I do think that the long distance relationship is a big part of Glenn's decision here.

Hey Glen are you a candidate to sit next to Chris???

Ray

Sometimes when a driver has problems to stay on the road it helps to put a respected experienced co-driver to read the notes, good example of this is when Harjanne did co-drive Tommi.

Maybe you could put the Charade to one side & put your hand up for the job Ray!!!!

From Emma Gilmour's website

"It was announced last night that my partner Glenn has left the Subaru World Rally Team which was a difficult decision for him to make, and one he certainly didn't make lightly. The timing is very good for me though and I certainly hope that it doesn't look Glenn had planned the timing of his departure to coincide with my rally season, as up until the weekend he always had every intention of doing the whole season with Chris. I am very happy simply to have Glenn home. If he codrives for me - that will be an added bonus. :o )"

Interesting!

I'll have chat with Chris this weekend at Bathurst. don't think that I would be in the running as I only did about 14 pace noted events last year :)

Would love to have a go though, I wreckon i could handle the pace.

Also on a fitness training program at the moment, with some good motivation from Dr John Tickell.

And Nicky Grist with Colin. It seemed to me that this was the a big part of Ben Atkinson giving up the co-driving seat for Glenn in the first place.
Ben is the obvious answer for a short term replacement, but I hope the job goes to Dale Moscatt for the long term, hes very proffesional and very motivated.
