2009

Well it sounds like every school boys dream, "one day a handsome saudi prince comes along and offers our fair petrol-headed under 25, a drive in any rally car of his dreams, and will pay for the lot, all he has to do was drive". Sounds like a familiar fairytale to some of you? Well just like in the other magazines I read.....the one with the really good articles and pictures..... I never thought it would happen to me, but it did.

Ford V8 Supercar driver Steven Richards has today confirmed he will drive the famous ex works Ford Motorsport Escort RS1800 “IYK 000” at the Yokohama Alpine Rally Media Day.

In announcing the drive today Richards said that he was both excited and humbled to get the chance to drive such a unique and famous car. “This is an opportunity most drivers would jump at and I’m really looking forward to it. It’s also a great opportunity to acknowledge Ford Australia’s long and distinguished history in Australian motorsport” said Richards.
