Helloooo,

I've been "into" rallying for a few years and don't think I am a good enough driver to do it competatively (?sp?) however I like the idea of being involved which leaves either marshalling or co-driving. I've done a bit of marshalling and although it is quite exciting I still need a bit more of a "buzz"

So how do I become a co-driver? How do I find a driver willing to take a newbie on?

What sort of costs would be involved? Does the co-driver normally pay for event entry? How does it normally work?

I'm based in Slough (I'm ok though :0) )

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thank you,

I'm ok at map reading and have never been travel sick so should be ok on those points.

I'll probably pop down to Craven one night and have a chat with them.

Thanks again.

I love being scared so that shouldn't be an issue either, plus with being strapped in and having a cage I know I'd be pretty much as safe as is possible.

Many thanks, I've just registered on british rally and am waiting for them to activate my account.
