Irish Driver Aims for WRC Return
The Irish rally driver is currently participating in the British Rally Championship (BRC) this season, having previously competed in the World Rally Championship (WRC) scene. Last year, he took part in the WRC2 category but does not have a similar program for this season.
Focus on BRC
At present, the BRC is his primary focus. While he holds the BRC in high regard, his ultimate goal remains to return to the WRC with his current vehicle. He expressed a strong desire to prove himself at the top level of rallying.
Challenges of WRC Return
The path back to the WRC is fraught with challenges. The financial requirements for competing in the BRC are significantly lower than those for the WRC. He acknowledged that gaining experience in the car is essential for a successful return to the WRC.
Inspiration from Peers
Despite the challenges, he sees potential for success. A recent example is a fellow Irish driver who unexpectedly moved to the top category after being signed as a factory driver. This achievement serves as motivation for him and other aspiring drivers from Ireland, showcasing that success at the highest level is attainable.
Future Aspirations
As the season progresses, he remains open to various options, considering opportunities in the European Rally Championship (ERC), BRC, and WRC. His commitment to reaching the WRC remains steadfast, and he is dedicated to working hard to achieve this goal.
