PRYCE GETS A MEXICAN ADVENTURE

British Rally champion Osian Pryce tackled a very different event recently when he took a Jaguar Mk2 to class victory on La Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico.

Pryce was invited to drive the 1963 Jaguar from the Apparently Racing Team on the 2200-mile sevenday marathon with Claire Williams co-driving. The event started from the Gulf of Mexico and finished in Durango, a small city near the New Mexico border.

Pryce said: “Class winners on La Carrera Panamericana at our first attempt – it’s an experience I’ll never forget, that’s for sure. Thanks to all the team who kept us going, and to the trusty Jaguar for getting us around with no major issues at all.”
