RETSON EAGER TO TRY RALLY2 ON GRAVEL

Finlay Retson is keen to try the Ford Fiesta Rally2 on gravel off the back of his maiden senior rally victory on the recent Kingdom Stages at Crail.

It was the 22-year-old’s second Rally2 outing following his debut at the McRae Rally Challenge in Knockhill, and it’s left him wanting more.

Retson told MN: “That’s where I want to go is back in the forest again, and hopefully in that car, but it’s a massive step up in money! We just need to go away and try and raise some money over the winter and see what we can do.

“Ideally I’d like to be back in that Rally2 car because they’re just so much fun to drive and I feel like there’s so much more I can put into the car in terms of my own driving,” he added. “Yeah I won but I didn’t feel it was on the limit, so I’d like to have a good proper go, especially on the gravel, to see what I can do.”
