About the Drivers

Driver: Greg Lemmon

Born 24 March 1964. First drove competitively in a GB Galant (1600cc) in 1984 at a motorkhana and then competed in the 1985 ACT Clubman Series until a triple roll in the Mobil Erindale Trial in Oct. '85 ended a very short rally career. Over the next 15 years Greg maintained his interest in motorsport and honed his skills riding dirt bikes in the forests around Canberra until his return to rallying as a co-driver in 2000. He purchased the Corolla in June 2001 and ran the car in the Dell Classic Stages Rally only days later.

Greg drove the 000 Safety Car for the Subaru Rally of Canberra in 2002 and 2003.

In 2002 Greg won the Dell Classic Stages Rally outright, finished third in the ACT Championship and picked up numerous class wins along the way.

2003 was a stand-out year for Greg and John Paul, having won the Australian Rally Championship in Class N3, the NSW State Championship in N3 and the NSW Clubman Championship in N3.

Co-Driver: John Paul De Sousa

Born 6 November 1964. Associated with rallying for many years as an official for the Rally of Canberra. First time in a rally car was the Caltex Starmart Rally in 2001.
