17-year-old Aberangell student Osian Pryce enjoyed yet another visit to the podium when the G & M Pryce backed youngster powered his Ford Fiesta ST to third in class and first front wheel drive home on the recent Bill Gwynne Rallyschool supported Coracle Stages at the Sweet Lamb Motorsport Complex!
This result, just two weeks after taking a podium finish in a round of the Latvian Rally Championship, Rally Latgale, is a big boost for Osian, who was co-driven by Iestyn Williams on this weekend’s seven stage event. Although the student admitted to a slow start, as thick fog reduced visibility dramatically, and had a near miss with a big ditch on the opening stage, he soon settled down and enjoyed the day immensely.
“Today was really good, said Pryce. “I have a lot of confidence in the car now and driving in the thick fog this morning was a good experience, even if I nearly ended my day in a ditch! I’ve now qualified for my international competition licence and will be looking for the funds to do my home rally, Wales Rally GB, in November!”
Wales Rally GB, the final round of the World Rally Championship, takes place from 12 to 14 November and sees the best professional and amateur drivers in the world battle it out through the Welsh forests. Osian aims to contest this rally and has already begun searching for the funding.
