Five young drivers have registered for the Pirelli Star Driver Competition at Rally Queensland, open to all competitors under the age of 27 years old. Competitors include the very experienced Australian Eli Evans who came very close to taking the PSDC title in Malaysia last year and Kiwi Hayden Paddon who finished third on points in the same event.  

Australian Glen Raymond added his name to the list and is surely a contender after winning the last round of the Australian Rally Championship.

Fellow Australians Brendan Reeves and Nathan Quinn will also be hoping to do well and qualify for the final shootout at Rally Australia, 2-6 September 2009. The winner of the final will get a fully paid Group N drive on six events in the 2010 World Rally Championship.
