Colin and Craig's successes to date have been based on a huge team effort. Working together very closely both know what is required to get the best out of eachother prior to and during a rally event.

Aside from the action inside the car, Colin and Craig rely on a huge effort from their sponsors, mechanics and mentors who make it all possible.

Colin R Smith - 22 - Driver

Oldmeldrum Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Colin only started his rally career in early 2008, starting out in the Ecosse 205 Challenge, a one make championship in Scotland for Peugeot 205's. Four events in 2008 got Colin up to speed with the car and the demands of rallying.

Fast forward to 2009 and Colin emerged as one of the fatest young drivers in Scottish Rallying. Colin's epic battles with friend and rival John MacCrone really developed Colin's driving skills.

Colin is now relishing the challenge of consolidating his recent performance on the Rally of Scotland into a 4 rally assualt on the IRC in 2010.

Away from rallying Colin is a fully trained NDT technician and has recently started his own automotive sales / sourcing business.
