Australian rallying great, Simon Evans, has spoken about how rallying curtailed a budding football career in the first part of our exclusive DustTrails podcast discussion.
Speaking to RallySport Magazine's Peter Whitten recently, it wasn't surprising to learn that rallying was all that Evans had wanted to do – much to the bewilderment of his football coach.
"I'd never played footy, but because I couldn't go racing car, eventually I started so it would distract me a little bit, because all I wanted to do was race cars," he said.
"I was very passionate about it at that time in my life, and Dad was involved in the footy club."
