Molly ready for 2010 BRC opener |
|
Molly will make her long-awaited return to rallying this weekend when she contests the first round of the British Rally Championship, the Bulldog International Rally in Wales. With a new car and a new co-driver, Molly is really excited about getting back behind the wheel after a long break. It is seven months since her last event.
Due to work commitments, Molly's co-driver from last season, Jemma Bellingham, was unable to commit to the 2010 BRC so experienced Irish co-driver, Phil Clarke, will sit alongside Molly for this event. Phil won the Citroen Racing Trophy last year, sitting alongside Marty McCormack, and he brings a wealth of experience to the team. Molly would like to thank Jemma for the fantastic job she did in the co-driver's seat last year.
The Bulldog International Rally will be the first time Molly has driven her new Citroen C2 competitively and this weekend's event will be all about finding a good rhythm and learning the new car.
The first round of the 2010 British Rally Championship takes place this Saturday, March 27.

Molly's Blog - Testing the Citroen |
I don’t know if I have ever been so exhausted and excited at the same time! Everything has been so busy but the experiences and opportunities I have had have been pretty unforgettable.
On Saturday I had my first test in the new car and I have to say I am still buzzing. The car was very impressive. The sequential gearbox and that extra bit of power compared to what I am used to make a huge difference. I spent the day with Nial McShea who helped me get the best out of the car and set it up. His experience and feel for the car were incredibly valuable. The car has four way adjustable suspension and we were able to make lots of changes and end up with a setup which gave me a good amount of confidence in the car. There is still a big learning curve ahead but I feel we have made a good start. The car had basically been re-built from the ground up and had no faults all day, which is a testament to John McKillop and the boys.

Molly's Blog - March 2010 |
Another mad couple of weeks.. I have spent the last two weekends in Ireland helping the boys get the car ready and we started her up last Sunday. It was such a buzz to hear her run and to think I will actually be driving it soon.
The McCormack’s, John, Paddy, Niall and all the boys who have spent almost every night in the workshop for the past two weeks, have done an incredible job to get everything built up and we are now getting the final touches sorted before the first test next weekend. We have taken plenty of photos, so I will get some up on the site soon.
