Renault Sport Joins Australian Rally Championships

[GigiGalliNo1]

Great news for the series! More details here on their Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/RenaultSportRallyTeam

Now Renault Sport is on track to show what it can do to set the 2013 East Coast Bullbars Australian Rally Championship alight, with a pair of 2WD Renault Sport Clio R3 factory-built rally cars turning out for the new season in the experienced hands of Scott Pedder and co-driver Dale Moscatt, and privateer Tom Wilde with co-driver Bill Hayes. Both co-drivers have tasted success at the very highest levels of international rallying in 2011 and 2012, and bring a significant advantage to both Renault teams for 2013.
The cars will be campaigned throughout the season and will be supported by Renault Australia.
“Renault is delighted to be able to return to rallying in Australia in a meaningful way,” says Justin Hocevar, Managing Director of Renault Australia.
“Renault Sport is an icon and hero of motor sport the world over, and we eagerly seized the opportunity to demonstrate the expertise of Renault Sport in competition in Australia. Also it was very timely that a talented and successful driver such as Scott Pedder was available to build a Renault Sport team for us,” he says.
