World RX – Manfred Stohl with Solberg in Argentina

Manfred Stohl is preparing to make his World RX debut by joining Petter Solberg in San Luis (Argentina) where the final will take place on November 27-28. The Austrian will be fielding a second Citroën DS3 Supercar in a region he knows well having participated in several national rallies. “I have kept many Argentinian friends since my journey in rally and it will be nice to come back to San Luis. Petter and I are old friends and I've been to see him a few times at World RX races. I now have the chance to drive a Supercar in Argentina alongside the world champion. »

The weekend should not be a cakewalk for Manfred Stohl, whose experience in Supercar is limited to a test session at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta in Austria during the Austrian Champions Race held in Greinbach. . “The cars had already left for Argentina when I received confirmation that I would be joining Petter in his team and unfortunately I did not have time to do any testing. But I'm still eager to gain as much experience as possible in RX. »
