Alister McRae will join the World RX grid for the final four rounds of the 2017 season. Colin's younger brother will drive Loco Energy's Volkswagen Polo RX Supercar, replacing Guy Wilks from the Lohéac (Brittany) event from 1st to September 3.

“It’s fantastic to have the chance to drive the Loco Energy Drink Polo RX Supercar in France, comments Alister McRae. World RX is incredibly competitive and this will be my baptism of fire, but I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to riding in Lohéac. It will be a great learning experience. »

Alister McRae will be able to count on his experience of rally since he made 75 starts in WRC with Hyundai, Subaru et Mitsubishi.

Guy Wilks, who participated in the first eight rounds of the season, hopes to return to World RX soon.

“I decided to leave my place after Canada. I hope to return to World RX soon but at the same time I wish Alister the best. He is very talented behind the wheel and it will be interesting to see how he does in RX. »
