Subaru rally driver Cody Crocker will drive for Les Walkden Rallying team in next week’s Repco Rally Australia, the 10th round of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Crocker was originally part of an Indonesian team, but his participation in the rally was at a stake because of freight complications. Les Walkden Rallying came to the rescue, offering a deal which will have Crocker drive a 2008 Subaru WRX STI group N at the event.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity, and is a huge relief after the problems that looked to have ended our chances of competing,” Crocker said. “The car will run in a similar specification to the Subaru I use in the Asia-Pacific Championship. It will have the diff and engine mapping settings from my APRC car, so it should be very similar in performance.”
