So far dominated by Dani Sordo, still in the discovery phase of the World Championship, the 2009 IRC champion will be keen to shine, at the end of the season, on the roads of Wales. “ With the absence of an event in Ireland, it's almost a home event for me. I started my first rally in Wales and it was in the British championship that I learned my lessons ».

If for the Mini, the ground is not the preferred surface, knowledge of the terrain could be an ally. “ Wales is a terrain on which I feel good. We need to raise our ambitions because we will have a lot of local supporters. We will be on an equal footing at certain times because there will be new stages that the regulars of the championship will also discover. I would like to end the season on a positive note He concluded.
