DARLINGTON rally driver Guy Wilks is in Intercontinental Rally Challenge action from today.
Just under a month after their last rally in Grand Canaria, Peugeot UK's Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh have resumed their campaign on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.
"I've already visited Corsica, so I have a little knowledge of what the roads are like," said Wilks. "This will only be my third outing in the Peugeot 207 S2000. However, thanks to the Rally Gran Canaria and also to my test programme, I have learned a great deal about how to drive the car on asphalt. I've made progress, which is why I am feeling quietly confident."
A total of 56 crews set off at the start of the rally today. Peugeot will have a strong presence at the front of the rally as Ari Vatanen will be driving the "zero" car a Peugeot 207 RC Rallye with his son Max sitting alongside him.
