The 2024 KickAss Products Motorsport Australia Queensland Rally Championship (QRC) has reached its conclusion, with Ryan Williams and co-driver Brad Jones finishing as outright champions for the 2024 season.

Although they had a rocky first round DNF at the Manumbar Rally, the pair achieved 237 Championship points, dominating every round since.

This is the duo's first ever title win in the QRC, a very thrilling accomplishment for their career.

“It felt bloody good to get it!” Williams said.

“We got it halfway through the last event, so it was good to be able to do some celebrating towards the end.

“I’m very elated, many people put a lot into making this year happen.”

Williams and Jones were able to make significant improvements in their driving and strategy compared to previous seasons.

Williams expressed the changes he made in his driving style in order to make this victory possible.

“I’ve realised you can win a Championship by going fast when you know you can and going slow when it's just not working out for you, and making the best of the situation you've got ahead of you.," Williams said.

“It’s important to have a game plan from stage to stage to break each race down into parts.

“The roads that are rough you must take it easy on the car, and as for the stages you know you can do well on, attack and make your margins greater.”

Williams is thankful for everyone who has been there to support him throughout the journey.

“My father preps the car along with me and I drag him along to every event,” Williams explains.

“There are also many key people to even kickstart our Championship back at the start, like Neil Woolley, who shifted in financially to further support us.”

The Champion will celebrate the achievements of 2024 and doesn't want to put too much pressure on maintaining the title.

“The season takes a lot out of you and this year was probably the biggest year in terms of events.” Williams said.

“Of course, we never say never when it comes to winning and we'll see what next year beholds.

"Yet, as of now, we need a recoup from such a big year.”
