‘Dinta' Officer's wide success in Safaris, ARC & WRC
With a nickname like ‘Dinta’, you’d expect that David Officer started his rallying career in the Colin McRae mode, but that’s not the case.
From early days rallying Mini Coopers and even a 1960 DeSoto, the Victorian quickly made a name for himself by winning the 1983 Victorian Rally Championship.
He followed that up a year later by winning the national championship as a privateer, driving a Mitsubishi Galant against ex-works Fiat Abarths and Ford Escorts.
A two-time Alpine Rally and Australian Safari winner, ‘Dinta’ sat down with RallySport Magazine’s Peter Whitten for our latest DustTrails podcast.
Dinta talks of that successful 1984 season, and of losing the 1983 ARC by just a single point, while also going into detail about a drive for Holden in the 1995 Round Australia Trial that was scuppered at the last minute.
Still getting behind the wheel occasionally in his Galant, and now a key member of the RallySafe team, he speaks candidly about a brilliant career – backed all the way by his just as enthusiastic wife, Kate.
Enjoy Dinta Officer’s story, told by the man himself.
