Stephen Petch Junior is preparing for his second shot at the Mitsubishi Evo Challenge by contesting the forthcoming Get Connected Wyedean Rally as a pre season test in his SG Petch Motorsport run Mitsubishi Evo 9.
Stephen, who finished 2nd overall in the 2006 Mitsubishi Evo Cup is hoping that a full year of experience in the state of the art Mitsubishi will hold him in good stead as he aims to challenge for overall honours in the 2007 championship. The prize for the winner is a full funded season in the works Mitsubishi Team contesting the British Rally Championship.
Despite a number of top stage times in 2006 the County Durham based rally driver endured a mixed season and is hoping that a complete rebuild of the car over the winter will help him shrug off the gremlins that dogged him through 2006.
“The Mitsubishi is one of the best cars I have ever driven and I’m really looking forward to getting back out in it on the Wyedean. Although Michael, my normal co-driver won’t be sitting alongside me for this event I’m sure that Paul Willetts, who is standing in for him, will be more than capable of calling the notes.” said Stephen.
The 2007 running of the Get Connected Wyedean Forest Rally sees the cars depart from Chepstow Racecourse from 8am on Saturday 10th of February before tackling such famous RAC stages of old as Serridge, Speech House and Sallowvallets before returning for the ceremonial finish back at Chepstow Racecourse at around 2:30pm.
