Aussies feature in new FIA Rally Star documentary

Episode one of the ‘Be The Next One’ series launched on YouTube overnight with the initial selection process shown in detail.

Australian representatives are shown, particularly Taylor Gill, who went on to win the Asia-Pacific Final and continues in the program to this day.

“The FIA Rally Star talent detection programme is widely recognised across the motor sport industry as being a great success,” Jerome Roussel, the project leader said.

“It has helped enormously in encouraging novice competitors to participate in the sport at grassroots level and has also identified very promising young drivers who all have the potential to go on and become world champions in the future.

“We are therefore delighted to present Be the Next One as the perfect way to tell this amazing story and shine the spotlight on the work of the FIA and all its Member Clubs – and their volunteer officials – in turning FIA Rally Star from concept to reality.”
