Copart, M-Sport and DMACK have created an incentive for Group N Fiesta ST owners to compete at the 2015 Wales Rally GB International. The exciting scheme will help celebrate the final opportunity to compete in the UK round of the FIA World Rally Championship, as the homologation for the Ford Fiesta ST comes to an end this year, meaning it is the last year that a Fiesta is eligable to run in international events.
Copart is providing a total prize fund of £1750 with £1,000 for the first Copart Fiesta Trophy registered Group N Fiesta ST in the overall classification, £500 for second and £250 for third.
WRC tyre supplier DMACK will offer significant discounts on tyres, together with four free tyres for the winning Fiesta and two free tyres for second place. M-Sport is providing a test run in the new 1.0 turbo Fiesta R2 as used in the Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy on the world championship.
To qualify for the incentives, crews will be required to complete a registration for the Trophy with Copart, agree to carry the Trophy logos and use DMACK tyres, which consistently prove their speed on Rally GB, throughout the event.
John Pritchard is being sponsored by Copart at this year’s event and has created this incentive in order to attract as many Fiesta's to the international event as possible, with the aim of making the event more affordable for competitors. John will not be eligible for the prizes, but will be taking advantage of the generous tyre discount from DMACK.
John said: “We want to get as many Fiestas out at the international event to celebrate the end of an era of what has been a very successful car for young drivers over the years, by making it as affordable as possible to compete on a World Championship event. DMACK’s support is great as tyres are a big cost on a long event, so it will make a real difference.”
John is rebuilding his Fiesta after crashing out of 2013 WRGB; using a car bought from Copart and parts from U-Pull-It. Follow the team’s progress on copart.co.uk and view 1,000’s of cars that are ideal for donor cars for all forms of motorsport.
