This week Auto Addicts are delighted to welcome Peter Scott to the team who becomes our Rally expert.

Peter competed in his first car rally, a small club event in Northern Ireland, in 1965. Since then he has been a competitor in nearly one thousand rallies in everything from an early Mini 850 to the exotic Chequered Flag Lancia Stratos, spending 10 years as a professional co-driver.

A resident of Leeds since the eighties, Peter has recently sold his restaurant and is devoting his time fully to motorsport including driver and co-driver/navigator coaching, managing the build of new rally cars, coordinating the rally programmes for a number of drivers and, of course, co-driving on events.

His next major outing is on Tour Auto with Lord Irvine Laidlaw in his 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.
