Driver: Colin Read Co-Driver: Chris Eade |
|
Read, together with his co-driver, Chris Eade, will be
aiming for nothing less than a repeat performance of their impressive
run in round one at Radnor, Mid Wales, where they finished fifth overall
and dominated all categories for production specification cars. Tunbridge will give them the chance to catch up though as the grass parklands should also work in the Mitsubishi driver's favour and the Shogun Warrior should be able to show its true potential. One of only two "works-supported" teams in this year’s Goodyear British Off Road Championship and one of the revelations. In 2002 and 2003 Colin wheeled his diminuitive 1.8 litre Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin, to a substantial number of class wins, winning the class more often than anyone else. In the process, Colin and the Pinin, often finished ahead of all the super production class runners, which often included 4.6 litre V8 Land Rovers. A former rally driver, Colin Read now specialises in teaching people to drive off road and competitively. For further details contact simon@rpmpromo.com

Mitsubishi
arrive in 2004 with a bigger and better challenge and with ambitions to
match. Colin is aiming to be the first ever driver to win the series
overall in a car that can be driven straight out of the showroom. With
the backing of Mitsubishi Motors and with two year’s of experience
under his belt, if any one can then Colin can!
