Billy Grew made an impressive debut in the Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt Rally Championship when he took his newly acquired Mitsubishi Evo 6 to the runner’s up spot in the Junior category and eighth in class B14 on the Legend Fires North West Stages.
The 21-year old driver from Stafford has previously spent three seasons competing in the Junior 1000 Rally Championship, starting when he was 14-years old. His biggest achievement to date is winning the Junior R2 Cup title in a Fiesta R2 in 2022.
“I’ve gone out and purchased a new car for the 2024 season, a Mitsubishi Evo 6, in which I’m going to do the Protyre Asphalt Rally Championship,” says Billy.
“This is a big step up for me. We competed in a handful of single venues in the new car before the opening round, and despite facing a few mechanical issues we have gelled with the car and the pace looks promising.
“I also have a new co-driver joining me for our first full season together, Tom Bishop. I am looking forward to working with Tom and developing our partnership.”
The North West stages was only Billy’s second ever closed road rally, but he achieved what he set out to do with an impressive performance and strong finish.
