Press Release provided by The Motorsport Files – Filming will soon begin on the first in a new series of biographical documentary programmes aimed at showcasing the lives, careers and legacies of those involved with the sport. In the first miniseries we delve into the history of one of the most successful players in British and World rallying.
Phil Short has enjoyed success as a championship winning co-driver, team boss, sporting advisor and has helped to develop some of the WRC’s top talent to victory as part of the Pirelli Star Driver program, later to become the JWRC.
Phil has previously collaborated with Jonathan Pulleyn on his book, The Yorkshire Rally Mafia, in which his early career is briefly explored. This miniseries will expand on this to paint a complete picture of his amazing career. A career that saw back to back championships in Britain in 89/90 and 77 WRC victories later in management.
Phil was involved during the golden periods in the history of the sport, in iconic classic rally cars from Gr 4 to Gr B and into Gr A and WRC, and has sat alongside some legendary drivers in his time. Expect a modern cinematic style of documentary, shot in HD, that brings together a great story told by Phil himself including never before told stories, archival footage and narrated by WRC’s Jon Desborough.
