21-year-old Brecon-based rally driver Sara Williams showed the boys how it was done when she powered her Brecon Motors backed Subaru Impreza to an outstanding second overall on the recent Bill Gwynne Rallyschool Coracle Stages which was held at the Sweet Lamb Motorsport Complex on Sunday 26 July.
Sara, a former champion on tarmac, has often showed promise since making the change to gravel but finally everything clicked this weekend and with the Brecon Car Rental supported Subaru running perfectly, courtesy of a visit to Geoff Jones Motorsport, Sara and co-driver Dai Roberts ran inside the top three all day long and at the end of the seven stage event the pair were overjoyed to not only win their class but to finish a career best of second overall!
“I don’t particularly like Sweet Lamb as it’s not as flowing as a typical forest rally, but today’s result is my best ever and I really enjoyed myself in the car,” said Sara. “I must say a massive thank you to Geoff Jones for solving the mechanical issues we’ve had recently, and to Dai, awesome as always on the notes! I am also really pleased to repay the faith that my family and supporters have shown in me!”
Sara is planning to contest Wales Rally GB, the final round of the World Rally Championship, in November and will spend the next few weeks looking for funding for this big event.
