Rally News: Colin McRae's Ex Co-Driver to Team up with Pastrana

Derek Ringer will now co-drive for Travis Pastrana for Pastrana’s challenge in the FIA P-WRC Series. The series one level below the World Rally Championship (WRC), P-WRC is where drivers can enter production cars modified to FIA rally specifications. Derek Ringer co-drove with Colin McRae from the Early 80s to 2000 when bad blood between the two resulted in Ringer being replaced by Nicky Grist. The first event for the new Ringer/Pastrana team was this past weekend’s Rally Argentina, certainly the most vicious on record, where dense fog and muddy conditions led them to roll their car on stage one. So they may not be off to the most stellar start, but with Ringer’s history, Travis Pastrana stands to learn a lot and to better his rally experience.
