In order to keep his style appropriately sideways (and give the team volunteers something to clean on Tuesday night) Brett spent last weekend 'playing' in the dirt as a trainer with the NSW WRX Club at their Richmond Dirt Day. While the dust was unbelievable the fun was second to none despite the car not having an active handbrake.
And on the topic of the club and of interest to all WRX owners and enthusiasts, Rally Of Canberra weekend is also playing host to the WRX Festival which is expected to include a world record gathering of the undisputed classic car of modern times. For further information visit the NSW club website at www.wrx.org.au

French outfit Citroen dominated early only to be overtaken by the sister company car of Peugeot driver Didier Auriol who ended the weekend victorious, followed home by team mate Panizzi.
