EBRC WINNER PROMISES TO GIVE RALLY TEST HIS ALL
Rallying newcomer Scott keen to maximise prize drive chance after virtual victory
Alan Scott – the winner of the inaugural EBRC series – is keen to impress onlookers when he drives an EDSL Sport Ford
Fiesta Rally4 as his prize for winning the competition.
Scott is an electrician by trade but is also an amateur rally photographer. His only experience in a real-life rally car was alongside Quintin Milne at a shakedown almost a decade ago.
“Now I’ve got this [test], you never know it might create something
[for the future] but even if it doesn’t, it’s a good experience,” Scott told Motorsport News. “I’ll be putting a hell of a lot of effort and concentration into it because it’s not every day that I’ll get this opportunity so I can’t exactly just take it like it’s nothing.”
EDSL Sport team principal Alex Waterman is delighted that a novice will be getting a shot of an up-to-date rally car. “He’s going to have his socks blown off,” Waterman said. “He’s stepping into what will be one of the latest spec Rally4 cars with 215 brake [horsepower] with a sequential gearbox [and] Reiger suspension. Not a lot of people get to do that.”
The date and location of the test are yet to be confirmed but MN understands it’s likely to take place Evans Jr said at EDSL Sport’s annual customer test day.
