Kent’s Louise Cook will be back on track when she takes part in the World Rally Championships in Finland.

 

The 28 year old from Maidstone is hoping to reignite her passion for rally driving and get back amongst the thick of the action after missing out for the past few years.

Cook was all set to compete last year, but a medical setback put paid to that, but she’s not focusing on the future:

“It has been a tough run, finally managing to get the funds to get back to WRC last year following a 3 year fund raising struggle was an amazing feeling.”

“Then to have a massive knock back, ending up in A&E rather than on a ferry to the rally and losing the committed funds in the process was pretty hard to take.”

“It has made me stronger, these things always do. The good news now is that I am 100% fixed, no screws digging in my artery and my arm is stronger than it has ever been.”

“If at first you don’t succeed try, try, try, try, try, try again, and again, and again, and again, and again! I am trying again!”

“I have entered into the world famous Rally Finland. It is a sensational event and the most exciting rally event in the whole World Rally Championship season.”

“It’s amazingly challenging roads have the most dramatic jumps! This helps it be one of the most popular followed rally events around the world.”

To get back on the grid, Cook needs the support of the Kent community:

“It is really hard to find massive sponsors like the top teams. I am still breaking through in the sport. I have had success in 2012 becoming the first female to gain a FIA Rally Championship Trophy and it is nice to be achieving such things, it is just not enough.”

“I need to be able to fight to the next level. I need a large army of supporters to make things happen. I have been very fortunate and so grateful for the amazing support I have had over the years.”

“I have met some amazing people who have got involved with what I am trying to achieve and they really make things happen.”

“I am trying something different for this event. I am offering larger packages for the one round rather than the whole season.”

“This gives some great value branding placements at a fraction of the cost. It gives the chance to secure some of the best places on the rally car and the best exposure from the event too.”

“Rally Finland Title sponsorship, everything in pink, is available at £6,000. It includes a prominent race suit chest branding position and a day with me and the driving simulator for an event of your choice. It also includes some videos to be broadcast through your channels.”

“The other most dominant positions available are the bonnet middle, rear bonnet and the rear quarter stripes. The bonnet middle (light blue) is available at £3,500, the rear bonnet (dark blue) is £2,500 as are each of the rear quarter stripes.”

“These positions are all five figure sums for the season so it gives a brilliant way of having higher impact branding for less. The background colour will match your brand.”

“There are also opportunities for placements on the front bumper and splitter for Rally Finland.”
