Pastrana gets former world champ co-driver
Travis Pastrana's co-driver has retired, so they guy is getting a guest apperance from McRae's old co-driver Derek Ringer for this weekend's Rally America round!
http://www.serviceparknews.com/?c=117&a=1125
Derek makes an interesting comment there, hinting that it might not be a one off.
I wonder when this guy is going to give the full PWRC a crack. He's still young, can clearly drive and he has the money to do it, surely if he wins a third Rally America title this year he will move on to bigger and better things.
I think we won three motorcross titles, maybe that's the lucky number for progression.

To bad, since the old co-driver, the swedish guy Christian Edsström, came to this forum from time to time and told us of their work.
Good for Travis though to have such an experienced co-driver at his side.Winner Best Signature Championship 2007! Winner of BSC 2008! Winner of BSC 2009!

Travis has made it no secret that the backflips on the motorcycle are being put on hold for a bit to focus on his rallying career. I hope he does make an attempt at a full rally programme. He has some talent behind the wheel of the Impreza.

It will be interesting to see how Travis adjusts to a new codriver. I know the notes are computer generated, but more about how he gets along with him for 4 days at an event. Hope travis doesnt find himself in a cycle of searching for a new codriver for every other event, this could put a serious distraction to his R-A championship run this year.
I wish I could get down to Missouri (5 hour drive), but I blew my holiday time on Sweden!Ken & Alex in WRC? Awesome!http://www.monsterworldrallyteam.com

FYI - we discussed this a bit on pg. 31 of the News and Rumours thread in the WRC forum.
I think Travis and Derek will do very well this weekend. And in Argentina for that matter.
At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
