British Duo, Richard Crozier and navigator Craig Parry will take on the E-Rally Monte Carlo behind the wheel of the Alpine A290. Parry, an engineering geologist at AtkinsRéalis, will return to the cockpit of the all-electric hot hatch, after he and driver Ashleigh Morris finished third in the Category Two International Class on ecoRally Scotland earlier this year.
That secured Alpine’s Category Two Manufacturer title for the event, thanks to French duo, 10-time French Rally Champion Emmanuel ‘Manu’ Guigou, and co-driver Emilien Le Borgne, took first place in class. They will also be in Monte Carlo in the Alpine A290.
Driver Crozier is new to the Alpine A290 but has enjoyed an “extensive career in UK and international motorsport.” He acted as clerk of the course on ecoRally Scotland earlier this year and has competed in the British Rally Championship and World Rally Championship and other national rallies, as both co-driver and driver. The British duo in the 220hp Alpine A290 GTS model.
E-Rallye Monte Carlo will run until 18th October and is a race exclusively for electric vehicles, showcasing how motorsport can contribute to innovative design and engineering. It will see over 60 crews competing across Europe, taking on a 1000km route over four days, using roads and mountain passes made famous by the Rallye Monte Carlo. Rather than getting there as quickly as possible, the competitors are scored on speed and energy efficiency over ‘regularity’ stages.
