Hi, friends!
It is not an easy job to be a co-driver. I tried it once and it finished with brutal shunt (not my fault) and after that I decided not to do this anymore.
This year I went to a rally school because we all need an education. At the end of the course, my mentor (alo a driver I fought against in February) drove me a few laps at the gravel circuit and Irealizd that I could never be a co-driver.
And world known co-driver Paul Nagle, who has five wina with Kris Meeke at Citroen, has more then 100 WRC starts. To be precise, he did 102 starts and with Rally Catalunya Spain just around the corner, it will be his 103rd start.
He decided to quit the co-driver's job because he now has two small kids at home and I don't think that his salary is too big at M-Sport Ford because they are just semi-works team.
He is open for a replacement job but not on a full time bases, just for a rally or two.
I can only say that he had a really nice career in the top of motorsport. Great stuff...
