Fred Gallagher - Director

During a motorsport career spanning 30 years, Fred Gallagher has earned a reputation as one of Britain's most experienced and successful co-drivers. In that time, teams and organising bodies alike have also seized upon his wealth of experience and the Ulsterman has filled the role of Clerk of the Course for Britain's round of the FIA World Rally Championship since 1994 as well as for the 50th anniversary East African Safari Rally. In addition, he has undertaken rally consultancy work in the US and Middle East and was Strategy Manager to the Nissan Rally Raid Team for the 2003 and 2004 Dakar Rallies. He is also active as an FIA Steward and delegate in the World Cross Country Cup.

Fred has won some of the world's most exotic and spectacular rallies, from the steaming jungles of the Ivory Coast to Kenya's mammoth Safari Rally - an event he has won three times - and the barren territories of Morocco's Atlas Rally. Partnering some of the sports most legendary drivers, including the late Henri Toivonen, Björn Waldegård, Timo Salonen, Ari Vatanen and Juha Kankkunen, with nine different factory teams, Fred has won five FIA World Rally Championship rallies and taken outright victory in no fewer than seven FIA Cross Country Championship events. In 1997 he and Ari Vatanen won the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies.
