See the blog feature on this - Northern Ireland’s Drew Wylie has been involved in motorsport for 60 years. He’s successful in business, a champion competitor, a renowned manager of some of motorsport’s headline stars, plus he’s just won the NI Historic Rally Championship in this impeccably prepared Ford Escort that graces these pages.

Wylie’s love of motorsport started 60 years ago after his father bought a kart for him and his older brother. That was back in the early ’60s when Drew was about eight years old and living at home on the family farm. Read the Full Article Here

Some sad news to bring you as Drew passed away yesterday. Former manager to Kris Meeke and I think Jonny Rea, as well as many other world-class sporting exports, Drew will be deeply missed by in and around our sport.

The handful of dealings I had with Drew, he always went out of his way to accommodate whatever needs had to be met. A true gent who welcomed me into his home and allowed me to tell his story and that of some of his cars.

His positive spirit the last year, despite what he was going through, was nothing short of astonishing.
