From a rally family, Allen did not venture into the sport until his 30s, but took to it like a duck to water and carved out a successful career.
Initially in tarmac rallying, Allen won several events and came awfully close to getting a Targa Tasmania win, before moving to gravel rallying where events in New Zealand, Argentina and China were both challenging and rewarding.
Co-driving for the likes of Kevin Weeks, Ryan Smart and Richie Dalton, Allen’s career has been a long one, but an initial retirement didn’t last long.
He’s back in the co-driver’s seat and looking forward to more adventures with the right driver.
Speaking to Luke Whitten, Allen runs through his career and the many great stories that go with it.
