Despite an up and down year competing in the BTRDA Rally Championship where he secured the runners-up spot in the 1400S class, Jackson is looking to complete the year on a high by fulfilling a lifetime ambition.

Jackson will drive an iconic Subaru Impreza N10 in the national section of the rally, stepping up from two-wheel to four-wheel drive to take on more than 107 stage miles of the most demanding and world-renowned forestry roads Wales has to offer.

“I am very much looking forward to this opportunity,” said Jackson. “To be able to compete on Wales Rally GB in a Subaru is a dream come true.

“I really am excited to be able to show what all the development and miles we have done over the past few years has resulted in.

“The experience of driving a four-wheel drive rally car is something that is going to greatly benefit me as a driver going forward but more importantly, it is certainly a car that will attract the attention of the crowds lining the route.”

With such an opportunity in the palm of his hands, Jackson and co-driver Claire Williams are in search of small amounts of financial support in order to compete in such a prestigious event.
