Busy April Ahead For Wright Rally Team
The Wright Rally team are about to enter the busiest month of their 2014 campaign which will see Stephen and Susanne take on 3 rallies in as many weekends. This weekend sees the pair and their Peugeot 208 R2 head to Belgium for the latest round of the BFO Belgian Rally Championship when they tackle the TAC Rally which is a counting round of the 208 Rally Trophy.
After Belgium, it's back to home soil for the Circuit of Ireland Rally, which takes place over the Easter weekend. With European Championship status this year, the Circuit has attracted a healthy R2 entry and Stephen and Susanne are seeded right in the heat of the battle at number 20 surrounded by Italian, Polish, Dutch, Czech and Norwegian crews. With the Circuit done and dusted the siblings then head back to Belgium for the next round of the 208 Rally Trophy on the Rallye de Wallonie, a tough 3 day, 21 stage event.
It's going to be a very busy 21 days with rallies, recces and ferries but it is a challenge that Stephen is looking forward to. "It'll be a busy month but we can't wait to get started. Being honest, it will be a challenge in itself to even make the start line of the 3 events but we'll drive with that in mind and hopefully we'll be in the mix for some good results in very competitive fields. To test our speed against European Championship regulars on the Circuit will be a real bonus."
