 So Eamon, it's good to talk to you and delighted to be speaking to you just days after you took victory in the Junior World Rally Championship in Croatia. So first of all, many congratulations to you and Conor. A tremendous result. Yeah, thanks very much, Ashin. Thanks for having me. Yeah, a tremendous result. To get a win in the World Championship is something that I probably could never have dreamed of. And yeah, it's just took a while to sunken, but yeah, just pure class, you know, they're so, they don't come easy. I know I've only done two rounds, but you just know with the nature of them that there's so much effort and so much that has to go right for you to get a win. And look, it was just an amazing feeling to get it and have that, have that on the CV as such. It's, like I said, it's stuff of dreams, but we've put in a massive effort and everything this year and just on everything that we can do to get results and to have a payoff. And you have to have a bit of luck on your side too, which we did, but you know, everyone gets good and bad days in that sense. And it was a good day for us. So yeah, like I said, that's probably what I meant too. And I said there was someone looking down on us that day as well. We got our bit of luck, but it paid off. And yeah, it's, it's just been, just been amazing. Yeah, it was an emotional weekend. We've seen the way the WRC paid tribute to Craig Breen and obviously as an Irishman, you knew Craig and it was a difficult week for motorsport, but it just shows the way the pendulum sort of swings, doesn't it? Same in that there's sadness and emotion and then enjoy it at the end of the week. So it was, we would say it is an important one for Irish motorsport too with everything that went on. Yeah, yeah, I look at it was such an emotional week. You know, when we got the news, it was, you know, yourself is just one of them things very hard to digest and very hard to make it seem real. We weren't even sure if the Irish competitors were going to the event. So, you know, when we were over there, fair play to the WRC, they made a massive effort to make tribute and even high on the motorsport as well and a lovely ceremony on the Thursday. And, you know, that was, and that was very emotional as well. And for everybody, not just the Irish, you know, you can tell the whole motorsport community across the world felt the same pain. But yeah, while we're over there too, it was lovely to have all of the Irish there as well, both competitors and fans watching from the side. You know, it was, you really felt the sense of community and, you know, really, it really helped the drivers, I think, get through the whole thing as well. But yeah, like I said, it was to the extent written in the stars to have at least someone from Ireland win and, you know, it was just a small bit of positivity after obviously a massively tragic event. And yeah, just happy that it swung that way in the end. And I suppose in the sport of rallying as well, it shows in these long WRC events that you have to hang in there, that you have to be on your game the full weekend. There's no, there's no opportunity for, for lapsing. So there's not demon because you don't know when that opportunity to hit the front is going to appear. And that was very much the case for you lit in the Sunday sort of. Yeah, definitely. That's such a long weekend, like the whole way from it's a long week in general from Tuesday right up until Sunday. When you start Racky, you're, you're probably running off about four to five hours sleeping night if you're, if you're lucky. And, you know, by the time you start the rally, you're already, you're already pretty, pretty fatigued. And that's obviously where your fitness comes in. But yeah, come the, come the Sunday, you can imagine how drained you are. So you have to be, you know, maximum concentration and mistakes can happen so, so easily. The nature of the stages out in Croatia are just so, so tricky. Like you had everything from, you know, maybe four to five different types of tarmac, you concrete, you kind of gravel and muck that was better than despite the fact that it was 20 degrees. So tire choice was another thing because you had bone dry stages and then you'd stages that were half wet and mucky. So it was crazy. So it was so, so easy to make a mistake. We knew coming into the event that it was going to be like that. So we just made a plan and said, look, if we drive maturely and if we try to keep a good steady pace, don't get left behind, but don't overcook things, you know, you just never know where it will be come Sunday. And yeah, look, we stuck to it and there's plenty of opportunities throughout the weekend that presented themselves, you know, for like with people having drama ahead of us that would have meant that, oh, you know, if we push now, we might be able to make a few places, but we always stuck to the plan. I mean, we never got ahead of ourselves and look at obviously really, really paid off in the end and just shows that if you have a plan, you stick to it, it might just work out. Well, you must be having an absolute ball in this year where you're rallying at the moment because you've now taken your first junior WRC victory. And all of a sudden, you're going to hop into a car, a Hyundai R2 car, which has come via what you won last year is going to be in WRC Portugal. So it's a bit like Christmas all over again for you. So it is. And these weekends are coming thick and fast. So they are and there's huge opportunities here. Yeah, yeah. And Portugal, it's not even, it's actually that was so the prize that we won last year was with them from the BRC. And that's actually Finland in August, but I was very, very lucky and fortunate to be given the opportunity from the motorsport and rally academy to do WRC Portugal in their Hyundai, which was New Zealand I only received recently. But yeah, what an opportunity. I mean, to go out to WRC rally and be alone in a top, top car. It's absolutely surreal. And I can't thank them enough for the opportunity they've given me and they've been given these opportunities to other drivers as well. And I'd say we're probably the only country in the world that gives young drivers these opportunities. It really is phenomenal what what they're doing because anytime we've been out at the world events so far, other competitors have asked me, you know, what, what is the kind of academy all about? And when you say to them, they say, we'll go really wish our country because it just doesn't, it doesn't exist on the same level that we have it. And yeah, I'm just very fortunate to be part of it and to get the opportunity to now go to Portugal, learn the event, learn a rally to car. It's just mental. And, you know, especially obviously committing to a two year plan in the juniors in Portugal is often in the junior calendar and it could be next year. So if I can go next year and potentially the event done, it's, it's a massive advantage. So yeah, it's just adds up to the academy and everything they're doing. It's, it's unbelievable. You name drop fun land there. So you're at the start. It's coming up later in the year. That's the big one and WRC terms. What would you compete in Finland? And yeah, so in the British Rally Championship last year, we won the juniors in the prize was a WRC two event in a Hyundai. So yeah, I chose Finland because it's yeah, it's an iconic event and one that I was eager to go and go and do and it said it into the calendar nicely. So yeah, that will be in the same Hyundai rally to run by PCRS. But yeah, that's again, surreal, but that'll be a mega, a mega experience and to race on such an iconic event at this age is mental. So really looking forward to that as well. And I'm any more rounds of the junior you're going to do because you've already been in the snow, wasn't that right in Sweden? You won in Croatia. So what's what other junior events are you going to take on this year? Yeah, so with three more rounds of the junior championship, two weeks after board school, we'll head to Sardinia and Italy. And that'll be quite tough because you'll be dealing with high heat in the summer and some of the stages out there. They reach up to 50 kilometres long. So it's just going to be pure endurance and pure, a pure challenge. Then we head to Estonia and kind of middle of July. That's meant to be again, really tough, really, really fast. And then the end, the last round of the championship is in Greece in September. And again, another fairly endurance style event. But again, it's all going to be just savage learning and just, yeah, grateful to be there and grateful to the opportunity to do them. Yeah, hugely exciting for you. Listen, it's going to be a brilliant year. In any way, are you going to be able to fit that only go under national rally on? I've been trying so hard because it's, yeah, it's one of them ones. It still probably means the most to me. It's just, it's unreal to be sitting at the start line here, home rally. And we experienced that last year and made a bit of bad luck. But we'd love to have come back this year. One thing I have found with the world rallies is that, you know, for the guys who've done the stages before, they have such a big advantage because the stages, they don't change that much every year in all the world rallies. So, you know, there's events on around a similar time to the only wall that could potentially be in the calendar next year. And we have to try and take that into consideration as it's just a two year plan. And, you know, we want to try and exert absolutely everything out of it and leave nothing behind. So we'll see. But yeah, for now, it looks like it's going to swing that way. But I have tried everything to make it all possible. And look who knows still, but yeah, it's, it might have to wait a year, but looking forward to it nonetheless whenever it is. Just finally, we haven't mentioned them the entire interview as Connor, your co-driver, a really, really steady guy beside you. Oh, yeah, look here, to be honest, I'd say his job is as hard of the mind kills me to say it, but it's true. So the work and when you get taken up to this level, the work that he has to put in this is mental, like there's just so, so many things he has to make sure go right from his side that that are just vital. And, you know, as he'd say, calling the base notes is genuinely it's the easiest part, like there's just so many things to organize and think about and, you know, his work never, it never stops. But he took it all in his stride and he had everything so, so to the T. And I never had to question anything. It was, it was done for me. So yeah, it's, it's off to him for a moment. He stepped into this World Rally Championship for the first time with no experience beforehand. He's really taken it all in his stride. So yeah, it's a good thing to do. And listen, things are going good for, for you guys at the minute. And we wish you continued success. And I'm sure we'll be speaking again real soon. And Kelly, thanks for joining us. Thanks, Ashene.
