Revolution Wheels Junior Driver scheme

Posted: February 16, 2010 1:35 PM

Leading UK motorsport wheels manufacturer Revolution Wheels have launched a new Junior Driver initiative as part of their continuing support of the Hankook MSA Scottish Rally Championship.

The company are offering a fully-funded drive in a GpN Subaru Impreza N12 on a round of next year's British Rally Championship, including a full-day's testing with tuition prior to the event.

SRC "junior" registered competitors - aged under 23 years as of January 1st this year - will be eligible for the award.

Confirming their support of the championship for a third year, Revolution Wheels Sales Director Warren McKiernan said the new scheme was testament to the success of the SRC in nurturing new talent.

"As the SRC has grown, so it has produced some of the best young drivers in the UK. Revolution Wheels have been looking to do something for the "juniors" for some time, and we're delighted to be able to offer this exciting opportunity".

Other key components of the championship support package include cash sponsorship, a Revolution Wheels Bonus Scheme for 2WD and 4WD competitors, and a "Revolution Wheels Driver of the Year" award.

MITSUBISHI CUP

Posted: February 11, 2010 2:32 PM

A prestigious new award has been announced by the Scottish Rally Championship in the run up to the 2010 “season opener” in Inverness on February 20th.

The "Mitsubishi Evo Scottish Cup" will be supported by Station Garage in Aberdeen - sponsors of the Granite City Rally, the third round of the SRC.

There will be awards for registered competitors, both in the "Open" category, and for GpN.

The respective winners will be decided on their best six scores out of the eight constituent championship events. .

Registered competitors will also qualify for a substantial discount on Mitsubishi competition parts supplied through Station Garage. Managing Director Bob Shepherd was delighted to further the Station Garage connections with Scottish rallying: "We are long term supporters of Scottish motorsport in general and rallying in particular, having supported our local event - the Granite City Rally in Aberdeen for a number of years.

“During this period we have seen the Scottish Rally Championship go from strength to strength and are particularly pleased to be able to offer our support to the growing number of Mitsubishis that are competing in the series"

SRC Commercial Director Campbell Roy said: "Bob Shepherd and Station Garage are exactly the type of enthusiastic and professional sponsors that we are trying to attract to the SRC. We will look to give them as good a return on their investment as we possibly can and hopefully by doing so, we can further develop this exciting addition to the Championship over the coming years"

The popularity of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is shown by the large number of the marque entered for next weekend's Arnold Clark Thistle Hotel Snowman Rally, the opening round of the Hankook MSA Scottish Rally Championship.

No fewer than thirteen "Evos" feature in the top twenty seeds on the official entry list.

The field of 115 cars is headed by last year's Snowman Rally winner Reay Mackay - in a Mitsubishi Evo 7 - with Mike Faulkner, the championship runner-up in 2009, starting third in an Evo 6.
