Posted: January 7, 2004 7:42 PM

The test organised by Junior World Rally Championship team Hi-Tec srl. took place on a rain soaked stage used on this year's San-Remo rally. Greatly impressed by the car and the management team behind the Fiat Stilo Cup, an order was placed and Ireland's latest rally prospect signed up for the inaugural championship.

Fabrizio Borro, owner of Team Hi Tec commented: "Graham took to the car immediately and had no problems with left hand drive. I believe he will be a very competitive contender in this Championship"

The 2004 Fiat Stilo Cup will be run in conjunction with the prestigious British Rally Championship, with an exciting prize of competing in a Super 1600 Fiat Punto in the 2005 BRC. The car Graham will drive is an 1800cc Group A Stilo, producing 187bhp fully prepared by N-Technology -Fiat's Motorsport arm.

An excited Graham describes the car; "The car is really rewarding to drive, so well built. I am delighted to be part of the inaugural championship which I believe will be very competitive and exciting."

Graham is delighted to have initial backing from "Coffee Perfections" and "Butler Contractors", and hopes this exciting project attracts further backing.
