IRC winner Bouffier reveals illness struggle

Bryan Bouffier, currently sixth overall in the battle for victory on Giru di Corsica-Tour de Corse, admits he is struggling with illness on his return to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.

The French ace, who is driving a Delta Rally Peugeot 207 Super 2000, said he has not been feeling well for the last two days.

“I don’t know what is wrong but I am not felling perfect and towards the end of the stages by breathing is not so good – maybe I am too old,” said the former Rallye Monte-Carlo winner. “At least the car is much better yesterday with not so much understeer. I try to be faster.”
