Despite lying a strong third in the 2007 Tesco 99 Octane British Rally Championship, 31 year old Ryan Champion will not be contesting the next round this weekend, the Jim Clark Memorial Rally.
Castleton based Champion was runner up in the 2006 series taking three wins but found himself without a drive just weeks before the opening 2007 event. However, with the loan of a car from former British Champion Jonny Milner, Ryan was able to contest the first round, the Pirelli International Rally, and took a fighting third place. But the deal was just a one-off and with no sponsorship on the horizon, Champion is now force to sit out round two.
"After having a great season last year this is really frustrating, but that's the nature of the sport. At the moment I'm not sure when I'll be competing again but I'll certainly keep chasing any opportunities. Rally Yorkshire in October is a definite but before that we'll just have to see," Champion commented.
