BLACK TO DEBUT NEW RALLY2 FIESTA ON WOODPECKER
Callum Black has taken delivery of a brand-new Ford Fiesta Rally2, and he plans to give it its debut on the Woodpecker Stages.
Black hasn’t competed since last season in the Fiesta R5 now campaigned by Matthew Hirst as he waited for the new car to be built. He picked it up from M-Sport last week and will test it at Walters Arena next Tuesday.
“Initially I wanted to do asphalt but won’t have enough time to do the events I wanted to do so I’ve decided to do the Woodpecker. The plan is to see how that goes and then maybe do the Trackrod,” Black told Motorsport News.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do next year yet. It would be quite nice to win the BTRDA but then also I haven’t done asphalt since 2014. It’s just convenience really with work and it’s just being realistic, but I would still like to do Ypres next year – even if it’s just one asphalt rally that would be nice and maybe do a small Belgian rally beforehand just to get in the groove. I’m quite indecisive as you can tell!”
Black will be co-driven by Jack Morton and is considering registering for BTRDA points.
