YOUNG CO-DRIVERS TO BE BOOSTED IN ASPHALT CHAMPIONSHIP
Co-drivers under the age of 25 will be in the spotlight within the Motorsport News-supported Protyre Asphalt Rally Championship in 2023.
With the backing of Craig Parry and Killian Duffy at On the Pace Note, a special end-of-season award will be made to the leading junior co-driver to help them progress their career.
As well as a whole set of essential co-driving tools, they will receive access to On the Pace Note training courses and on-event support from Parry and Duffy in 2024. To qualify, co-drivers registering for the championship must be under the age of 25 at January 1.
Championship organisers
Paul Morris and Paul Wakely are both experienced and current co-drivers and are keen to help the next generation of youngsters make their mark.
Morris told MN: “The championship is run by two co-drivers and we want to help develop and bring on the best of the young co-drivers. It would be fantastic if one of them went on to win the championship. We will be there on the events to help with support and advice if needed. The UK has a great record of breeding some of the very best young co-drivers and I would like to thank Craig and Killian for their support.”
On the Pace Note also backed the previous under 25 drivers’award, which was won by Johnnie Mackay, 21, and his reward will be five sets of one-day notes and DVDs for the coming season.
