After a highly successful first season, Bowler has announced the Defender Rally Series for 2023. It’s been designed to offer entrants the chance to gain rally motorsport experience and knowledge. 2023 sees both RHD and LHD vehicles available for the first time, due to international demand.
Open to veteran competitors and novices with no previous competition experience, this series sees 12 teams take part in nine events. This includes seven competitive rounds in identical Defender rally cars. After the first private round, teams participate in six rounds of public events. They develop both the driving and organisational skills required of open competitive motorsport throughout the series. Novice competitors can look to Bowler, who offer necessary support and training that enables entrants to achieve the correct licensing to compete internationally.
Packages for the 2023 UK Championship start at £108,334 (plus VAT).
What you’re buying is:
An additional cost will come with competition organiser race entry fees.
You can expect full technical support on hand at every event. There are also support options available to competitors. This includes ‘Arrive and Drive’ where the rally car is entirely managed by Bowler for the duration of the 2023 UK Championship. It sees the cars professionally managed, cleaned, inspected, repaired if required, stored between competitions and delivered to each round. If you’re an international driver who’s travelling for the rounds, this would be an ideal option as the rounds take place in remote areas around the UK. It’s also a great option for those who are time-poor that wish to participate.
You can learn more about the challenge on the Bowler website.
