Snooker Top rally co-driver conquers Africa If


RALLY co-driver John Meadows has claimed a superb f irs t place in the tough and te s ting Ivory Coast Rally. Along with top Japanese driver Kenjiro Shinozuka,


in the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, the pair threw down the gauntlet from the start and never looked back, controlling the rally for each of the five days, eventually taking first place some two hours ahead of their nearest rival. “I t was the smoothest and most trouble-free event I

remaining four days, putting more and more time between themselves and the chasing pack, which was


steadily being reduced as the rally went on. Said John: “Although the weather was not as hot as


it can be and the conditions were at least bearable, the


tracks were terrible." Avoiding all trouble, they arrived at the start-finish


spot in Abidjan with a massive two-hour lead over the


second-place team. This was a superb achievement for Shinozuka, who


became first Japanese driver in history to win a world championship event, in any form of motor sport. Although the rally went well for the victors, the rest of the pack did not have such a smooth ride and of the


57 starters, only nine managed to finish. Preparation proved to be the difference in the end,

the back-up tracks knew the route long before the start and John flew out in early October for two week’s of intensive practice. With a fine second place in this year’s Indonesia Rally, he was also able to call on that experience while

pair were also celebrating Kenjiro’s new A grading, which now means that the Eastern driver can start


further up the field in future events. He had been a B category driver, which meant he


had to s ta r t rallies further down the field, but for the next three years he will have an A grading, which classifies him as one of the top drivers in the world. After a busy season, the West Bradford man is now


looking forward to a welcome rest, but will get back to action next March, when he again teams up with Kenjiro for the Kenya Safari Rally.
