A special comment from the 2013 APRC Junior Cup Title champion Michael Young.
" Had a few days to reflect on the weekend just been. Would just like to say, its a great feeling knowing that Malcolm Read and I are now FIA APRC Junior Cup champions and pending going over the start ramp at Thailand Rally we will be FIA APRC 2WD Champions also. But must finish for Malcolm to get that too."
" Its been two years of blood, sweat and tears, plenty of ups and downs. Lots of awesome memories and fun times with all Daniel Willson! Been a dream really, winning my first APRC event and now championship."
" To finish first, first you must finish" something I have completely taken onboard lately! All the advice and wise words from all have been great. Thank you for all the messages and comments over the last few days too.”
” Thanks heaps to the #Cusco team, you have been great too me over the last two years Tsutomu Nagase. And of course the mechanics! Grant Clayton. Loyal Sponsors TRD, Dunlop Motorsport and people behind the scenes.”
