The wheels are in motion for a massive 2012 for WA rally driver Tom Wilde.

The inspiring 24 year old is leading the four-wheel drive competition of the Bosch Australian Rally Championship (ARC) after two wins from two rounds in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X.

He’ll aim for a third when he tackles the fast forestry stages of the International Rally of Queensland (IROQ) for the first time next weekend (May 25-27). 

Lucky for him, co-driver Lee Tierney has competed in the event twice before.

Wilde says:

“We’re planning on another podium finish and hoping to consolidate our lead in the championship.”

The Nannup local recognised a childhood dream by winning his home event – the Quit Forest Rally (QFR). He was the first WA driver to do that in 20 years.
