17/03/2006

At just 17, Seb is the youngest person to be picked for the new MSA British Rally Academy. The scheme aims to develop young talent in rallying, enabling them to progress to the highest level in the sport.

Whilst over 60 applications were received, just 8 people were selected by a group of former & current competitors in rallying, inclduing Robbie Head and scheme organiser Robert Reid, former world champion co-driver, with Seb being one of just 3 co-drivers in the academy.

"I never expected to get such an opportunity so early in my career, so it was incredible when I got a phonecall from Robert Reid. It's going to be great to work with him throughout the year, it's just a fantastic oppurtunity!" said Seb.

Seb will travel to Edinburgh in 2 weeks for the first of the training days which will focus on psychology, fitness and media skills as well as other aspects of competition. Check back for more updates throughout the year.
