Jawa versus Citroen
Reigning world speedway champion Tai Woffinden and rallycross star Liam Dorna recently got together for some hard-charging fun on their respective steedsScunthorpe-born Perth-bred speedway champion Tai Woffinden, who was crowned the youngest ever world champion in 2013, recently put his skills to the test against multiple X-Games medallist rallycrosser Liam Doran on a rain-lashed oval in the UK.
Woffinden was aboard his usual mount, a GM-engined Jawa, while Liam Doran was in his 600hp turbo-charged Citroen DS3. See the end result below.
“It was great having Liam on the track with me at the same time; he’s a great guy and can seriously drive a car,” said Woffinden. “It was good to get out and cut a few laps together. The video is awesome and I’m stoked that we managed to bring the idea together.”
Liam added: “Drifting through the corners with Tai right up on the door handles of my car was pretty crazy. I’m used going wheel-to-wheel with other rallycross cars, but sharing the same piece of track with a speedway bike was on a different level.
"We were trying to get as close to each other as possible through the corners; but it was tough picking him out through the mud on the windshield and the glare from the green lamps we fitted for night time filming. The final edit is off the hook, and I’m sure people will enjoy it.”
Woffinden began his world title defence in lean circumstances in New Zealand on April 5, but will be looking to bounce back when round two is held in Poland on April 26. The round will also feature three Aussies: 2012 world champion Chris Holder, Darcy Ward and Troy Batchelor.
