Neuville starts dreaming of the IRC title again

The team Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg confirmed that Thierry Neuville would be well lined up in the next four rounds of the IRC, namely the Barum Rally (August 26-28), the Mecsek Rally (September 9-11), the Sanremo Rally (September 22-24) and the RACMSA Rally of Scotland (October 7-9). If he is in contention for the title, then the Belgian could also be involved in Cyprus (November 3-5).

Good news for the young 23-year-old driver, who is starting to dream of a title again. “The fact that I am participating in the Barum Rally means that anything is possible in the championship during this second half of the season, He says. It won't be easy to play for victory there, but if I manage to reach the finish in a good position, then I will have my chances in the championship. »

Victorious in the Tour de Corse and on the podium in the Canaries, the duo Thierry Neuville-Nicolas Gilsoul is 35 points behind leader Juho Hänninen.
