Taking an opportunity for a rally good start

Getting a start in rally co-driving is tough. Whenever someone puts a call out for a co-driver, there seems to be a byline saying ‘experience essential’ or ‘knowledge welcomed’, or something along those lines.

Drivers, understandably, want someone to sit next to them who already knows what they are doing, and don’t have to guide the co-driver through their duties on a rally weekend.

This makes it difficult for an inexperienced co-driver to get a start in the sport, so any opportunity that arises, should be taken.

I fell into this category. I’d only completed two and a half stages of a route charted event, and my experience was minimal.
