Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy driver William Creighton stood on the FIA Junior World Rally Championship podium for a second time in 2022.

William claimed third place at an unforgiving EKO Acropolis Rally Greece, the final round of the season. He
overcame an early puncture on his Ford Fiesta Rally3, to round out his Junior WRC campaign with a place on the rostrum, adding to his Rally Sweden third place in February.

“That was probably the toughest rally I have ever done,” said Creighton at the finish.

“It’s such an iconic event and one which I have been really looking forward to, so it wasn’t really a surprise to see how rough and tricky the roads were going to be, especially running quite far down the order. But adding into that the searing temperatures, made it so very exhausting too. “

“We drove with our heads all rally long and resisted the temptation to go flat out. It was a tactical drive, especially on Friday with no service during the day and in a way, it felt odd to have such a controlled pace, but I`m glad it worked out in the end. To come away with third on an event like the Acropolis is certainly a huge achievement and I can’t thank Liam [Regan, co-driver] enough for his support at the weekend and all season long.”
