A bright young prospect
Saturday 1st December 2007, 9:00AM GMT.
One of the brightest young prospects in British rallying heads to the forests of Wales this weekend in a bid to secure the British Rally Championship trophy.
James Wozencroft, 23 and based in Ludlow, is currently lying second in his class with one rally left, the Rally of Great Britain, but he remains upbeat about his chances of winning the title.
“We’re currently second in the BRC and probably favourite to win the championship,” said James.
The Rally GB takes place between November 30 and December 2 and is the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship.
Last year James was a wildcard entry into the event and impressed with a sixth place finish in his class. This year, however, will be different, as James and Chris are fighting for the title.
“I have to drive with my head because I have to win the championship. The car is not the strongest and if I go flat out the car will not finish so I will make sure I finish, get the points I need and not worry about stage times,” said James.
