Guy Wilks gets support for his 500 Club fund for a WRC drive next year

Guy Wilks has been receiving backing from many rally folk, for his "Back a Brit" campaign incorporating the Guy Wilks 500 Club, to get a works Subaru drive in the 2009 WRC. So far support and backing has come from the likes of Mikko Hirvonen, Petter Solberg, Steve Perez and the father of the late Richard Burns, Alex.

Wilks scored a fantastic class win in Finland the other week. Here's footage of him finishing 6th on Rally Ireland 2007 in a Subaru WRC:

Meanwhile, Wilks was out in a WRCar at the weekend on the Speyside Stages Rally, where he was driving a Ford Focus WRC 05 in the place of the injured cars' owner Dave Weston. Wilks had been leading the SRC round comfortably until he retired with engine trouble. The event was eventually won by David Bogie in his Corolla WRC.
