2007 Tesco 99 Octane MSA British Rally champion Guy Wilks has launched a fresh appeal for support as he looks to secure himself a drive with the works Su🌄baru World Rally Team next year.

Wilks is hoping to raise the funds necessary to get a seat with the Banbury-based outfit through the 'Wilks 500 Club' investment/spon🥀sorship scheme, which initiated back in July.

A statement to the media read:

"Guy ✤Wilks is in a race against time to land a seat with the 🌱Subaru World Rally Team for 2009 - and he needs Britain to back him.

"Guy is appealing for all British rally fans, motor clubs, businesses - everyone who shares our passion for the sp🧔ort - to get involved in the Wilks 500 Club investment/sponsorship scheme."

S🌱peaking back in July, the Englishman noted: "Driving for Subaru would be the realisation of a dream for me and I think it would really give British rally fans something to cheer. It would be fantastic♋.

"We have spent a long time working on the Wilks 500 Club, making sure there is something for everyone and it offers real value for money. And I would like to think British rallying, at e🔯very level, would get a lift from having a Brit back in a Subaru.

"Whether it's five pals clubbing together or a business who sees this as a big maౠrketing opportunity, I would be very grateful🅘 for your support.

"David Richards [Subaru WRT team boss] ▨has talked about wanting a Brit back in his team in the near future - and I want to be that Brit. He has achieved amazing things with Prodrive. He has made Subaru synonym♋ous with rallying and he helped mould Colin McRae and Richard Burns into world champions. I know, given time, he could do the same with me.

"It's so frustrating to sit on the sidelines and watch my old JWRC rivals Dani Sordo, P-G [Andersson], Urmo Aava, Jari-Matti Latvala - all guys I could beat - setting fastest times and taking podiums in th💃e WRC."

"Please back me by joining the Wilks 500 Club."
