VOLKSWAGEN fleet marketing manager Sam Roach and co-driver Mike Smith, HSBC fleet manufacturer liaison manager, today started their bid for glory in the Rally of Great Britain, the concluding round of this year's World Rally Championship. Driving a 1.4-litre Polo, Roach is making his debut in the rally after contesting one international rally - the Manx International Rally in September. The Network Q Rally of Great Britain started in Cardiff and finishes in the city on Sunday after 250 miles. The Polo will contest class N1 for production cars up to 1,400cc.
