Simon and Yvette West
Simon has always been a keen follower of gravel rallying and in his younger days would often be seen standing in the forests wishing that one day he too could live his dream of driving a rally car.
In 2008, Simon convinced his wife they should team up and campaign a Mitsubishi Evo 5. They purchased an ex ARC prepared Michael Thompson car. It was then purchased by Les Walkden and Michael Guest had a brief stint in it.
Simon and Yvette are supported by their trusty crew of Des and Denise Collins (not bad, since Simon used to watch Denise tearing up the forest back in the 80's!).
Simon prepares the car and can often be found in the shed late at night rebuilding parts for the next rally. Yvette does a great job as team manager and keeps everyone on time and in the right place.
Simon and Yvette are involved in the South Australian Rally Panel Promotions Committee and would love to speak to anyone contemplating a start in rallying. Simon is also happy to hear from any media as he pushes the sport to new levels in SA.
