Award 1998 - Driver of the Day at Knockhill's Rally School |
| Best Race / drive and why? | 2002 - Alford Sprint - with my own car out of action, my father very kindly offered me a drive in his Alfa Sud. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and actually beat my father's times! |
| Worst Race / drive and why? | 2002 - Alford Sprint - maybe beating my own father in his car wasn't such a good idea after all!! |
