Copart will once again provide a young co-driver with the opportunity of competing for free at a World Championship event for the first time.
Copart first provided the Copart Co-Driver Experience at the 2013 Wales Rally GB for Elliott Edmondson, who went on to great things competing in the Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy this year, which is part of selected rounds of the World Rally Championship.
This years selected co-driver is Chris Williams from Cumbria, who has competed successfully nationally, and will be having his first taste of World Championship action this November with the Copart Team. Chris will be supporting John Pritchard who has been rallying in various events for over 20 years. This year, he is entering the Wales Rally GB, Britain’s highest profile rally event.
John commented “Chris won the Navigator 2010 Fiesta Trophy with me, and was the natural selection as he is part of the Motor Sports Association Academy led by Nicky Grist who won 21 World Rally Championship rounds with various famous rally drivers such as Colin McRae and Juha Kankkunen.
Copart and U-Pull-It are making the Co-Driver Experience possible as part of a campaign to make budding motorsport enthusiasts aware of the 1,000s of potential cost effective donor cars and parts available from various locations around the UK.
This years Wales Rally GB based at Deeside in North Wales, starts from Llandudno on Thursday 12th November, 2015.
