WRC – Will you see Kris Meeke again this year?

He no longer appeared in WRC for 18 months. For his return, during the Rally from Finland last weekend, Kris Meeke had a good performance: “the best of his career” in his own words. Aboard the Citroën DS3 WRC usually driven by Khalid Al-Qassimi, the Briton held fifth place for a good while, before abandoning at the very end of the event, when he rolled several times on the first pass of Ouninpohja .
Despite the abandonment that resulted from this outing, Kris Meeke had time to make an impression. Starting with that of Khalid Al-Qassimi, who openly suggested on Twitter that we could see the Briton again this season. “Luck comes and goes. Kris is deserving. This is how he will grow. Kris Meeke to you and all your fans, I'm thinking of another chance. » This new appearance could take place at the Australian Rally, where it is expected that the Emirati will not start.

“Kris did an excellent job, I wasn’t surprised”, added Al-Qassimi in Gulf News, not hesitating to mention 2014. “He was on par with Mikko and was faster than Dani. It gave us food for thought. Our priority is to get the best from our drivers for the rest of the season. We need to be on the podium. But we are also thinking about next season. Kris might have his chances. »
