Readers of this blog may already know that NETELLER is sponsoring rally co-driver Robert Fagg as he chases his dream of winning the UK Fiesta SportTrophy. But you may not know why we’ve picked Rob to be the latest NETELLER hero.

Driven by a dream

Since becoming a rally co-driver in 2000, Robert has emerged as fierce competitor capable of contesting championships in Great Britain and beyond. Residing in Port Erin, Isle of Man, the 30-year-old IT worker chases his rally dreams when he isn’t working his day job for Manx Telecom.

His passion for racing has seen him participate in over 70 national and international events, in Great Britain, Ireland and China. He has worked with more than 20 different drivers.

From early in his rallying career, Rob has done reconnaissance and made pacenotes. By describing the route in extreme detail for his driver, Rob contributes hugely to the success of the car. And he has thus far been hugely successful.
