Five months ago the world of rallying was introduced to Kyle Tilley.
A successful circuit racer in the US and Asian Le Mans series, Tilley was no stranger to competition but as he pulled up to SS1 at Ojibwe Forests Rally in his 2005 Mitsubishi Evo late last August, no-one expected him to be one of the favorites for a National championship less than half a year later.
But since then Tilley has competed in seven additional rallies in four different countries, driving the likes of an MG Metro 6R4, a Mk2 Escort and a handful of Rally2 cars.
He’s had the likes of Alex Gelsomino and Martin Brady navigate for him, he’s rolled a car 20+ times down the side of a cliff, he’s won in both class and overall at multiple rallies, and he’s gained backing from Ford and M-Sport for his own rally team.
