FORMULA FORD RACER TAKES TO A PORSCHE ON THE STAGES
Sometime Formula Ford racer Richard Aczel has switched to rallying with a Porsche 911 from the Tuthill team.
Aczel has done four years in Formula Ford in a Reynard FF84 and plans to tackle next month’s Walter Hayes Trophy alongside his rallying programme.
Aczel told MN: “I decided to try rallying and went to Kenya earlier this year with Tuthills. We’ve also done the Midnight Sun Rally.”
He then made his UK rallying debut on the Trackrod Historic Cup last month, finishing second in class. “We were there to learn and have a bit of fun,” he said of the outing with experienced Irish co-driver
Alan Harryman alongside. Aczel hopes to do two or three more rallies this year with the Porsche before doing the Tuthill ice driving course in the winter and then preparing for the Safari Classic Rally in 2023.
