Neil Armstrong To Pilot Suzuki SX4 WRC
Local Bajan rally ace Neil Armstrong will drive the Suzuki SX4 WRC in 2013. The multiple class winner is currently testing the Suzuki in the UK under the watchful eye of three time British rally Champion Mark Higgins. Mark had this to say about the SX4 and Armstrong:
"To be quite honest I have driven a lot of world rally cars over the last ten years and I am very, very impressed with this car. What the team have achieved with the SX4 so far is really good. It was very hard for the guys to get me out of it! I had to give it back to Neil however, who has been doing a great job in testing."
"Neil has driven front wheel drive and Group N, so it’s a fantastic background for getting into a world rally car. I think he’s adapting very well. The car is very driver friendly so its a great base to start from. He is a natural driver that’s for sure, he listens well, his speed is good and he’s improving all the time. Watch this space, as I believe Neil could be the new star out in the Caribbean."
