Coral Taylor Takes A Break From Neal Bates

It’s one of the longest relationships in motorsport, probably the world over, but at the upcoming International Rally of Queensland Neal Bates and Coral Taylor will temporarily part ways breaking a partnership that has stood since 1993.

“It’d be fun to say it’s something dramatic like after all these years Neal’s finally realised he actually wants to be a co-driver!” quipped Coral.

“But in truth for the first time in a long time I’ve been able to get my family together for a holiday, we’re going to Italy, and the only time all of our calendars crossed just happened to coincide with Rally Queensland.”
