Osian Pryce has rushed to Mexico, where he’ll contest the famous La Carrera
Panamericana Road Race.
The newly-crowned British rally champion will drive a 1963 Jaguar Mk2 in the
Historic B section and be co-driven by Claire Williams.
Osian Pryce you are the British Rally Champion! 🏆

“A very last-minute opportunity came up last week to be a stand in driver for the
Apparently Racing team on the famous La Carrera Panamericana Road Race,” said
Pryce.
“The 3,500km journey over seven days will be a completely different event to what
I’ve ever done before but a huge challenge nevertheless.
“I’ll be at the wheel of a Mk2 Jaguar, and it will be an all-Welsh crew in the car as
Claire Williams is the car’s original co-driver.
Huge congratulations Osh.
Today, you've joined a list of some pretty illustrious names, in being crowned British Rally Champion.
Well deserved!

“I have no idea what to expect, but will take it all in, and hopefully get to the end of
this event.”
The La Carrera Panamericana starts from the Gulf of Mexico port city of Heroica
Veracruz on 14 October and finishes in Durango, a small city near the New Mexico
border, on 20 October.
