About Scott Pedder
SCOTT MICHAEL PEDDER
EMAIL SCOTT!
Scott is one of Australia's leading rally drivers with success at local, state, national and international levels over a career that now spans over 10 years. From 2002 Scott has been a nominated point scorer for Mitsubishi in the Australian Rally Championship culminating in Scott joing the Mitsubishi Factory Team, "Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Australia" for the 2005 and 2006 Australian Rally Championships.
In 2007, Mitsubishi Australia decided to not enter a team within the Australian Rally Championship which lead Scott, with major support of naming rights sponsor Trading Post, to fulfil a life-long dream of competing at the 2007 Rally New Zealand, round 11 of the World Rally Championship. An accident on day one of competition halted progress however second outright in group N over the final two days combined (beaten only by eventual event winner Arai) showed Scott's potential against the world's best production car drivers.
2008 will see a full programme in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship.
