Driving both a Mitsubishi Evo IX and Skoda Fabia R5 during the season, Garry was uncatchable and secured his first championship in October, taking the Scottish Rally Championship honours in his third year of trying with victory at the Carlisle Stages.

That accolade was followed up with a Cambrian Rally win in Wales, netting him the Motorsport UK National Rally Title, before a thrilling Rallynuts Stages blast, saw Garry clinch the Welsh and BTRDA championships on the very last stage of the final round of the season.

With four major championships to his name in 2021, Garry storms into the record books and proves beyond doubt, that he is a star of the future.
