Description

Welcome to Round two of the 2024 Defender Rally EU Baja Championship in Gatinais, France - Rallye Terres Du Gatinais. This is my first international rally in Big Boy my 2.3 tonne beast of a Defender 90! As I continue into year two of the Bowler Driver Development Pathway I now have my national license through racing with Bowler Motors. And we are also upping my game in terms of teammates. I’m now with up there one of the most experienced motorsport individuals in the UK, Chris Hammond. How did I survive!!?? Driving in treacherous conditions, a racing heart and a few tears while sliding in the mud, skimming over ruts, squealing with adrenalin, facing ice like terrain and avoiding huge ditches that were taking no prisoners! Of the 75 vehicles that started only 45 finished, that's 30 vehicles either crashing out or having mechanical problems! So after only hitting one obstacle, I am proud to have not only finished but claimed 7th in class! Next round is in Spain and it's a 400km day!
