AJW Performance Drivers

Neal Liddle – Rally

Neal Liddle has been active in one form of motorsport or another since 2009. All throughout college he would keep track of the names within WRC. Marcus Gronholm, Colim McRae, Malcom WIlson, Tommi Makinen were just a few drivers that captured his interests. Ultimately it was the energy and enthusiasm of the Drivers Champion Peter Solberg that willed Neal to begin a path towards rally.

Autocross courses were a great learning ground to improve driving skill and technique. By running a 2008 STi at local events under the mentorship of Anthony Ricci, Neal began to gain confidence as well as smoothness. In 2009 Neal began running a WRX in the USRC as a course opening car. Speeds were slow and the car made it home safely after its first event. The car began to transition from being just a plain WRX into an actual rally car within the following year. Cages were fitted, better dampers added. The car was gutted and campaigned for every eastern event in the USRC as a course car. Speeds crept past 110 mph over blind crests and brakes could be seen glowing as night approached. 2011 saw the car set better times than the previous year, nearly beating a stage record if it wasn’t for a spin. Finally after 3 long years of preparing both driver and car they will be competing at Black River Stages in an open class Subaru WRX. Alongside him will be his Co-Driver from the beginning, J Sibya.
