The Motorsport Brief: Harry Bates bound for Japan
Manage episode 436883557 series 2115036
Catching up with Australian Rally Champion Harry Bates just before he embarks on his journey to conquer Rally Hokkaido. In a thrilling twist, Harry will go head-to-head with former F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen and a top-tier field, all as part of a mutual exchange program by Toyota Gazoo Racing—and he's bringing his own car for the challenge!
With past experience in the WRC round in New Zealand and now this event in Japan, has Harry developed a hunger for more international rallies?
Harry reflects on the 2024 season, which he describes as one of the most competitive he's faced in Australia. He also shares why his new Yaris Rally 2 car won't be ready in time for the penultimate ARC round in South Australia, leading Neal Bates Motorsport to dust off a trusty steed to keep his title bid alive.
Plus, Harry reveals why co-driver Coral Taylor is packing an Aussie breakfast favourite for the trip and his excitement about seeing Rally Legend Juha Kankkunen behind the wheel of the iconic Celica ST185.
