Interview: Phil Garratt & Kieron Brown

Phil Garratt and Kieron Brown recently won their category in the gruelling 7,610-mile, 2013 Peking to Paris Rally. VR’s European Editor, Mike Jiggle, wanted to know just how this was achieved, from the spark of the idea to participate, to the selection of the vehicle and the preparation of it, as well as the terrific adventure of participating in this epic rally organized by the Endurance Rally Association. The original event was held in 1907, the dawn of motoring adventures, where the winner would receive a magnum of Champagne for successfully being the first to traverse the 10,000-mile journey.

Before we look at the 2013 Peking to Paris Rally, just how did both of you get into rallying?
