking part in the event, it’s probably going to be the most competitive event we’ve ever done in terms of fast people on board Citroen DS3 cars, it’ll be really exciting for us.
“We’ll go out there being in a different position from the one we’ve had all of this year, when we had to work towards the ERC ladies’ trophy; here it’s just one event, so it’s nice to have that kind of freedom for once, one chance to go out and be competitive and see where we rank”.
The Wales Rally GB 2013 will have the start ceremony later today in the town of Conwy on the North Wales coast. The itinerary includes 24 Special stages, more than half of which are either totally new or haven’t been featured in the World Championship since the 1990s continuing through to Sunday 17 in the town of Llandudno.
