Grönholm confirms his GRC program

With six rounds planned, the double Finnish rally world champion will take on a discipline that he knows little about with a brand that he has made shine for several years in WRC. Indeed, Marcus Gröhholm will take the wheel of a Ford Fiesta prepared by Best Buy Racing to demonstrate that a driver of rally can tackle any challenge as long as it includes four wheels and a motor. “It’s great to get back to business with a complete program worthy of the name, explains the Finn. Especially since this discipline is creating a real buzz, I am sure that it has a bright future ahead of it. The spectators come in numbers and it is televisual. Watching the cars jump on top of each other is crazy. The fight is fierce every time, this discipline is simply addictive. »

The Finn will have David Binks as a teammate but he will also be pitted against all kinds of athletes ranging from former freestylers like Travis Pastrana, to extreme skiers and even drift specialists. ?I imagine that my CV corresponds to this type of competition. But I don't take anything for granted. There are a lot of drivers coming from different backgrounds. But what is certain is that our goal is to win. Let's wait and see how the first round in Charlotte goes to find out more about our performance. »

This first round is already planned for May 26 in association with the Nascar Coca 600 Sprint Cup.
