Higgins Back In The Driving Seat
When he drivers the SG Petch Motorsport Production class Mitsubishi Evo IX on the forthcoming International Wales Rally GB, 2004 British Rally Champion David Higgins will be re-united with the highly sucessful team that took him to overall championship victory that year.
David, a multiple British Group N Champion, has more recently been contesting away from home, flying the flag in countries as diverse as China and America. And success has always seemed to follow him around. Higgins has added back to back championships in the SCCA championship in America to no less than 3 Group N ‘Production Class’ Championships in the UK, not to mention winning the overall British Rally Championship in 2004, all of which give some indication of David’s talent and determination.
Apart from 2 outings as part of the works Mitsubishi Team in the 2006 Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championship David has been contesting both the Production Car World Rally Championship, taking a well deserved podium on the opening round, the icy and treacherous Monte Carlo Rally, and the China Rally Championship in 2006.
However for the final round of the 2006 Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally Championship Manx born David will re-unit with SG Petch Motorsport as he takes to the wheel of a Mitsubishi Evo 9 for the International Wales Rally GB, tackling some of the trickiest roads in the UK early in what promises to be a very cold and icy December.
David, who will team up with Sun correspondent Rob Gill in AVit Tools, Virgin Money & The Sun backed Mitsubishi said: "I am very excited by this opportunity. I know the team well from our 2004 BRC campaign and have always been impressed with their attention to detail and professional approach. And as such I am confident we can have a good run."
David will face stiff competition from some of the top drivers in the UK, such as Gwyndaf Evans and Jonny Milner, but this will only add to the spectacle of seeing some of the country’s best drivers going head to head through some very icy welsh forests.
