Heart will always stay put in homeland, nevertheless whether you are discharging your duties at any part of the planet. The same is the situation for Molly Taylor, who will be driving in the ERC championship for 'Ladies title' this season, hence missing her home event of the WRC which incidentally happen on same dates on opposite sides of the planet.
An official statement released explains the same below, read-on.
PROGRAMME CHANGE FOR
MOLLY TAYLOR , SHE WILL CONTEST RALLY POLAND INSTEAD OF RALLY AUSTRALIA
Change of programme for Molly Taylor, who earlier in the season
had planned to contest in Rally Australia, and who will instead take part in
Rally Poland, ninth round of the European Rally Championship.
This choice was made within United Business both to defend the
first position reached in the European Ladies' Trophy and to increase the
wealth of experience of the strong Australian lady driver.
Molly Taylor e Seb Marshall in Barum Rally Zlin were safely in
front of the other female crews, a result they reached at the end of a smooth
performance with an eye on the championship standings. For the United Business
crew the next step will be the challenging 70° Rally Poland, a gravel event
held in Mikolajki from 13th to 15th of September and which Molly Taylor will
tackle with the DS3 R3, a car with which she has already contested 5 rounds of
the 2013 European Championship. This year's Rally Poland is expected like never
before by fans and this is due to the fact that Robert Kubica will enter and
the expectations of Polish fans are huge. “I am happy to be able to race in
Poland because first of all it is an opportunity to increase my experience and
because the race, I am told, is really fascinating; besides the challenging
opponents, the fans make every moment of the rally very special - said
Molly Taylor - on the other hand I am so sorry not to be in Rally Australia,
it is my home event, my heart feeling was to be there but, after a careful
analysis with my manager Pier Liberali and my co-driver Seb Marshall , we
decided to give up Australia and to be in Poland. The logical goals of the
European Championship ranking prevailed on the sentimental side, I will once
again face a completely new rally, I am not afraid, Seb and I will try to give
it our best as always”.
Pier Liberali patron of United Business said ”I have been
thinking about this programme change for a while, and when I explained the
reasons both Molly Seb with great professionalism understood and shared them; I
had no doubts, they are proving two great professionals. Having done less
rallies than her opponents and also because of two unlucky events, until now I
had to ask Molly to limit by much her desire to go flat out, looking to the
Trophy at this stage it was essential to be at the finish of the races, she did
it three times and has always beaten her rivals with relative ease, now that
the leadership in the Female Trophy has been reached I think it is fair that in
Rally Poland our crew has the go-ahead to fulfill their desire to attack. Both
in Sibiu and in Zlin I saw in the eyes of Molly and Seb some frustration, it is
never nice to ask a driver to go slowly and finish the race, but I had to do so
and with great professionalism they listened to my recommendations . In Poland
they will run as they deem it best and I am hopeful that this year's races have
taught them to manage a rally at the best. I always say that to win trophies
and championships you have to get to the end of each rally”.
The Rally of Poland in 2013 will offer live television show,
thanks to the agreement between the promoter of the European Championship,
Eurosport, and the LOTOS oil group sponsor of the event, as well as of Robert
Kubica's programme comprising ERC and WRC and which means that four of the
special stages will be broadcast "live": the two runs through the
19.14 km Mragowo stage and the two on the 23.77 km Mateuszek stage, which will
also be the closing stage of the event.
