The team of Erika Detota and Mary Warren are pleased to announce an exciting new partner – Team O’Neil. The school’s support has allowed the girls to test and tune their Subaru Impreza before their next event. “I am glad Erika was able to shakedown the car before the event, as it will be her first time in Canada. We would like to work closer in the future with other teams to make sure their car set ups are proper for conditions and driving styles.” says the school’s founder and multiple rally champion Tim O’Neil.

This isn’t the first time Erika has worked with Team O’Neil. In 2009 after completing the 5-day rally school she competed in her first National rally event with an instructor and Team O’Neil car. “The school was the most important step to my success, the instructors are some of the best drivers in the country and the skills they teach provide a foundation for any aspiring driver,” said Detota.

In preparation for competing in the Canadian Rally Championship for the first time, the duo will be attending OzRally Pro training with Alex and Rhianon Gelsomino, world championship co-drivers, who teach a class for teams looking to improve their note making. Prior to all rally events teams are granted access to the roads they will race on, in what is called Reconnaissance (Recce). In the Rally America series the team receive notes generated by a computer system to review and revise during their pass. In the Canadian Championship you either write your own or purchase written notes. Alex and Rhianon will train Mary and Erika to write their own notes that work best for their team and how to modify for faster and safer results.
