"The plan is to drive the Walkems' car, and finally be able to contest the WRC2 class in a car that should be on the pace."The cost to lease the car for Rally Australia is still unknown, as the team are yet to discover the running costs associated with the Hyundai in competitive conditions. "The team still have to learn what they cost to run, what the longevity of the parts are. All that information will be new to them," he added.

"It's a shame that we won't get the chance in the Fiesta again this year, but I'd still love to do the Coromandel Rally again if the opportunity arose in something."Closer to home, Reeves is still unsure if he'll enter the Eureka Rally in Ballarat in late August. It would be a great opportunity to enter his Subaru WRX and get some valuable seat time, but it would also be a cost that could eat into his Rally Australia funds. "My Subaru doesn't need a lot of work in order to get it ready for Eureka, but we'll just have to wait and see," he said. "I'll be involved at Eureka in some form - either competing in the Subaru, or helping the Walkems and Hayden (Paddon) with the Hyundai." Reeves is also planning to contest September's Yarra Valley Stages in Victoria, although he's unsure in what car.
