Top Co-Drivers
(the core element of any great rally team!)
Top British, Irish, Italian, New Zealand,
Australian, American, Finnish, Swedish, Spanish
and World Rally Championship rally co-drivers take the glory
Full list of exclusive interviews with Top Co-drivers from around the world
| << previous | Page 1 | next >> |
| Suggestions so far.... | |
| Currently
facing extinction, but how about a MAP of Co-Drivers?
Or maybe a FAULT of co-drivers,
as it always but always seems to be our fault...... |
|
| Surely
co-drivers come into their own at the end of the event? Therefore
it must be a PROTEST OF CO-DRIVERS
Mark
Mason |
|
| As your normal co-driver is
a jacket-with-all-the-badges-wearing type, a computer geek and a general
boffin brain, and knows all the results of every bloody rally that ever
happened as well as every rule in the book, I reckon they ought to be
called 'A GEEK OF CO-DRIVERS'
I'm sure they will all agree! Richard Sykes |
|
| Given some of the drivers
that we co-drivers have to sit with, the proper collective noun for co-drivers
surely must be 'A POTTI OF CO-DRIVERS' Neil Dashfield (Dashers) 3/5/03 |
Surely more than one co-driver
would have to be called a 'SURPLUS' of co-drivers! Scott Cleverdon 13/10/01 |
| A KNOWLEDGE of co-drivers....... ...after all they know everything about the car, the entry, the budget, PR, sponsorship, map-reading, time-keeping, service scheduling, tyre choices...the list is endless. Brod Purdy |
The collective term for a
group of rally co-drivers should in fact be a 'FLEET' because similar
to their close associate, the car, many have optional extras (e.g. a rare
skill of reading quickly, excellent sense of direction, and precision
timing).
Martin McGarrity |
| Codrivers / Navigators are
a group of: Mindadept At Deviously Manipulating Extreme Navigation. I rest my case! No. 1 Mad Man Kenny Owen 25/10/02 |
This year, in San Remo, in
our group of friends (22 in total!), there were at least eight co drivers,
all of which claimed to know better than the others, every road in Northern
Italy, all the best viewing positions and all the spectator black spots,
even which is the best restaurant to eat in.
Therefore, the collective term for a group
of co drivers should be 'an ARGUMENT of co-drivers'. |
| Co-drivers, in my book, have
to have a brain cell missing to start with. I've co-driven and enjoyed it but I prefer driving - something
to grab hold of - though co-driving still is fun. My co-driver tells me
to slow down "ehhhh", and they always know the story better
than you and you were ruddy driving!
Their group name should be 'A LOAD OF OLD CLAP TRAP'. Stephen Walshaw |
Well, they are noisy, (especially
post-rally) and prone to doing themselves loads of damage...
It would have to be a BARRAGE of co-drivers! Ciaran Kelly
|
| A collection of co-drivers
just has to be a 'GOSSIP'.
Bryan Hull |
A PLATOON of co-drivers!
Ray Summers |
| My suggestive name for more
than one in a room would be 'A GAGGLE OF WOBBLEGOBS'.
It's funny that when a driver gets asked a question they (the co-driver) always pipe up, and when telling a story, you'll pause for a breath, and they will jump in and tell the punch line!! Yuk Hodgson Click here to read how Yuk once covered a damsel in distress with mud from head to foot! |
First suggestion is A GAGGLE
of co-drivers!
Anon (and I'm not surprised!)

|
And just so they can get their
own back................ What DO co-drivers say about drivers? |
| We thought it was about time for co-drivers to have their say about the maniac in the driving seat. So, what's your opinion? Keep it reasonably clean, please! |
| Suggestions so far... |
| A Driver's SPEED
is relative to the depth of his pockets ... oops, I meant to say his co-driver's
pocket!
James McSherry |
| Quotes from Mandy
Roberts in the car ......... 1. "How far is it to the next control? Have I got time for a fag?" 2. "Stop singing." 3. "Are you sure it's a left 9 ?" Derek Davies (Prof.) 5/6/03 |
| So then, drivers have
an attention span of two corners and a straight...? They haven't
sat with Mad Mick Jones then...!
He's always asking me, "What's at
the end of this straight??" |
| They haven't got a clue.
They just push the pedals! Still learning 22/2/03 |
| Drivers are like children.
On an event you have to tell them where to be and when to be there; they
even have to be shown where to sign on the signing-on sheet and you even
have to make sure they have been to the toilet before you set off! But, all this taken into account - we need each other. Tony Bassett 19/12/02 |
| Every time I get more
and more convinced that drivers are very weird people! Dani Guirro Catalan co-driver in Spanish Asphalt Championship 18/12/02 |
| You know what drivers
are like, they have the attention span of two corners and a straight!!!
A top co-driver! |

It just had to happen, didn't it......... What do DRIVERS have to say about co-drivers? |
| It just had to happen, didn't it? Drivers clearly want their say about their 'wonderful' co-drivers and who are we to deny them? |
| First suggestion |
| Can you co-drivers beat this one?
During a rally in Belgium we got onto a flat 800, (which gives the driver time to look at gauges, listen for any rattles, etc.). After the 400 was given :- Care 90R into KL and KR !! Hairpin R. Well, I wasn't listening, 'cos I was looking at gauges, etc. I asked for a repeat, upon which I was told, "I've told you once, I won't tell you again!" A quick repeat was then given. At the end of the stage, I asked, "What was all that about?" The reply came back, "I'd turned over to the next page!" Thanks, Crofty (Gob on a stick). Good in the car, c..p in the bar. Yuk Hodgson |
