2. Bill Magoffin - 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV
3. Nathan Gordon - 1972 Alfa Romeo 105
4. Mackenzie Pollard - 1969 Standfast Formula Vee

I started the year with an interview with Taylor Gill, who was runner-up in last year’s World Junior Rally Championship.

Since then he has picked up the Sir Jack Brabham Award that recognises outstanding achievement and success by an Australian motorsport competitor at the international level.

I caught up with Taylor this week on a zoom call - he is currently based in Finland - to talk about his debut WRC2 rally and his 4th place result behind three local teams.

We also have a chat about the rallies scheduled for later in the year.
