Craig Parry has been forced to quit co-driving on the advice of his doctor, following injuries sustained in a testing accident earlier this year. The 39-year old from Llanfyllin has enjoyed a long and distinguished career, and is best known for becoming British Rally Champion with Elfyn Evans in 2016.
