Rob Willshire
Biography
I am a 2nd generation motorsport competitor. The 3rd and 4th are coming along nicely.
I started Rally in 1977 up to International (European) level. Raced single seaters and tin tops at club level and finally fell in love with Superkarts. I have coached several drivers to National and International Championship level. In addition, I have also coached and ran a driver who won the National Superkart Championship and UK Cup. Worked on navigational training for beginner rally co-drivers and drivers with Basingstoke Motor Club. I have also been able to coach some of these new co-drivers.
