My Rally Dream Starts Now — and I Need Your Help!

Hi! My name is Roe O’Neill, I’m a 16-year-old rally driver from Mallorca, and I’m building my first real rally car to compete in the Balearic Rally Championship (FX class) in 2025.

For as long as I can remember, all I've wanted to do is race.

I grew up sim racing at a high level, and now I’m finally taking the leap into real rallying.

My long-term goal is simple:

Go from a local kid in Mallorca…

to a national competitor…

and one day make it to the WRC.

But motorsport is expensive — and as a teenager with no family money behind me, I can’t do this alone.

Why I’m Asking for Support

Every donation, big or small, goes directly into:

Roll cage & safety equipment

Rally tyres and wheels

Suspension & brakes

Fire systems

Entry fees

Mechanical prep

helmet and suit, boots and gloves

Travel + fuel for events

I’m also documenting the entire journey through YouTube and Instagram, where supporters can follow the build, training, and my first rallies.

What Your Support Means

You won’t just be helping me build a rally car.

You’ll be helping me build:

A racing career

A community of people who believe a kid can make something happen with enough work

And if you donate:

Your name goes ON the rally car.

Everyone who contributes gets a shoutout on the rear window — you literally join the team.

Why This Matters to Me

Motorsport is everything I’ve ever wanted.

I’m putting in the work — training, learning, building, emailing sponsors, creating content — but I need help covering the huge upfront cost of a FIA-legal rally build.

If you’ve ever believed in someone chasing their dream, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank You

Even €5 genuinely helps.

Sharing the page helps.

Following the journey helps.

And who knows — maybe one day you’ll be able to say:

“I helped that kid get to the WRC.”

Thank you for reading.

Let’s make this happen.
