It’s the middle of Betws-y-Coed late on a Wednesday morning of Rally GB week and Sebastien Ogier is waiting patiently in traffic. Curiously, the six-time World Rally champion is moving through this most beautiful of Welsh towns totally unmolested. Nobody’s given him or his motor a second glance.

I’ve been lucky enough to get involved a few forms of motorsport, but one box that needed ticking was a gravel experience. Just as well, Subaru Motorsport Australia has just completed their promotional rally ride car which is based off the WRX STI NR4.
