Rallyschool.com.au Australian Junior Challenge two wheel drive winner Will Orders has made his mark internationally with a class win and an outright top four result in his debut event in America,  the Oregon Trail Rally in Oregon, round  three of the Rally America National Championship in early May.

Orders and co-driver Toni Feaver took the two wheel drive class win by 1min 45secs over Rally America regular Andrew Comrie-Picard.

The former Bosch ARC competitor was pleased with the speed of his Nissan Silvia and is confident heading into the next round- the Susquehannock Trail Rally in Pennsylvania held in early June.

"It's amazing. The Nissan was so fast out here and the roads were incredible. I can't wait for the next round at the STPR Rally," said Orders following his win.

The Victorian battled with Comrie-Picard for the top spot in two wheel drive over the three days of competition but the longer, fast stages towards the ended of the rally suited Orders and he ran away with the class win.

CEO of the Bosch Australian Rally Championship, Scott Pedder, believes this is further proof of the success the Rallyschool.com.au Australian Junior Challenge.

"You only have to look at what the 2011 winners of the RAJC have achieved in 2012 to know the program is ticking the boxes on what it was created to achieve," Scott Pedder said.

"Last year's two wheel drive winner, Will Orders, has pursued aspirations overseas and is already reaping the benefits of this and the four wheel drive champion, Tom Wilde, leads the Bosch Australian Rally Championship and both of their success is a credit to the Rallyschool.com.au Australian Junior Challenge."

The next round of Rally America takes place June 1-2 through some of Pennsylvania's toughest forests and Orders is hoping to show the Americans that Aussies are as consistent as they are fast.

The Bosch Australian Rally Championship heads to the Sunshine Coast for round three of the 2012 title, the International Rally of Queensland on 25-27 May. Then it is off to round four, the Scouts Rally of Adelaide which will be held in July with the Snake Racing Coffs Coast Rally in October. The Championship then concludes at Rally Victoria in Early November.

More than 2.5 million Australians will see the Bosch ARC on TV in 2012 and the series will generate more than 36 hours of national television across the Ten/One HD network - a media equivalency value exceeding $6 million.

The Bosch Australian Rally Championship has also re-signed multi-national fuel and lubricant giant BP as the primary fuel supplier and Korean tyre giant Kumho as the exclusive tyre supplier for the championship for the third year.
