Osian Pryce is looking forward to the remaining rounds of the British Rally Championship (BRC) after opening his 2021 series account with a strong third place finish at the Neil Howard Stages in his Rocked-!T-backed Volkswagen Polo GTI R5. The event was Osian’s first rally for eight months, his first at the Oulton Park motor racing circuit and his second outing in the Melvyn Evans Motorsport-prepared Polo – yet he finished just eight seconds behind the event winner. A lengthy service halt after each of the eight short stages didn’t make settling back into the car and finding a rhythm...

Osian Pryce will return to the British Rally Championship (BRC) this year driving a Rocked-!T-backed Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 – with his title challenge beginning at the opening round of the 2021 series, the Neil Howard Stages at the Oulton Park Circuit in Cheshire on Monday 31 May.   This year’s BRC campaign marks Osian’s return to full time top-level competition for the first time since 2017, when he scored maximum BRC points on the Ypres Rally and led the series at the halfway point, before mechanical issues denied him the chance to fight for the title in the second...

Many years spent racing motorbikes and instructing high performance driving lead him to form Driven Ohm Racing as an extension of his successful automotive business. The MINI Cooper was the chosen vehicle for the teams debut season and in many ways it was the ideal car, fast, reliable and plenty of cheap parts if they crashed!
