WARNING! IS THIS ANOTHER CON?
AND NOW HAVE THEY GONE BUST? AND SET UP AGAIN?
WITH A DIFFERENT NAME?
Please bare in mind that most (but not all) of the UK Rally Schools are genuine, and although they do need to make a profit to remain supplying you with their facilities, some are there simply to extract as much money as they can out of you with misleading promises and false hopes. It is advisable, before you part with your hard earned, to research and investigate any Rally School and preferably speak to a couple of previous winners of Scholarships if you are intending to pay money to enter any competitions purporting to provide any sort of prize at the end. BEWARE!
Paid for a rally driving day?
Still not had your drive yet?
Paid for Norway?
Still not had that yet?
You are not alone.
Who do you think has paid for their last three years rallying fun? YOU.
£6,000 a week will cover quite a bit of rally fun! Where's it all gone you might wonder?

RELEASE: Immediate
Opportunity of a lifetime: Daniel wins rally
scholarship
Local would-be rally driver Daniel Boardman feels like
he is on top of the world! After an
agonizing weekend awaiting the results of the scholarship final, Innovation
Motorsports Rally Scholarship organizers announced today that Daniel will be
joining the team as driver next year.
Before hearing the good news, Daniel had at first been too nervous to switch on his mobile phone, in case the news he received was not what he so desperately wanted to hear. “When I finally took the call from Chris Moore, Innovation Motorsports director, the nerves immediately lifted, but I think it will take some time for this to properly sink in. I cannot express how much I wanted this opportunity. I know it will be the most important year of my life because it will be my big break; I will give it my all and work my socks off to give myself the best possible chance of success. I know what is involved and what I have to do. It will be hard work. I want to win the championship and also win the sponsors so I can keep rallying and move up as a top British driver” says Daniel.
Daniel battled it out in the final, held last Saturday 29th October
2005, against 28 specially selected finalists from all over Britain for what
turned out to be a gruelling weekend of tests and assessments at the fabulous Rally School
UK forest test venue near Bradford. Each and every one of the finalists gave it their all, making
the final decision very difficult indeed for the panel of judges, which included
Ian Grinrod, co driver to Jimmy, Colin and Alistair McRae. It took many hours of
deliberation, but in the early hours of Monday morning they finally reached a
unanimous decision.
Speaking on behalf of the Scholarship, Innovation Motorsport director Chris
Moore commented: “This has been one of the hardest decisions we have ever had
to make. I would have offered every one of the finalists a place in the team
next year if I could, as it was clear to see that they had put a great deal of
effort into winning the prize. There were a lot of very talented individuals to
choose from, but in the end we believe we have chosen a great team. Despite
their obvious youth and inexperience we are confident they will work very well
together, and to do a great job for us here at Innovation Motorsport next
year!”
The prize has always been an entire
season competing in the Peugeot 206 1400 Challenge, along with training and
development for the team, which is like a dream come true for Daniel.
“To be part of a professional team will bring out the best in me and
help me to concentrate on my own talent and career. It will also massively help
my appeal to the sponsors that are already very interested”.
However there are plans to offer an even greater prize and
this is due to how much Daniel’s talent and potential has impressed the
judges. They feel that they have in
fact found someone better than they had bargained for and so are this week
considering whether to enter the Innovation Motorsports Rally team into an even
higher level of competition, perhaps the Peugeot 206 1600 Supercup! More details
will be announced later in the week.
Daniel adds “This is massive step in my hearts’
direction. For me, it has always been about getting the chance to work and drive
with a professional team, to have the opportunity and probably the chance of a
lifetime, to achieve my maximum potential at what I love. I
really enjoyed the work that has gone into this scholarship and it has boosted
my confidence that finally somebody would believe in me.”
