Who is driving the i20 Coupe WRC in South America?

All four of our crews will get time behind the wheel of the i20 Coupe WRC in the forthcoming South American double header with a different combination tackling Rally Argentina and Rally Chile.

“We are looking forward with great anticipation to our South American double-header in Argentina and Chile,” said our Team Director Andrea. “When looking at our line-up for these events we wanted to deliver a mix of consistency and also offer the opportunity to all our crews.”

Strength in depth

Thierry and Nicolas, winners in Argentina back in 2017, will be joined by crew Andreas and Anders in both rallies. Dani and Carlos will participate in Argentina, before handing over to Sébastien and Daniel for Chile.

“Thierry and Andreas will participate in both events, and will be ready to compete at the highest level,” explained Andrea. “For Dani, Argentina is an important rally, and we hope he will be able to show the same high rhythm and performance that he demonstrated in Mexico. Sébastien’s experience is like no other in WRC so to be able to make use of that in our first visit to Chile will be very important for us as a team.”

Rally Argentina takes place from April 25-28, with WRC’s inaugural Rally Chile following shortly after from May 9-12.
