Potential Western-based Challengers:
-----------------------------------
1./ Well, we've lost Dave Koszegi to the BC Regional Karting series this year, so the DBR Rallysport ex-Paynter/McGeer Legacy Turbo won't see much action. Unfortunate loss for rally, but until sponsorship $$ materializes, this will continue to be the case.
2./ There's the new Audi TT run by Andrew Tilston & the Max Power Rallysport team (see "Happy New Year" post below). I believe they're intending to mount a full national campaign.
3./ JK Motorsports is seeking a co-driver (see post below) with the intention of run the national series. Janusz Komorowski was running an Open Class Eagle Talon last year, but has been trying to sell the car and switch to a ____(?).
...and that's all the rumours for now.
Regionally I expect to see a few new teams take the plunge, especially with three nationals in the west this year. I know of at least two or thee more Vancouver teams getting their Subarus caged in the coming months so watch out, rallying in BC is on the rise!
Happy New Year!
