The sole all-female crew of Meghan O’Kane and Nikki Addison have placed 3rd in the Junior British Rally Championship, an incredible result for a weekend of challenging weather and difficult stages.

The duo progress from the Scottish Rally Championship (SRC) competing in the competitive BRC4 class in their Ford Fiesta R2, taking their first podium in the Championship.

O’Kane, hailing from Kyle, and Addison, from Inverness, have been prominent figures in the SRC over the years, also tackling an extensive list of events near home with O’Kane securing the Junior SRC title in 2024.

“This is my first time in Wales, Nikki drove here last year, so we are excited to get a Welsh Rally.” Commented O’Kane.

“We both started off co-driving and then we moved to driving and became friends through that. We thought it would be good to get in the car together and it’s worked so far. We get on really well.”

“It’s great being a woman in Rally, just do it! Don’t think about it.”

Addison is not only an experienced co-driver but is also an accomplished driver contesting the National Asphalt series last season in a Honda Civic and winning the Ladies Title. Now, Addison will swap the drivers seat for a set of notes, to guide O’Kane through the six BRC events on the roster.

Their journey, both together and separately, has been marked by consistent performances and a commitment to honing their skills outside of Scottish events. Transitioning to the BRC presents new challenges, including more demanding stages and heightened competition.
