Interview with Cameron Davies, 2016 DMACK Fiesta ST Rally champion and Contender in the 2017 British Rally Championship

Those of you who follow my social media profiles will have noticed that I recently attended GreenFleet Scotland, a fleet event focused on increasing the uptake of low emission, hybrid and electric powertrains in fleet services and generally increasing awareness and uptake of efforts to make our cars greener.

I’ve a longer post in the works summing up the day and differences to last year’s event, but for now I’ve included – for the first time on McMotors – a bit of audio from the day.

I got chatting to 2016 DMACK Fiesta ST Rally champion Cameron Davies, who’s contesting this year’s British Rally Championship in a Peugeot 208. Cameron was accompanying visitors on their test drives and generally making sure no one did anything really silly in the cars BMW and the other brands had kindly brought along for people to try out on Ingliston’s historic circuit.

In the clip, Cameron and I discuss his racing career so far, how running up mountains helps him prepare for rallying in his Peugeot, and what it's like to wheelspin on a track in 5th gear - as Jack drives a BMW 116d, which doesn't wheelspin in 5th gear, around a dry Ingliston circuit.



The videos Cameron mentions in the clip for the Peugeot 208 Black edition and the 44 years of BMW M cars can be found below.

  1. If you have got a day to spare, want to explore the roads of New Zealand, then treat yourself to Redline Run Car Rally adventure. All you need is a car and a road map, then off you go around the roads. Celebrate and party with people.
