PAGE 14 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Wednesday April 5 2017 Beekeeper’s bid to sting rivals in rally championship GOVERNORS BAY’S Chris McLean is about to take on the NZ Rally Championship in the Ford Fiesta he has spent all summer preparing. McLean, 21, and navigator Sarah Brennan, 25, of Christchurch, will take on New Zealand’s best rally drivers starting with the Rally of Otago this weekend, followed by five further events during the year. The young rally driver grew up in Governors Bay and spent much of his youth with a pair of skis under him. In summer, he’s on the harbour and, in winter, he’s on the snow. McLean was introduced to rallying when he worked at Magnum Motorsport, where he learnt about the workings of car preparation and caught the rally bug. Now a beekeeper, McLean is a rookie in the NZRC this year and will compete for the two-wheeldrive and junior NZRC titles. McLean has so far competed in a handful of South Island events, but has already been noticed as someone with strong potential in the sport. He was selected to receive training with Hayden Paddon. He received tutoring from Paddon and John Kennard, along with fitness and media trainers. McLean and Brennan have also both received some financial help from the Paddon Foundation. While McLean is new to the championship, navigator Brennan has had several years in the NZRC and has won the 2WD title twice navigating for Christchurch’s Hamish Anderson. “Sarah brings really valuable experience,” said McLean. “She knows what she’s doing calling pace notes, but also how all the procedures work. Having been to these events before means Sarah will be a huge help in my NZRC rookie year.” The 2005 Ford Fiesta McLean now owns has a big history. The car launched the career of 2015 NZRC champion Ben Hunt, who drove the car in 2009 as part of a scholarship. “The car is older but proven, READY: McLean and Brennan begin their NZRC campaign this weekend in the Otago Rally. PHOTOS: EUAN CAMERON AND SARAH FAULKNER and we have put in a lot of new parts to ensure it should run reliably all season,” said McLean. The team plan to compete in at least five of the six rounds in this year’s championship. The team is assisted by a lot of Christchurch people, including James Marshall, who helps with the mechanical work and provides some specialist parts. Jeff Judd and the team at Magnum have also provided help and encouragement, while Tony Gosling of Stadium Finance has provided some support. “We hope to make the podium in 2WD, but we will be up against a lot of good drivers in good cars, many of whom have a lot more experience than us,” said McLean. ”If we can get on the podium regularly then that will be a win for us.” •More sport, page 16 SPORT OPEN SAT & SUN Nehad, Anita, Ashleigh, Kellie and Grant Full Service Pharmacy including... • Passports Photos • Revlon Cosmetics and Revlon Club • Gifts and Gift Wrapping • Ear Piercing • Extensive Natural Health range • Scarves, Hats and Sunglasses • Focus on Natural Organic Skincare including Trilogy, Antipodes and Sukin Dispensary Service • Medico Packs • Quit Smoking Quitcards • Emergency Contraceptive Pill • Delivery Service Owned and operated by your phamacist, Grant Bell CAFÉ NOW OPEN 1005 Ferry Rd, Ferrymead.
