๐ฅ WRC2 ๐ต๐น
We gave it everything!
An incredible experience - we have our first WRC2 podium and no finer man to have alongside @J_Fuzzy_Fulton ๐
Thanks to @toksportwrt@MotorsportSkoda but most of all thank you to the @MotorsportIRL@MIRallyAcademy for believing in me ๐ฎ๐ช ๐ค๐ฎ๐ช
A variety from the 1st round for @F1000Rally at @SnettertonMSV. 14โ17-year-olds tackle rallies in the UK.
After 6 stages, Riley Chester & Victoria Swallow took victory in their Nissan Micra, ahead of Snowdon & Turnbull 2nd in the Suzuki. 3rd was Mathewson & Bass in the VW Up.
It's a win for Riley Chester and Victoria Swallow.
A superb drive all day in the Micra pipping McKenzie Snowdon/Jonathan Turnbull to 2nd and last year's champion, Charlie Mathewson/Ian Bass in 3rd.
What a great days rallying ๐๐ป.
Only a few hours till our crews start the first event of 2024. The Snetterton Stages looks like it's going to provide a fantastic start to the season with some excellent and lengthy stages awaiting. We'll keep you posted throughout the day!
Who's your money on?

As we're counting down the days to the first round of the 2024 Championship, here's a throwback to the VERY FIRST Junior Rally, Roskirk Stages 08/03/2009.
What an incredible achievement from Tristan Dodd and the F1000 Club . By our records, this weekend will see our 170th NEW JUNIOR DRIVER take to the stages*. That's 170 people, under the age of 17, sampling the driving seat before being old enough to drive on the public road.
Our 2014 Junior Champion and 2023 JWRC Champion William Creighton (@WCreighton1) steps up to WRC2 ๐ท
Well done Will & all involved, what a great achievement.
William is another of our ex-Junior drivers who continue to show their ability on the world stage.
