Rupert Flynn, the 2019 British Rally Champion for the Cadet Cup class, has teamed up with Enfield-based civil engineering company Galldris for the 2020 British Rally Championship.

Flynn is competing in the junior category for drivers under 26-years-old and for cars with 200bhp.

Commenting on the new partnership, Galldris’ Season O’Driscoll said: “We have known Rupert and have watched Rupert’s progress through karting and into rallying. We were very impressed with his measured approach to 2019 and to pick up the 2019 British Rally Championship’s Cadet Cup was a fabulous achievement.

“We see 2020 as a development (apprenticeship) year for Rupert and my advice to him is to go out there, enjoy the events, be safe, build your experience and the results will come.”

The 2020 season kicked off at the weekend at the Cambrian Rally in Llandudno, North Wales, with Flynn and the Galldris car in action, where he finished fifth in the junior category and 13th overall.

Focus now switches to the next round of the championship, which is scheduled for the weekend of March 14 and 15 in West Cork, Republic of Ireland.
