Kronos Racing set for IRC return in Sanremo

One of the most successful teams in Intercontinental Rally Challenge history will return to the series on Rallye Sanremo next month.

Belgium-based Kronos Racing, which guided Nicolas Vouilloz and Kris Meeke to back-to-back IRC drivers’ titles in 2008 and 2009 respectively, will field a Peugeot 207 Super 2000 for Harry Hunt on the Italian asphalt event from 12-13 October.

“Kronos Racing are very happy to announce their return to the international rally scene with the young and promising Harry Hunt and his co-driver Robbie Durant,” the team said in a statement.

Kronos has claimed two victories in Sanremo in the past, with Meeke winning in 2009 and Thierry Neuville finishing first last season.
