Britain’s youngest full time World Rally Championship driver, Matthew Wilson, is the latest star to be confirmed for the Scottish Motor Sport Show which will take place at Lanark Agricultural Centre on February 24-25.
The Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team driver – the youngest person to score a point in the WRC drivers’ championship and win a World Rally Championship stage – will take time out from his busy season, and he will be driving the same Ford Focus RS WRC 06 that he is rallying around the world this year.
“I’m really looking forward to bringing the Focus to Scotland, †says Wilson. “There are not many times that I get to drive the car when not at an event so it will be a real treat for all the Scottish rally fans. â€
Wilson’s attendance at the show fits into his busy WRC season which started in January with Rally Monte Carlo and runs until December’s Wales Rally GB. He will come to the show having contested Rally Norway the weekend before.
“It’s a long and busy season, but when an opportunity like the Scottish Motor Sport Show comes up it’s something you don’t want to miss. I was really impressed when I saw the list of people attending, it should be a fun weekend for everyone, †he says.
The Focus RS WRC 06 will be used by Wilson on the purpose-built rally stage, just one of the cars which will be in action over the two days.
