Autorenporträt

Philip Young was so determined not to be a spectator standing on the sidelines of the 1977 London to Sydney Marathon that he built a Magenta kit-car for £1000, and entered the rally with the smallest and cheapest international rally car in the line-up. He has taken part in six Himalayan rallies, in everything from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Morris Minor and a works Skoda, to an ex-works Healey and Triumph TR8. Philip is credited with having kick-started the historic rally movement with events such as the Pirelli Classic Marathon, the Monte Carlo Challenge, Around the World in 80 Days, Classic Safari, and, in 1997, the 90th anniversary of the Peking to Paris. Philip has seen where entrants go wrong, and how bush mechanics make roadside repairs to get a car going again. Having entered rallies himself with no money, he is a keen advocate of "a stitch in time saves nine," and believes that good preparation, even if from a garden shed, can help many a tortoise overtake a less well-prepared hare. Today, he runs the Endurance Rally Association near Oxford.
