Lando Norris expresses his desire to compete in rallying and says that it is possible for him to do an outing with a rally car at the end of this year.
The Britishman is currently driving for McLaren in Formula1 championship and has signed a multiyear contract with the team.
He went to Cumbria for photoshooting his clothing brand, Quadrant, that included a shoot with a rally car as the theme of his apparel line related to the off-road action.
Lat but not least, it must be mentioned that the base of M-Sport is located in Cumbria and is a a semi-factory team that takes part in World Rally Championship.
"I want to try some rallying at some point", Norris said.
"Our next collection with Quadrant clothing is a bit of an off-road vibe.
"So we recently went and did some stuff to record a piece for it that included rallying.
"And I just realised going there for the first time and witnessing it, how crazy those people are.
"It made me really, really want to have a go.
"I might start where there’s no trees, at the end of the year, I just want to have a go - in a safe place! "With tyre barriers somewhere.
"Like, car control and flicking it in and handbrake and timing and all of that stuff, it’s always good to do every now and then for like car control and to keep your wits about with more than just driving a Formula 1 car.
"It’s like karting.
"A lot of Formula 1 drivers like to do karting, because it gets them back in the feeling of feeling things and it’s very feeling-related in karting.
"Same with rallying, I just want to go and try something new".
