His name
is Drew Scotmapicus Sturrock, codriver of the Champion of Africa, Teller of the
Spoken Pace Notes and loyal servant to the patron saint, St Andrew of Scoticus.
Son of a mapped-out faither, master of misdirection, drunk on Irn Bru and reared
on bridies. And he will have his way on gravel or on tarmac.
Seriously though, while most rally folks were concentrated on
Finland at the weekend, the far travelled Drew Sturrock notched up another
success just ever so slightly farther afield.
With two rounds of the African Rally Championship to go Skoda
driver Manvir Baryan has clinched the 2019 series title after winning the
Uganda Rally with long time co-driver Drew Sturrock, son of the infamous Bill
Sturrock. This was the crew's third victory out of five rounds so far wining
the season opening Cote d’Ivoire Rally, followed by victories in Zambia and now
Uganda.
Just makes you wonder though. Is he self-taught, or is faither Bill
going to claim the credit? Gaun yersel Drew.
