WorldRX – First official outing for François Duval

On Wednesday, Team Marklund officially unveiled the car that will be used by Belgian François Duval on the occasion of the flat country round of the WorldRX World Championship, held on July 12 and 13. The former resident of WRC at Citroën and Ford, will ride on a Volkswagen Polo Supercar whose performance he has already seen. " I am very impatient, declares the 33-year-old pilot. It’s a part of motorsport that has always attracted me. The cars are fantastic, and the competition should be close. »

Marklund's communications director Atte Varsta said he was delighted with François Duval's adaptation. “As soon as he was able to take control of the car, he was immediately on the pace. It's good to see that he's a real talent and a real professional. He will certainly be a threat to all regular championship competitors at the round in Belgium in July. »

François Duval will notably find Petter Solberg against whom he had fought in rally in the middle of the 2000 years.
