Q & A with double British Rally Champion Keith Cronin

With four rounds of the 2012 MSA British Rally Championship under his belt and a new car and team to adjust to, double champion Keith Cronin has already proved that he can adapt to whatever is thrown his way this year.

He began the season with a guest drive in a Twingo Renaultsport R1 Trophy car, but decided that he had the bug and was quickly at the wheel of a Citroën DS3 R3 and vying for overall position. His back-to-back wins and second place put him in a strong position for a possible third title, so we decided to ask him the secret of his success.
