Star’s front row seat for sporting history
- Local newspaper week
A bright young prospect
Saturday 1st December 2007, 9:00AM GMT.
To get to the level at which James and Chris are competing takes a large amount of commitment, determination and skill but the rewards of being a top rally driver are numerous.
“I live rallying and it takes up all my time. If I’m not actually rallying I’m thinking about rallying or preparing for the next race,” said James.
“I have been to some amazing places and done some amazing things that I would never have done without rallying – skiing in Norway, go-karting on frozen lakes in Sweden, signing posters in Germany and I have stood in the middle of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff waving to the crowd with 30,000 people cheering back at me.
“It is the most amazing experience and without rallying there is no way I would have done any of it.”
Whether or not James and Chris secure the BRC Super 1600 title at Rally GB, they are both national and hopefully international stars of the future.
